White Coats in Retirement: Your Voice Still Matters

Retiring from clinical practice doesn’t mean retiring from impact. White Coats in Retirement brings together retired physicians who want to protect evidence-based care, advance health equity, and mentor the next generation—free from institutional or career constraints.

Through advocacy, rapid-response engagement, and mentorship with DFA’s Copello Fellowship, retired physicians use their experience and credibility to influence policy, counter misinformation, and speak up when it matters most.

At a time when medicine is under attack, these voices are uniquely powerful. White Coats in Retirement offers flexible ways to engage—whether writing, testifying, mentoring, or responding to urgent public health moments.

Join us and stay involved on your terms.

Reproductive Health Coalition Webinar

In an era where laws and politics increasingly interfere with the patient–clinician relationship, healthcare professionals are often forced to navigate painful ethical gray zones. When the System Says No brings together leading voices in medicine, law, and ethics to explore how clinicians can uphold their duty to care—even when policy and politics stand in the way.

Whether you are a clinician, medical student, policymaker, or advocate, this conversation will challenge and inspire you to reaffirm the values that define medicine itself: empathy, integrity, and the unwavering commitment to put patients first.
