It focuses on the retirement stage, which follows planning for retirement and deciding when and how to retire. We view retirement as a process, characterized by recalibrating professional and personal activities while maintaining a sense of purpose and meaning in life. Some retirees may continue to work in medicine by seeing patients part-time or mentoring medical students, residents, and junior colleagues. Others may leave their lifelong work and seek joy and meaning in travel, spending time with family and friends, volunteering, and developing their personal interests and activities. Ideally, well-being in retirement includes having sufficient energy for activities and relationships that are meaningful, provide purpose, and are enjoyable. Stress during retirement usually shifts from occupational concerns to personal challenges with professional identity, caring for family and friends, maintaining one's health, and relationship losses. Programs that specifically support retired physicians exist at some large health systems and select academic centers, which can complement resources provided by general medical associations and specialty societies. These can serve as models for other medical centers and a foundation for extending and expanding support to retired physicians.</p>","PeriodicalId":18334,"journal":{"name":"Mayo Clinic proceedings","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145238851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article focuses on the late-career phase. Late career can be a great career stage characterized by meaning and contribution as well as by preparation. Physicians in this phase hold a tremendous amount of experience and wisdom that they can use to benefit their patients and colleagues. Finishing well and deciding when to leave are also pressing concerns on the mind of many late-career physicians. To successfully navigate this transition, late-career physicians must simultaneously recognize and celebrate what they have accomplished, consider how to optimize meaning in current work, and reflect on their next chapter. Viewing the remaining years in practice as an opportunity for an \"encore\" and considering the desired focus can be a helpful mind set. Late-career physicians must also consider how they will facilitate the transition of their leadership roles through mentoring and development of colleagues. Finally, preparing well for the next season of life requires attending not only to financial planning but to social, emotional, and relationship planning. Investing in relationships and interests at the beginning of the last career stage can set the stage for a more optimal transition to the retirement phase when that time comes.</p>","PeriodicalId":18334,"journal":{"name":"Mayo Clinic proceedings","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145238871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
