<p>A well-established cardiovascular surgery group within a major academic health system in metro Detroit is recruiting a board-certified or board-eligible Cardiothoracic Surgeon to join a high-volume, high-acuity practice. The primary operating site is a Level I trauma center, with additional coverage responsibilities across a multi-hospital system that includes Level II trauma centers, tertiary referral centers, and community campuses. Two dedicated CT surgical PAs provide rounding and call support, and full administrative infrastructure — billing, coding, collections, and marketing — is handled centrally, keeping your focus on clinical work. This is a compelling opportunity for a CT surgeon who wants procedural depth, case complexity, and a collaborative team environment in one of the Midwest's most dynamic cities.</p>

<h3>About the Community</h3> <p>Detroit offers a cost of living well below the national average alongside a cultural richness that rivals any major U.S. metro — from James Beard-nominated restaurants in Corktown and the Eastern Market (the largest historic open-air market in the country) to the Detroit Institute of Arts and a live music scene rooted in the city's Motown legacy. Housing options range from renovated Midtown lofts to stately homes in Grosse Pointe and the charming suburbs of Birmingham and Rochester Hills, giving physicians flexibility in lifestyle and neighborhood character. All four major professional sports franchises call Detroit home, and the Detroit Riverwalk, Belle Isle Park, and the broader Great Lakes region provide year-round outdoor recreation — kayaking, sailing, and cross-country skiing among them.
