Why is it super competitive? Can some one list the pros and cons and the future of this field.

But it really comes down to the money.
The largest chunk of what we do is not elective.
Hi!
I am a trauma resident and tired of emergency operations. I want to switch to ENT not only because its more elective.
But my biggest concerns is about the training. It is a very difficult anatomic area to learn to operate
Are my concerns legitimate?
I think that's what appeals to the majority of ENT residents. Personally, I think if you're not completely baffled by how the hell you do a neck dissection before your R3 year, something is wrong. Also, I don't think you'll find harder anatomy to learn and conceptualize than the skull base and temporal bone. But that's the fun part of it all.
The biggest difference from what you're doing is that other than cancer whacks, you're doing small hole surgery in complex 3-D anatomy. It's the BEST!
