I am an ENT resident with a family. However, I realize this field is not for me and my interests and personality lie elsewhere.
Has anyone made the switch from a competitive surgical specialty? My concern is the impact this may have on my wife and our kids.
My interest lies in dermatology. I have publications in this field and looked at both ENT and Derm as a med student. Dermatology is the most competitive specialty in medicine though. I am hoping there is someone that has been through this process. It is late in the year and I am trying to find research fellowships. It is quite scary to leave a guaranteed specialty for nothing though.
Any attendings out there that have been through this process or willing to help? I am all ears.... (no pun intended)
