Locums semi retirement
Good morning all,
Anesthesiologist in my 50s here. My kids will both soon be in college and my parter and I are contemplating our next steps. I've done some locums work during vacation weeks in the past and I'm seriously considering quitting my full time job and slowing down, selling our house and working 2 90ish day contracts a year and spending the other 2 quarters slow traveling to find our ideal retirement location where we will buy a new home. Then would continue working as much as I need to until pulling the trigger on retirement. Ideally I would like to find contracts where I could do solo anesthesia if possible. Anyone have any guidance on the feasibility or potential problems with this plan? The only concern I can think of is the 90 day periods where I won't be working and if this will cause any problems with credentialing. Seems like a perfect way to check out new places and providing flexibility income wise.
