“A physician will experience many firsts in their career: the first white coat, the first murmur heard, the first baby born, and the first day they stop practicing. Dr. Romm has compiled a must-read to assist with the final first.”—Louis Weinstein, MD, Thomas Jefferson University
“Filled with insight and understanding, Dr. Romm’s book shows the way to a rewarding life beyond medicine. Whether you’re a younger physician preparing for retirement or an older physician who has already retired, this is a must-read.”—Ken Teufel, MD, medical director, Interim Physicians
“Dr. Romm addresses important topics such as burnout, deciding when to retire from clinical practice, the emotional challenges surrounding retirement, and strategies for a fulfilling life after medicine. The vignettes of physicians’ experiences and their reflections on retirement are particularly engaging and effective. I will be recommending this book as a must-read for my colleagues.”—John Harlan, MD, professor emeritus, University of Washington
