Why Detroit

Detroit is a city in the middle of a compelling reinvention — and the metro area delivers a quality of life that routinely surprises newcomers. Culturally, it punches well above its weight with the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, and a live music and dining scene rooted in genuine authenticity. Outdoor enthusiasts will find no shortage of options, from water sports and kayaking along the Detroit River to biking and hiking throughout the surrounding lakes region. With a cost of living well below the national average, excellent public and private schools, and strong universities throughout the metro, Detroit is a smart choice for physicians who want professional prestige without sacrificing affordability or livability.
