According to the Conference Board, over 40% of the labour force is poised to retire in large numbers by the end of this decade. Put yourself in their shoes - if you aren't already wearing them. The most common concern among pre-retirees, based on our experience and research, is the looming question, What will I do with myself when I retire? Life After Medicine will enable physicians to answer this question. Because it is a self-help program that can be completed by the individual, it will not take up any of your valuable time organizing or running the program.

• It shows that you care for their future.
• It could relieve a sense of concern or anxiety among physicians who are apprehensive about retiring.
• It is very cost effective and will not take any of your valuable time.
• They will definitely appreciate the opportunity to plan for their life after medicine.

Life After Medicine is an effective and unique retirement lifestyle (non-financial) planning program designed especially for physicians. It is a self-help program, to be completed by the individual. Developed by Dr. Alan Roadburg who has more than 20 years of academic and practical experience in this area, it is based on our exclusive research among 280 retired physicians in the US and Canada - the true experts on retiring from medicine. The main focus is on Life Goal Planning - how to find worthwhile and enjoyable replacements for medicne. This issue was highlighted by the retired physicians when asked what advice they would give to others. For a few example comments on this issue from physician retirees, click here.

Learning Outcomes:

• How to identify personal needs and a retirement life goal.
• How to evaluate and possibly improve current retirement plans.
• How to create new plans before or after retirement.
• How to link Life Goal Planning to a financial plan.
• The decision to retire should not be based solely on money.

• Working in retirement may be taking the easy way out.
• Housing decisions go much beyond real estate issues.
• What to look out for with spousal and social relations.

• Aging is not a retirement issue.
• And much, much more.
