Description
Retirement for orthopaedic surgeons looks nothing like it did a decade ago, and understanding what's changed can make all the difference in how you plan your next chapter.
The traditional model of setting a date, handing off patients, and walking away from clinical medicine is giving way to something far more nuanced. Today's orthopaedic surgeons are navigating a landscape shaped by economic pressures, persistent workforce shortages, evolving care models, and deeply personal questions about identity and purpose. The result is a retirement that unfolds less like an on/off switch and more like a dimmer — gradual, intentional, and highly individualized.
In this session, experts from Jackson Physician Search, the exclusive physician recruitment partner of AAOS, will explore the forces reshaping physician retirement and what they mean specifically for orthopaedic surgeons. Whether you're years away from retirement or actively thinking about winding down, this session will help you understand your options and approach your transition with clarity and confidence.
