The practice of medicine in Nome, Alaska is not for everyone. But if you are looking for a place where you can still make a difference, a place where your kids can play in the tundra or walk down to the river to go fishing. A place where everyone knows everyone else, and enjoys it that way. If you would enjoy your work week to include a trip to an ancient Eskimo village, giving advice to health aids over the phone, and flying to Russia on a medivac, then maybe you’ll know what we mean when we say “THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE NOME”.
