I am a third-year surgical resident working at the Royal Melbourne ENT department. I have had the opportunity to develop my interest in ENT through pursuing a BMedSc (Honours) year with Monash ENT in 2022, involving research and publication regarding compressive symptomatology of thyroid disease. During this time, I was fortunate enough to gain further experience through working as a receptionist at the Melbourne Voice Analysis Centre. In addition to a keen interest in general ENT, my time working at the RMH ENT unit has provided exposure to H&N trauma and the vital role otolaryngologists play in its clinical management.
