I'm planning to couples match with my girlfriend who is a year behind me in medical school. Which is a better option if I'm try to shoot for an ENT residency:
Option 1: MD/MBA--I'm currently enrolled in this dual degree but am having second thoughts (I already have an undergraduate finance degree from a top 10 program). This program would cost a fairly significant amount but there were 3 MD/MBAs from our school that matched into ENT this cycle. What say you, SDN?
Option 2: Research year--I think clinical research focused in ENT would be awesome but I'm slightly unsure about how to go about this and make it a productive year. From what I understand, "research" years can be a double-edged sword in medical school--I'd really need formal mentor that could help me turn out a significant project and/or paper(s).
Option 3: MD/MPH--not really keen on this idea but the public health school nearby is apparently one of the best.
Any input is much appreciated.
