What should residency/fellowship program directors and residents making career choices know about recent trends regarding otolaryngology-head and neck surgery residents?
Background: Otolaryngology, which over the years has evolved into a complex regional surgical subspecialty, remains one of the most highly sought after specialties among medical students. No recent studies have investigated specific fellowship preferences among residents, however, nor have the important trends in preference of an academic or private practice career path been researched.
Study design: Cross-sectional survey.
