Why Practice Medicine in Arizona?
We could start by telling you about the 310+ days of sunshine, or the booming
restaurant scene. Or the fact that there are 400 golf courses in the state and
even more than double that in hiking trails in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
Phoenix is ranked as the fifth largest city in the country which is just one
small reason why it is fast becoming an easy choice for physicians to practice
medicine while enjoying a balanced lifestyle. But maybe you would like to hear
it from some of your peers instead:
"EPS allows me to practice cutting edge emergency medicine in a friendly,
democratic environment."
-David Cohen, MD with EPS
"Phoenix has all the tools and attractions that are present in the biggest of
cities, but in a much more relaxed atmosphere. We have all the major
professional sports teams, we have college sports, amazing golf courses, while
also having the great outdoors within a few miles of the perimeter. There is
hiking, fishing, and camping within one hour away or bike riding everywhere. We
have the best possible weather to always have year round activities and things
to do. If you have a hobby, you can make the best of it in Phoenix, while also
having plenty of outdoor activities for you and your family."
-Freeman Favors, MD with NVES
"I grew up in Michigan as a competitive swimmer thus spending 15 winters with a
frozen head of hair after swim practice! One of the main reasons I moved to
Phoenix was for the weather. Now I can swim outdoors year round. In my 13 years
here I have also taken up the sport of triathlon. You learn to run early in the
morning during some months but there is nothing like a December run in shorts
and a T-shirt!"
-Tanya Kne, MD with PMA
