I know this question has been brought up multiple times so I apologize. I am a M2 with 2 (possibly 3) ENT-related publications. When I tell people I am interested in ENT many people often say, "Yea I have heard of that. I also heard that was a competitive residency to get in to". I wanted to get your opinion on why the field of ENT is so competitive.
It doesn't have that wow factor of telling someone your are an Orthopedic or Neurosurgeon (not to mention the salary). It doesn't have the lifestyle of the ROAD Specialties. So I ask, Why is ENT considered such a competitive field and why does it draw many strong candidates to apply for a career in the field? Thanks for your help.
