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.

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.

Key Responsibilities

Provide outpatient and inpatient pediatric gastroenterology care while utilizing a full endoscopy suite for various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Participate in the academic training of GI fellows, residents, and medical students within an ACGME-accredited program.

Requirements

Candidates must be board certified or board eligible in Pediatric Gastroenterology and eligible for licensure in Michigan. Preference is given to those with additional training in hepatology, advanced endoscopy, motility, or nutrition.
