How would you describe the work/life balance of the Urology Residency program at Mayo Clinic? A strength of the Urology Residency program at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, is great work/life balance. The high volume operative experience that begins early in surgical training is a foundation of the program. However, there is a deliberate focus from the department on resident wellness and adherence to duty hours. Home call is infrequent due to residency size, and increasing time off on weekends. Likewise, residents are allowed to take time off in any day increments which allows flexibility with taking time off to visit family and friends. Lastly, residents and staff frequently meet outside of work to mountain bike, CrossFit, golf, and jog which is a reflection of the relationship with both staff and co-residents.
