Encore — a second act in medicine
You spent decades showing up for patients. Retirement doesn't have to mean stepping away. Across New York, free clinics are short-staffed, under-resourced, and full of patients who have nowhere else to go. Your expertise is still needed. Maybe more than ever.
Encore is the connection between two facts: thousands of healthcare professionals retire each year with active licenses and time to give, and free and charitable clinics are almost always short of clinicians.
Built for late-career clinicians
Physicians, nurses, dentists, pharmacists and therapists stepping back from full-time practice still hold decades of judgment. Clinics need exactly that.
