Hey all,
Current ENT intern here and I just wanted to get everyone's two cents about something.
Obviously Ive been spending most of my time so far on general surgery services. I was just wondering how much everyone felt that this helped when they got to the ENT portion of residency.
I feel like its helped with some things (ex. pain management, fever workups etc) but generally speaking its been pretty specific to general surg issues, and not stuff super applicable to ENT - ex advancing diets in post bariatric patients.
Is this how most of you felt, or in hindsight was it all pretty helpful? I see our intern year in comparison to the ortho residents who only take 6 months of off service rotations, then go straight into ortho and I cant help but think thats how it should be for us.
Thoughts?
