CARES
MUSIC Cares' mission is to make Michigan the best place in the world to practice urology.
What is MUSIC CARES?
MUSIC has been focused on reducing surgical complications within the state in partnership with our surgeons. One aspect that is often ignored is the impact these complications can have on a surgeons well-being. There is increasing evidence that shows surgeons who experience complications can have a negative impact on patient outcomes.
MUSIC recently led a nationwide workshop on this topic, highlighting how surgeons can cope with complications. You can find a recording here: https://musicurology.com/2022-spring-skills-workshop/. As a result, we have established a surgeon led support group within MUSIC. This group will focus on providing peer support to tackle the lows that may happen with protracted difficultcomplications but not clinical/technical advice.
