Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Welcome

The University of Wisconsin Department of Urology is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment for faculty, staff, medical students, and our patients. We recognize the immense value of diverse voices and believe that equity and inclusivity are at the heart of a strong community.



The UW Urology Diversity Scholarship

Our outstanding residents play an integral role in meeting the health needs of the people of Wisconsin and beyond through excellence in education, research, and patient care. Therefore, the Department of Urology, in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, is committed to identifying outstanding residents from diverse backgrounds throughout the country.

Employee Resource Groups at UW Health

Department of Urology faculty, staff, residents, and fellows are invited to participate in UW Health’s voluntary, employee-led Employee Resource Groups (ERGs).

ERGs focus on the experiences and perspectives of people of a particular race, ethnic or cultural background, gender, gender identity, religion, age cohort, sexual orientation, history of disabilities, military services, or other affinities. Participation provides opportunities to network, pursue professional and personal development, foster community, and support education and initiatives aimed at enhancing equity and inclusion.
