ABSTRACT
There is little written information on how to plan the retirement from clinical activities in order to achieve happiness in the old age. There are different specialists with expertise, programs and routines designed to prevent, diagnose and treat different conditions typical of each of the cycles of life of human beings. The question is at what stage of life would it be appropriate to initiate the project and process of medical retirement?, as it should include prevention, routine, and a plan to slow down aging in order to arrive to old age with physical, mental and economical happiness. The intention of this paper is to propose a medical retirement plan to achieve happiness in the old age. The factors that determine aging are: genetics, the environment, and the character and will of the individual. Therefore the medical retirement plan to achieve happiness in old age should include the concepts of physical, mental and economic well being. Up to the extent that we maintain a physical, mental, and economic autonomy and fulfill the established retirement plan, we will succeed in delaying the onset of old age. We conclude that it is necessary to accept retirement and to plan ahead of it.
