A sample survey of 769 ACOG Fellows who were age 60 or older in 1990 was undertaken to determine current patterns of retirement. Among 415 respondents, only 23% reported remaining in full-time practice of both obstetrics and gynecology, with an additional 16% in full-time practice of gynecology only. Full-time practice was reduced to part-time for 24% at the mean age of 63. Thirty-eight percent were fully retired at the mean age of 67.
