I was just curious what others experiences have been with oto residents workload. I mean it has the reputation of being a cushier specialty, yet the residents at my school work pretty hard. Residency is hard....i know i know, but I would say oto works harder than any non-surg specialty and harder than other specialties such as OB. I know it varies school to school and probably by region, but at my school they get their at 6 and usually stay until at least 6. Take call from home which means they could potentially be there all night and then all day the next, I guess most of it is because of head and neck, but I donno the whole atmosphere seems somewhat high stress to me. Of course you can't really talk about this with residents so I thought I'd ask people on this forum.
