Ear, Nose Throat
(ENT) Surgeon
Otolaryngology is the oldest medical specialty in the United
States. Otolaryngologists are physicians trained in the medical and surgical
management and treatment of patients with diseases and disorders of the ear, nose,
throat (ENT), and related structures of the head and neck. They are commonly
referred to as ENT physicians.
Salary: There average salary is about $300,000-$400,000
Education: Ear, nose and throat doctors, often called ENTs,
need a medical degree and a license to practice in their state. ENTs study ear,
nose and throat conditions, referred to as otolaryngology, and make diagnoses,
prescribe treatments and perform surgeries related to the head, neck, face and
throat. During their residency at a hospital or medical facility, medical
school students train and have hands-on experience with patients under the
direct supervision of licensed doctors.
Reflection: I would like to be a Otolaryngology because they
earn so much money.
