In the absence of a defined retirement age, academic surgeons need to develop plans for transition as they approach the end of their academic surgical careers. The development of a plan for late career transition represents an opportunity for departments of surgery across Canada to initiate a constructive process in cooperation with the key stakeholders in the hospital or institution. The goal of the process is to develop an individual plan for each faculty member that is agreeable to the academic surgeon; informs the surgical leadership; and allows the late career surgeon, the hospital, the division and the department to make plans for the future. In this commentary, the literature on the science of aging is reviewed as it pertains to surgeons, and guidelines for late career transition planning are shared. It is hoped that these guidelines will be of some value to academic programs and surgeons across the country as late career transition models are developed and adopted.
在没有明确退休年龄的情况下，学术外科医生在接近其学术外科生涯尾声时需要制定转型计划。制定职业生涯后期转型计划为加拿大各地的外科部门提供了一个契机，使其能够与医院或机构的关键利益相关者合作启动一个建设性的过程。该过程的目标是为每位教员制定一份学术外科医生认可的个人计划；告知外科领导层；并使职业生涯后期的外科医生、医院、科室和部门能够为未来制定计划。在这篇评论中，回顾了与外科医生相关的衰老科学文献，并分享了职业生涯后期转型规划指南。希望随着职业生涯后期转型模式的开发和采用，这些指南能对全国的学术项目和外科医生有所帮助。
