My husband is a first-year med student - after a rough first semester for us (academically he is doing great - me, I'm still adjusting to this new lifestyle!), we're settling into second semester. He's keeping an open mind on selecting a specialty, since he knows that when he gets to rotations it'll expose him to so many new things, who knows where he'll end up for residency. He knows right now there's a few he is really not interested in (like Gyn, anesthesiology). And, he is really really into surgery (he did quite a bit in research labs before med school). But we're wary of the surgery lifestyle, especially since we want to start a family soon. Plus with surgery, he'll be in school/training/residency forever (we're already in our late-20s).
Through his anatomy coursework, he is thinking seriously right now about ENT. I don't know much about the pros and cons of this specialty. Can anyone enlighten me? I'm especially curious about: how competitive it is to get an ENT residency, what the lifestyle is like for ENT docs, etc etc.
Thanks in advance for any info!
