This episode looks at one of the biggest steps in a physician’s career: retirement. It’s common to avoid thinking about retirement, and the idea can sometimes come as a shock—professionally, personally, or financially. This month, we speak with physicians both in and out of retirement, as well as two psychiatrists whose research focuses on medical professionals’ identity.
Guests: A/Prof Jill Sewell FRACP (Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne), A/Prof Carmelle Peisah FRANZCP (Consultant Old Age Psychiatrist, Conjoint Professor UNSW, Clinical Associate Professor University of Sydney), Dr Chanaka Wijeratne FRANZCP (Prince of Wales Hospital, Conjoint Associate Professor University of Notre Dame Australia), Emeritus Professor John Dwyer FRACP (UNSW Medicine).
Links to resources mentioned on the show are provided on the RACP website. Fellows of the RACP can claim CPD credits for listening and further reading on this topic via MyCPD.
The College is developing further tools to support members who are considering retirement—to register your interest in this project, please contact sppp@racp.edu.au.
