Why do physicians choose to call Alaska home for their medical career?
If you love the great outdoors, then Alaska is the perfect destination for the rugged to practice medicine. As the largest state in the U.S. it is still largely natural and unexplored. Full of snowy mountains, natural lakes, dense forests and fresh streams, Alaska is bursting with places to hunt, fish, hike or camp. And with natural phenomenons like the Northern Lights of the Aurora Borealis, every new day brings a new experience you will never forget.
As a result of such a diverse landscape and climate, Alaska is also home to the most amazing cultures and friendliest people in the world. Its history will surely broaden your horizon with museums dedicated to the Gold Rush and their native population. For physician sports enthusiasts, Alaska offers traditional golf and adventuresome ice golf courses. Additionally, residents not only get a share of the state's oil revenue, but there is no state income tax because of the pipeline.
You'll never quite scratch the surface of what Alaska has to offer resident physicians. When work isn't keeping you busy, Mother Nature will! From hiking trails, rivers and streams you could spend a lifetime trying to see it all, but lucky for you Alaska is your home and you won't have far to go. Come back often as new Alaska healthcare opportunities are updated daily.
