Hi All.
My situation may be a bit unusual. I have completed residency in internal medicine and fellowship in pulmonary and critical care, but unfortunately dislike the field intensely. In fact, during med school my favorite rotations were surgical, not medical, but I thought I didn't have the "surgical personality" and decided to go into internal medicine.
I can't undo what is done, but was hoping it was not too late for a change. My credentials are good - AOA, 99% on USMLE, prestigious IM residency. I don't know if any of this helps me now. Does anyone have an advice on what I need to do in order to apply and get into a good ENT program? Also, could my 8 years in internal medicine be used as a substitute for the 1 prelim year in general surgery?
Thank you!
