Testimonials

“A day well spent – Motivating, resourceful and engaging speaker. Session was very interactive and thought provoking. It was a great opportunity to connect and share experiences and ideas with peers at somewhat similar career stages. Definitely helpful in starting for a healthy and fulfilling retirement from medical practice. Highly recommended!”

“I hope the NBMS will provide and promote this workshop annually. I learned a lot and feel it would benefit any physician on the retirement spectrum! I left feeling unsettled…tells me I need to re-examine my priorities. Great workshop!! Thank you for bringing it to us!”

– Dr. Ann Collins

“Thank-you to the NBMS for organizing the retirement sessions. Dr. Erhard did an excellent job of facilitating discussion. He presented the participants with enough information to understand life’s challenges and opportunities after retirement, and strategies to cope with life’s changes. From the introductions at the beginning of the session, I was impressed with how freely the physicians (me included) disclosed their concerns about life after retirement and continued to contribute their ideas and feelings throughout the session. Obviously, we felt we were in a safe space with this small group. I recommend this or similar sessions be repeated regularly.”

– Dr. Lynn Hansen
