Hey guys,
It's moola. One thing i was really concerned about is being shunned for having "alternative plans" as an ENT resident. I am hoping to go for a general plastics fellowship and do either craniofacial or head/neck fellowship afterwards. Is this something that should be concealed from our Chair/PD until the time of application comes up? Have residents ever gotten shafted for being different in this sense? I am planning on doing research in craniofacial/plastics and head/neck surg as a resident. I dont wanna draw fire but at the same time i hate being devious. I wanna tell the ENT dept of my plans so i can move on.
My question is, what sort of reaction should I expect. Have there been any residents at your institution who have done a non-ENT fellowship (cosmetics or general plastics) and succeeded? How should I approach this? Guys, I have gotten fire for this in the past so please be nice. I just think that general surgeon trained plastic surgeons have no more business in craniofacial surgery than us good ENT folks.
Please gimme your thoughts.
