ENT or Plastics????

[booswim542]

Hey all -
There have not been any recent threads regarding this decision, and I wanted some fresh thoughts. I rotated through plastics at my program during 3rd year and LOVED it. It changed my mind from medicine to surgery. I wasn't sure how I felt about the cosmetic side of things, so looked into ENT. I liked ENT and chose to apply in that instead, because I do like some of the critical care airway stuff too.

However, I am now back on plastics and I realized how much I like it and now I'm torn. My goal in the end is to do craniofacial reconstruction stuff - hopefully peds. ENT or plastics as a path to get there?

Someone help!!!

So you "LOVED" plastics and "liked" ENT. Seems like an easy choice to me.

Most people who are craniofacial surgeons go via the plastics route.

Agreed with above, sounds like plastics may be a better fit for you.
