HOW I PICKED MY SURGICAL SPECIALTY (ENT)

This week I break down how I landed on ENT (otolaryngology) as my specialty choice. I went back and forth a lot thinking about other specialties like Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, and Psychiatry. Picking your specialty can be a tough task especially if you are interested in a lot of different things, so I hope this can be a helpful framework of things to consider as you pick yours!

Excellent video. Incredibly useful as med student currently deciding between what specialties may suit you. This should be a lecture at med school that everyone receives. Bravo 👏

I’m happy I found your channel! I’m an incoming M1 at the UMN med school. I’m also very interested in ENT! Thanks for the content

[@nidanursinanoglu4673]

Hi Richard! Could you please make a video about your resume or how you prepared your application for ENT

[@acd1168]

Thanks for taking us through your thought process on picking your specialty.
Would you be willing to share your personal statement “why medicine” that you used in your AMCAS?

[@doctor-rich]

I’ll make a video at some point talking about how to craft excellent personal statements - key is to make them uniquely your own while addressing a few key components: (1) vision: why medicine, (2) experience: why you are a good fit, (3) institution: why this school

@@doctor-rich Great! Thank you

[@ethannguyen3974]

great video! could you talk about some of things you did that helped you match into ent? i’m also semi interested and don’t know where to start 😅

[@doctor-rich]

I didn’t even really know about it until 3rd year! Do a rotation, reach out to faculty to start forming mentoring relationships and research projects. Those two things are foundational
