Retirement
For many faculty, the decision to retire is multi-faceted and involves a complex combination of personal and professional considerations as well as the need for various types of information from disparate sources. The purpose of this section is to provide information about relevant Stanford University and School of Medicine policies and programs about the transition to retirement in a single place and to offer additional guidance based on the personal experiences of our faculty.
