I've posted before about some of my subspecialty interests; now, I have been accepted to a medical school and will begin the next chapter of the journey. For personal reasons, I really want to become a liver transplant surgeon (maybe some pancreatic or kidney also, though main focus is liver). I've looked into the top general surgery residencies/institutions for going into transplant fellowship, but I want to know how difficult it is to compete at the high levels with residents who may have been to better institutions for their training.
I realize I still have a while before this is a reality, but I want to put the goal in my mind and keep it front and center to focus me for doing well in my coursework and USMLE prep.
Thank you in advance.
