There are not enough medical school graduates to maintain the status quo in the national number of physicians as their aging colleagues retire, much less keep up with a growing patient population and its demands. Numerous studies and anecdotal evidence demonstrate that many physicians can continue practicing safely beyond age 65. This course examines considerations in encouraging and properly managing continued professional involvement of older physicians. It also reviews steps to take when addressing a practice dilemma involving the aging physician.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:

Identify common cognitive, sensory, and motor illnesses that may affect physicians as they age;
Describe signs of under-performance;
Recognize the ethical responsibility of physicians to address potentially impairing conditions in colleagues and themselves to promote safe patient care; and
Employ steps that monitor and support safe practices of senior physicians.

This program is developed for physicians, residents, and students of medical professionals in all specialties.
