Jaswant Singh Mom is an Indian urologist and consultant whose medical career began in New Delhi and continued through surgical training in England. He worked in urology, general surgery, and oncology before becoming a consultant urologist at Law Hospital in Carluke, Scotland, and later participating in international laparoscopic-surgery training.
Background
Jaswant Singh Mom was born on March 12, 1956, in Amritsar, North, India, to Manmohan Singh and Prakash Kaur Mom. He moved to England in 1984, continuing his medical development within the British hospital system after beginning his clinical work in New Delhi.
Education
Mom received the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery from the University College of Medical Sciences in New Delhi in 1980. He later received a Master of Science from Lady Hardinge College in 1984 and an honorary qualification in urology from the University of London in 1991. The University College of Medical Sciences was established as a major medical teaching institution in Delhi, while Lady Hardinge Medical College, founded in 1914 and formally opened in 1916, developed from an effort to expand women's access to medical education in India. Lady Hardinge was affiliated with the University of Delhi from 1950 and became an important center for medical teaching and postgraduate training.
Mom began his clinical career in New Delhi, serving as a resident and registrar in surgery at Lady Hardinge Medical College and Hospital and Sir Ganga Ram Hospital from 1982 to 1984. Lady Hardinge was one of India's historic teaching hospitals, while Sir Ganga Ram Hospital was an established tertiary-care hospital in New Delhi. In 1983 he also served as convener of First-Aid in New Delhi.
After moving to England in 1984, Mom worked as a house officer in urology, surgery, and oncology at a Birmingham hospital from 1986 to 1987. He then served as a senior house officer in surgical urology at Sunderland Hospital from 1987 to 1989 and as a senior house officer in urology at Lancaster Hospital from 1989 to 1991. These posts formed part of the British hospital-based pathway through which surgeons developed general and specialty experience before consultant appointment.
Mom continued as a registrar at Bury Hospital from 1991 to 1992, Manchester Hospital from 1992 to 1993, and Lancaster Hospital from 1993 to 1994; he also held a registrar post at Lancaster in 1994. From 1994 to 1995 he was a staff urologist at Law Hospital in Carluke, Scotland, and he subsequently became a consultant urologist there. His career developed during a period when British urology was becoming increasingly organized as a distinct surgical specialty, supported by specialist training, professional associations, and expanding endoscopic and minimally invasive techniques.
In 2009, Mom was listed among surgeons completing a laparoscopic-surgery training program at World Laparoscopy Hospital in India. This later training connected his urological practice with the international development of minimally invasive surgery.
