Do you see yourself practicing in a specialty that involves cutting edge technology (think along the lines of robotics), with surgical and medical opportunities? Does a diverse patient population (infants, the elderly, opera singers, farmers etc..) appeal to you? Does the anatomy of the head and neck spike your interest? Host Andrew Pauls sits down with Dr. Françoise Chagnon, FRCSC and Dr. Ciarán Lane, PGY-5, to understand their passion and unwavering commitment to this broad specialty called Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery. Not only do our guests share their experience and expertise, but they also impart some words of encouragement to medical students as they navigate their health care journey.
