Ear, nose, and throat (ENT) doctor
Duties and
responsibilities:
ENT Doctors
are responsible for surgical and medical treatment of the ears, nose, and
throat, as well as the related head and neck areas. Specialized skills of
otolaryngologists include managing disorders of the upper pharynx and oral
cavity, larynx (voice box), ears, nose and nasal passage, and face and neck.
Almost all ENT specialists regularly handle cases like nosebleeds,
adenoidectomies, infected mastoids, tonsillectomies, and sinusitis.
Salary:
$331,910
Education:
At least
five years of training in a surgical residency. This comprises a one-year
course in general surgery and a four-year course in otolaryngology. Most start
their medical education with a Bachelor of Science degree, but those with a Bachelor
of Arts degree are also accepted into some medical school programs.
Reflection:
I wouldn’t
like to be an ear, nose, and throat doctor for it does not interest me. Although
there may be certain people who find such career interesting I don’t.
