Our Commitment to Wellness
RUSH Urology is dedicated to our residents' well-being to promote emotional, physical, social, and spiritual health throughout their time in residency. We achieve this through group outings, exercise classes, online resources and providing days off as needed for wellness.
The Urology Wellness Committee
Our wellness committee consists of a resident from each program year, our program coordinator and a designated faculty member. This committee meets every quarter to discuss and plan wellness outings, bring forth new and innovative wellness topics and ideas as well as discuss any wellness concerns from fellow residents.
