Workshop information
What will you learn?
Work is an important part of life so when you stop full time
surgery or are approaching retirement, you need to take time to
plan for the next stage. It's crucial that as much thinking and
planning are undertaken for life after surgery as was given to
building your career in the first place.
Surgeons who attend can expect to:
- receive information about retirement and motivation to plan for
retirement
- share the experience of retired Fellows to stimulate interest
in alternative careers and lifestyles
- gain financial and legal management information and
resources.
Key learning outcomes
- To know when to put the scalpel down.
- To better understand the psycho-social changes associated with
retirement.
- To build a well-balanced, active and creative retirement.
- To be aware of the legal requirements of selling or winding
down a practice.
- To broaden understanding of a superannuation opportunities and
tax requirements.
Target group - Surgeons from all specialties
who are considering retirement from operative or other types of
surgical practice will benefit from attending this day long
workshop. Fellows from a variety of disciplines and their partners
join with colleagues and corporate speakers in an interactive
discussion format that focuses on three sessions:
- preparing for retirement
- options after retirement
- resources to realise options.
Sponsorship - This activity is proudly
supported by the Bongiorno National Network
and mlcoa
