MS3 here who has whittled down my choices for specialties to just a few. Oto has been the front runner for a while now with my main interest being in the areas of head and neck surgery and reconstructive facial plastics. I haven't gotten to see much else in the field, but other areas like rhinology and otology are not overly appealing to me based on what I know from pathology and anatomy (I'm yet to do my ENT rotation so maybe/hopefully this will change).
That said, am I off my rocker to pursue a residency in ENT if I'm really only interested in those areas? Are there programs that are more HNS heavy which might be better suited for me, and if so, how can I find these programs? Luckily from what I understand, HNS fellowships aren't the most competitive, but I'd still appreciate some advice on going ENT with the sole intent of doing a HNS fellowship.
