Why Detroit

Detroit is a city in the middle of a genuine resurgence — a place where historic architecture, world-class museums, and a thriving arts and food scene coexist with an affordable cost of living that is rare in any major metro.

The Detroit Institute of Arts, the riverfront, and a restaurant scene that punches well above its weight make for a high quality of life at a fraction of what you'd pay on the coasts.

Families are drawn to established suburban communities like Birmingham, Rochester Hills, and Grosse Pointe, each offering excellent schools and a strong sense of community. If you're looking for a city where your work has real impact and your dollar stretches further, Detroit delivers on both.

Tenet Physician Resources (TPR) provides the ability for physicians to focus on what matters most - compassionate care to the communities we serve - while we manage the day-to-day operations. TPR offers a wide range of opportunities for professionals to meet career expectations at every stage of life. Practices employ physicians, medical assistants and administrative staff to work in environments with advanced medical equipment, robust data and technology.
