Verification notes

USAC's official postgraduate catalogue and university approval record establish the programme. Historical calls identify UNICAR and two approved years of general surgery as prerequisites. The current 2026-27 portal does not publicly expose a specialty-specific place, so no open vacancy or deadline is claimed.
