Transitional Retirement Implementation Program (TRIP)

Thinking about retirement? Consider taking a TRIP

 The Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry wishes to provide a suite of options for academic faculty members and faculty service officers (“eligible academic staff”) considering retirement. Specifically, eligible academic staff may be concerned about how their retirement decision affects their ability to wind down research/scholarly activities in a gradual way. 

Some eligible academic staff have expressed interest in a mechanism to support the wind-down of their research and scholarly activities in preparation for their retirement. In order to provide this support the  Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry has created the Transitional Retirement Implementation Program (TRIP).

TRIP provides the following benefits as these individuals transition to retirement:

  • Timely and viable retirement solutions

  • Retention of productive, wise experts

  • Retention of mentorship for community
