The Retirement Committee had to cancel its April meeting because of the coronavirus pandemic. We held a meeting via Zoom on June 16 for general discussion of covid-19 related issues; concerns raised included the possibility of having to resume in-person patient visits, the state mandate for e-prescribing, and coverage arrangements in case of illness. At a second Zoom meeting on September 16, Dr. Margo Goldman presented her thoughts about retirement in this era of telepsychiatry, and a number of others shared their experiences. Dr. Eugene Fierman provided an update on the mentoring program collaboration with the Early Career Psychiatrist group, and Dr. Burns Woodward reported on the initial meeting of the Anti-Racism Work Group. Around twenty-five psychiatrists attended each of these meetings. Our next Zoom gathering will be on January 13, when Dr. Joseph McCabe will share his thoughts on retiring from practice in organizational settings, and Dr. James Harburger will lead off the discussion. Psychiatrists interested in retirement are invited.
