News for Senior and Retired Physicians

Early retirees choose locum tenens work

Early retirees choose locum tenens work

For physicians who are not ready to retire but who want to scale down their work hours, locum tenens work provides an excellent alternative to full time practice. Physicians can enjoy more reasonable hours, while combining work and travel time in a new location. The AMA Senior Physicians Group provides voluntary opportunities online as well as a link to the National Association of Locum Tenens Organizations.

Travel the world with your senior physician colleagues

The AMA Senior Physicians Group is offering 17 new trips in 2013—sponsored through its travel partner, AHI Travel—to international destinations. Spend time with fellow AMA senior physicians on land- or cruise-based travel excursions to such countries as Ireland, Ecuador and China. Cruises will explore the waterways and canals of Holland and Belgium, the Nile River in Egypt, and the Danube River through Europe.

Tours range from eight to 14 days and include optional excursions to add at your leisure. Trips can sell out six months in advance of the departure date, so learn more and sign up today.
