Ear, Nose
and Throat
(ENT)
Specialist
Duties and Responsibilities: Your
responsibilities depend on whether you work in a private practice, in a
hospital, or in a larger medical organization. You’ll examine and
diagnose patients of all ages, but expect that pediatric care will be your
primary job, as most patients with ENT issues are children and teens. Typical
problems you’ll encounter as an ENT include ear infections, sinus infection, tonsillitis,
and cochlear issues. Expect to perform up to 250 surgeries annually,
including the removal of tumors, reconstructive surgery, and tonsillectomies.
Salary: $286,171-$391,893
Education: To become an ENT doctor, you will begin by pursuing the
traditional route to and through 4 years of medical school. Score well on the
MCAT and earn a high undergraduate GPA, especially in the core science courses
of biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry, and physics. Obtain clinical
experiences that allow you to shadow an ENT doctor so that you will begin to
understand the realities of the profession.
Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why?
Why not?
No I would not like to be one because it doesn’t interest me
even though it seems like a good career. Also I have another career in mind
already.
