Retirement from clinical practice is not retirement from purpose. White Coats in Retirement brings together experienced physicians who want to defend evidence-based medicine, advance health equity, and mentor the next generation—without institutional or career constraints.

 

Through advocacy, rapid-response engagement, and partnership with DFA’s Copello Fellowship, retired physicians leverage their expertise and credibility to shape policy, counter misinformation, and speak out when it matters most.

At a time when medicine and public health face unprecedented challenges, seasoned voices carry unique authority. White Coats in Retirement offers flexible ways to lead—writing, testifying, mentoring, advising, or stepping forward in urgent moments.
