Hi all,
So I plan on doing Neurotology, however I have minimal to no interest in doing research long term. I would need to gear up for application season next year. What is the long-term career outlook of doing a 1 year non-accredited fellowship vs doing a full 2 year ACGME accredited one? Kinda hesitant to 1. Risk the highly competitive neurotology match and 2. Give up a whole additional year if the main difference is just reputation/academics. Whats the general consensus on the 1 year fellowships? Obviously my otology mentors are telling me to do the 2 years, but I fee like there is some bias there.
