Head Neck Fellowships after Plastics/Gen Surg?

Hi all, I'm interested in head/neck surgery and currently in plastic surgery fellowship. I also previously completed general surgery residency. It seems peripherally that the AHNS fellowships will accept applications from those with plastics/general surgery background, does anyone know if realistically these programs are still accepting applicants coming from non-ENT residencies?

Probably not too many I’m afraid. Since head and neck isn’t an acgme accredited fellowship, fellows tend to be hired as attendings and cover a lot of ent call in addition to their head and neck coverage.
