Resident here - PGY2 in July. I think I scratched off academics and plan to pursue private practice-- I really want the autonomy of private practice and while I enjoy teaching, research or rising the ranks in an institution is just not my passion.
I would like to go back to my home region in the Rocky Mountain Northwest (think Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Colorado). Would love to operate and then have the time/luxury of fly fish/hike on my off time.
Very open to different sizes of city: The locations range from metro cities anywhere from 500k-1 million+ . Otherwise, there are are nice, rural locations like Sun Valley Idaho and Bend Oregon I would dream to practice in (populations 20,000+).
What can I be doing as a junior resident to optimize my chance of securing a job by graduation?
What is the best way to 'keep on the radar' for a practice looking to expand or a retiring ENT looking to be replaced?
How can I promote myself in a professional way?
Thank you in advance.
