Why is Detroit a Good Place to Train in OEM?

OEM job opportunities in the greater Detroit area appear in a variety of private or hospital-based OEM clinics. In addition, corporate positions as staff or contractual physicians are offered. Since Detroit and Southeastern Michigan are noted for their high industrial density, OEM experiences for trainees and graduates are abounding. Wayne State University's Division of Occupational and Environmental Medicine is conveniently located in downtown Detroit, in the Detroit Medical Center (DMC). The DMC infrastructure includes several major hospitals, and is affiliated with the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute. The DMC is one of the largest medical complexes in the United States.

The Detroit metropolitan area offers many attractions for art lovers (e.g., Michigan Opera Theater, Music Hall, Detroit Cultural Center, numerous ethnic restaurants), sports fans, e.g., baseball (Detroit Tigers), football (Detroit Lions), basketball (Detroit Pistons) and hockey (Detroit Red Wings), and outdoor enthusiasts (e.g., the Grand Prix auto racing on Belle Isle, the Woodward Dream Cruise and the Detroit/Windsor Freedom Festival, the Detroit Zoo). Housing in both the Detroit area and the surrounding suburbs is affordable. Economical apartments and houses for rent or sale are relatively easy to find, many with good freeway accessibility.
