The Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto (FMUP) has been leading the way at UP in reconciling the various dimensions of the lives of its teachers, researchers and technicians, with a view to minimising absenteeism and maximising the retention of talent. As a doctor and humanist, the director of the FMUP believes that, as the person who works and lives in society is one and the same, it is essential that the profession is fully articulated with the other dimensions of life, such as the personal and family, thus strengthening the resulting whole. In fact, an institution can only achieve high levels of efficiency and innovation if its employees are physically, mentally and socially healthy!
