Hi all,

I am a first year medical student interested in general surgery and ultimately want to take up head and neck surgery. I was wondering what i can do to strengthen my CV in the first 2 years. I already completed a month's observership with a head and neck surgeon and during the summer break wrote an article and it's abstract with my PI. Would doing more observerships help ? I was thinking of doing another one at a more reputable place during break next year..

I already hold a doctoral in dental surgery (outside US though) and hence the keen interest in h&n surgery.

Thanks in advance for your responses....
