Today we’re tackling a topic that’s top of mind for many seasoned physicians: ageism and the opportunities available in the later stages of your career. Whether you’re in your 50s, 60s, or beyond, this episode offers insights into navigating the job market and overcoming age-related challenges. I share perspectives from five experts, including recruiters and physicians who have successfully transitioned to nonclinical roles. We discuss the realities of ageism, how to stay competitive, and the value older physicians bring to the workplace.

In this episode we’re talking about:

• Common misconceptions about age and hiring in nonclinical roles.
• The importance of motivation and adaptability in career transitions.
• Examples of physicians working successfully into their 70s.
• How you might be required to demonstrate tech skills in the interview process.
• The role of LinkedIn in securing new opportunities.
• Leveraging your experience and wisdom in the job market.
• Planning ahead for your later career and retirement.
