Professionally, he is also affiliated with several medical centers and hospitals throughout the state of Michigan, including: Detroit Medical Center; Beaumont Hospital, Farmington Hills; Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak; Ascension Providence Hospital – Novi Campus; and Ascension Providence Hospital – Southfield Campus.

Alongside his clinical role, he serves on the teaching faculty of the Internal Medicine Residency Program at Beaumont Hospital, Farmington Hills and is a Clinical Professor at the Michigan State College of Osteopathic Medicine.

Back in 1978, Dr. Korkigian graduated with his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from the Kansas City University College of Osteopathic Medicine. Upon graduation, he went on to complete his internship and residency in internal medicine at Beaumont Hospital, Farmington Hills in 1979 and 1982, respectively. 

Following his training, he became board-certified in internal medicine and geriatric medicine through the American Osteopathic Board of Internal Medicine (AOBIM). The AOBIM is an organization that provides board certification to qualified Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine who specialize in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease in adults.

Holding membership status with several professional organizations, Dr. Korkigian is a member of the American Osteopathic Association, the American College of Osteopathic Internist, the Michigan Association of Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons and remains as the Chief of the Department of Medicine at William Beaumont Farmington Hills for the last 10 years.

In recognition of his clinical and academic excellence, Dr. Korkigian is the recipient of several awards. He was voted for the Top Doctor Award in Hour Magazine Detroit eight times, and received the Trainer of the Year Award at William Beaumont Farmington Hills nine times.

Internal medicine is the medical specialty dealing with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adult diseases. Physicians specializing in internal medicine are called internists. They manage and prevent common and complex diseases by providing comprehensive care and promoting overall well-being.

Geriatrics, or geriatric medicine, is a specialty that focuses on health care of elderly people. It aims to promote health by preventing and treating diseases and disabilities in older adults. Geriatricians are physicians who work primarily with the elderly. Although they address their patients’ multiple medical problems and chronic illnesses, geriatricians focus primarily on quality of life and functional ability. They determine when it is no longer medically safe for seniors to live alone and counsel them on alternative living arrangements, as well as counsel patients and families on end of life care.

On a more personal note, Dr. Korkigian speaks both English and Armenian.
