Patient-care Transitions: Planning Your Clinical Legacy
Transitions in Medicine, session 2
Get a practical snapshot of what clinical transition and legacy planning can look like as you move through the later stages of your career. Our goal is to ensure physicians leave this session with a clear understanding of their responsibilities and the practical steps involved in transitioning patient care.
This session focuses on how clinicians can thoughtfully and compliantly transition out of active clinical practice, ensuring continuity of patient care, and supporting divisions through effective succession planning. We explore real-world considerations, institutional policies, and personal reflections to help you plan with clarity and intention.
