What Urology Residents Say
Real insights from verified urology residents about their training experience.
“The worst part about urology residency is the “home call”. A majority of the calls you spend a lot of time in the hospital. We do power weekends. There is a chance you don’t get to go home for 72 hours straight. It’s diabolical that this is still allowed in this day and age and should absolutely be illegal for patient safety. It’s not educational to be on the pager for over 100 hours straight from Friday night to Monday morning. It’s not educational to being messaged all night about a change in vitals, or someone wanting simethicone or throat losenges.”
“It’ll get better for future generations but we need to chip away at normalizing 80 hour work weeks.”
