Life in the DMV
Washington, DC offers much more than its monuments and museums. The region combines the energy and diversity of a major metropolitan area with neighborhoods and communities that offer a remarkably different pace of life—from Georgetown, Capitol Hill, and the District's vibrant neighborhoods to the established communities of Maryland and Northern Virginia.
Residents have access to outstanding schools and universities, professional sports, exceptional restaurants, theaters and performing arts, extensive parks and trails, and a wide range of cultural and recreational opportunities. The region's three major airports also make travel exceptionally convenient, while the beaches of Maryland and Delaware, the Shenandoah Mountains, and New York City are all within easy reach.
For a surgeon looking to build a rewarding clinical practice while remaining connected to academic medicine and teaching, the Washington metropolitan area offers a rich combination of professional and personal opportunities.
