Second Calling: Finding Meaning After Medicine
Physicians often feel that they were "called" to their profession. After a very worthwhile career, the challenge many physicians face is finding a new life significance. This highly interactive program will provide opportunities for retired (and about to retire physicians) to explore what may be next in their lives.
Through discussion, visualization and exercises participants will discover new or forgotten pathways to live more fulfilling lives. Participants will leave the session with an action plan for creating a more meaningful life after medicine.
