(FR10) Should I Stay or Should I Go? Retirement Planning for PALTC Clinicians

Friday, March 10, 2023

1:00 PM – 2:30 PM ET

Room: 114/115

CME: (1.5) MOC: (1.5) CMD Management: (1.5) Nursing Contact Hours: (1.5)

Retirement among PALTC clinicians is increasing for a variety of reasons but has received little attention in PALTC organizations. Research suggests that time-sensitive retirement planning is a critical factor in a variety of ways, as it impacts stakeholders in all domains. Given the dearth of geriatricians and clinicians in PALTC available to provide care in the face of a rapidly aging and growing population, attention to retirement planning for those in this group is vitally important.

This session is designed to address the topic of retirement, presented by a panel of recently retired AMDA members with diverse backgrounds in geriatrics. This interactive discussion will focus on personal, professional, financial, psychosocial and other issues which factor into decision-making and the strategic planning retirement process from start to finish, as well as a toolkit of resources to assist attendees on their retirement journey.

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this session, learners will be able to:

Discuss the topic of retirement and retirement planning as a developmental milestone for PALTC clinicians
Describe pre and post retirement experiences of four AMDA members from different backgrounds (academic, entrepreneurial, business, PACE post-Covid) who are now retired
Identify two free resources that may be very helpful in approaching the issue of retirement planning
Describe factors influencing PALTC clinicians in their decision to remain in practice or retire
