Why I DIDN’T… Otorhinolaryngology (ENT)

Показать описание

Otorhinolaryngology, otherwise known as ENT, is an awesome specialty. There's a good variety of procedures, the lifestyle is generally pretty good (at least for a surgical specialty), and the anatomy is quite complex and fascinating. That being said, it wasn't for me. Here’s what I liked about ENT, what I didn't like, and why I ultimately chose not to specialize in it.

Got accepted. I can’t say enough about how much your channels have impacted me. Thanks for everything.

ENT Resident From Germany here. Great video, the best thing within Otolaryngology is that you can tailor your practice as u want, or u can be a master and do everything ❤

Love your videos and I think you’re pretty spot on! ENT PGY4 here. I do think that there is a TON of variety within ENT, as sinus surgery, mastoid surgery, laryngeal surgery and soft tissue head and neck surgery are all drastically different in how they feel. You’re right that they’re all above the clavicle, but they feel like completely different worlds to me. Just depends on the kind of variety you want. Anyway, keep on killin it! Thanks for sharing your thorough and thoughtful takes on medical specialties!

The observations about the personalities of ENTs are spot on. My ENT is the friendliest physician I’ve ever seen. He makes me feel safe and as though he has my best interests at heart as opposed to practicing medicine and surgery for the money.

Liking that the content stays relevant to me from former premed to current ms1. Keep up the fun videos, Kevin!

0:20 I don't think the series is useless at all, I think it gives invaluable insights to people in med school about different factors to consider associated with each specialty. You might be experiencing an Icarus Complex rn, in which allegations that you're too self absorbed have pushed you to intentionally make depreciating comments in order to avoid flying too close to the sun ☀️

I love how ENTs are almost universally nice guys as this was the case at my hospital. Both were lovely guys, one had amazing taste in heavy metal music for the OR.

I feel like the salary portions vary on where you search. Here Dr Kevin is saying they are top 4 to 5, while places like Doximity has it at 12 under urology, radiology etc. but the year before Doximity had it at 11, over radiology.

Other sources do put ent at 4, but I’ve also noticed that some lists don’t even mention things like CT surgeons or Neurosurgeons.

I feel like other than your typical CT, Plastic, Ortho, and Neurosurgery, the list based on relativity to other specialties isn’t as fine cut as it seems. Of course one can get a general feeling

To put it in picture for you all: Weatherby Healthcare has ENT for 2022 as 4th at 469k - but that don’t even mention neuro or ct surgeries in their report. On the other hand, Doximity for 2022 - according to Fierce Healthcare - has ENT at 12 at 472k. They have Radio at 10th with 485k. While the report that listed ENT at 4th has radio at 9th making 437k.

(Edit) to add, Stanford’s own Roadmap to choosing a Medical Specialty pdf has Radio making more than Plastics and ENT per median values.

In short, ENT is gonna make you money no matter what but I wouldn’t bank on lists 100% to tell you the exact placements of each specialty and maybe even your exact salary.

Would love to see a future "Why I Didn't" about OB-GYN.

I am currently a 3rd year med student at Penn and I am strongly considering Otorhinolaryngology and Reconstructive Plastic Surgery, and I would love an episode of the career battles on the med school insiders channel between those two.

Thank you so much Dr Jubbal! You’ve helped me so much with deciding which specialty is right for me! Thank you for me being my main inspiration and motivation for medicine!
