Hey
I am applying to General Surgery this year. I really love CT surgery, and I already know that the future does not look promising. Trust me, anytime I mention it I get a full 10 minutes lecture. Regardless, I still love it, and I hope that over the next five years some new things will help to open it up. I figure I have 5 years before I need to make a decision, so for right now I will just keep my fingers crossed
Anyway, in the event that I do end up doing a CT fellowship, I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on where I should do my Gen Surg training. Should I try to go to a program with a great CT program, or do I want to go somewhere that does not have fellows so I can get more experience? Is research not a good idea anymore for CT since it is not that competitive, would it be a waste of time?
Any help appreciated, thanks
