One of the faculty at my school told me: "there are two kinds of ENT programs, the ones that make department chairs, and the ones that make rich doctors." I realize he was largely joking, but it got me wondering: where are the departments that are more focused on community practice rather than academics?
I realize of course that you can do academics or private practice after training at just about any institution, so I guess a more specific question would be: where are the departments that would be less likely to count a sparse research experience against me? Research/academics is really not something I want to do with my life, so I would be interested in finding the programs that provide large-volume training and independence for residents, rather than programs that have residents involved in lots of faculty research projects and paper-writing.
Thanks!
