Suggested reading/pocket contents |
ENT secrets ENT Secrets: okay if you like question and answer style books The ENT library has lots of good texts: Bailey's is the most used, but Cummings is probably the best. Check out a good ENT Surgical Anatomy book-it's critical to learn as much of head and neck anatomy as possible. |

Structure of rotation |
Team-based One-on-one with attendings/residents |
|
Amt/quality of time residents/attendings |
The attending are awesome at teaching and explaining what is going on The Residents were all great to work with. They were very welcoming and helped to teach the basics. I felt very comfortable asking simple to more complex questions. The attendings were a bit more distant and I had to go more out of my way to ask questions and get involved. There is one that can be a bit intimidating/malignant, but, if you read up before cases, ask intelligent questions, and work hard, you can do well. |

Typical day |
You don't take overnight call or work weekends, but I worked 13-15 hours everday. 5am pre-round, 5:30 or 6am round with residents, go to OR 7-5 (or later dep on day), 5 or 6 pm get patients into SICU, round again with attending, flip the list with residents, usually out between seven and eight pm. You then need to read for the next day because you do get asked pimp questions. Morning rounds at about 6am followed by breakfast/run the list with the team. To the OR almost everyday with one attending and resident. If done with the OR early, usually round with an attendingn afterwards. Occasionally, there was a light day, and one of the residents would give a talk. We were released anywhere from 4pm to 6pm. |

Useful for other specialties |
Surgery, neurosurgery This was a very 'otolaryngology-centric' rotation. It might be helpful for those going into surgery, but it is really geared toward those interested in ENT. |

Other comments |
The days are really long and it was hard work, so i wouldn't recommend it to people who aren't really interested in the feild. But the residents and attendings are GREAT at including students, teaching, and making sure you are involved in surgeries I would have like to have done more clinic. I also would have liked to have had more time to read during the day when there was a case I had seen many times. This is a great rotation to do as your 1st ENT rotation and get a good basic knowledge to take to other aways. |
