As part of Bronson's commitment to excellence, Breast Imaging Services which includes Breast Surgery, Medical Oncology and Radiation Oncology are accredited by the NAPBC. MyMichigan nonprofit health system is headquartered in Midland with 8 medical centers providing care to a 25 county region.

This is a partnership track position with no evening or weekend responsibilities, full compensation and benefits and travel expenses included. You may live where you desire but proximity to Alpena and Alma and willingness to travel will be important.

As described above, Bronson is a 415 bed, non-profit teaching hospital that serves a 9-county region in southwest Michigan and northern Indiana. Alpena is a 139-bed hospital on the shores of beautiful Lake Huron and Alma is a 107-bed teaching hospital serving central Michigan since 1955.

Opportunity to teach surgical residents and medical students
Why is our practice unique? ARS is a 100% physician owned and managed practice. We are committed to remaining independent. We are looking for entrepreneurial minded physicians who value involvement in decision making and developing our business strategy. Participation in section, committee and board meetings is not required but welcomed from day one. While we are an independent private practice, some of our physicians practice with an academic focus. Through affiliations with Michigan State University College of Medicine and Western Michigan University Homer Stryker School of Medicine, our radiologists have opportunities to teach and mentor residents and medical students as well as pursue research if desired. Due to the size and breadth of the healthcare systems we support, diagnostic volume and variety of clinical exposure is unrivaled.
Compensation/Benefits: We offer an outstanding compensation and benefit package. Our physicians pay “0” for single or family medical/dental/vision coverage and enjoy an 18K medical reimbursement account annually. We also contribute the maximum amount allowed to the 401K plan (70K in 2025) every year. We offer a one-year shareholder track for experienced physicians and a two-year track for those coming directly from training. Our package includes individual and group incentives as well as abundant opportunities to pick up additional shifts and increase compensation. We are continually striving to improve the work/life balance for our physicians.
