The U-M Medical School Department of Urology Residency Program recognizes that psychological, emotional and physical well-being are critical to the development of the competent, caring and resilient urologist.
We are committed to fostering a wellness culture and providing tools to combat burnout.
Retaining joy in medicine while managing personal stress is essential for residents' well-being. We prioritize our residents’ well-being as an integral part of their training. Our program aims to reduce burnout among urology trainees, enhance patient care, and enable meaningful contributions as urology leaders.
Our urology residency wellness program focuses on multiple wellness domains, nurturing body, mind, spirit, and humanity. These domains include physical health, mental health, social connection, work-life integration and humanitarianism.
Throughout the academic year, we hold events such as yoga and spinning classes, social gatherings, cooking classes, meditation workshops, mental health seminars and non-medical community service.
