Why Detroit
Metro Detroit is a bigger, bolder city than its reputation suggests — a region undergoing genuine resurgence with a thriving dining scene, world-class arts institutions like the Detroit Institute of Arts, and the internationally acclaimed Detroit Symphony Orchestra.
Outdoor enthusiasts have easy access to biking and hiking trails, water sports along the Detroit River, and the countless lakes that define Michigan's natural landscape.
The area is home to excellent public and private schools, strong universities, and a cost of living that makes a physician's income stretch considerably further than in comparable metro markets. Detroit rewards those who look closer — and so does this opportunity.
