Ear, Nose and Throat Surgeon

Duties and Responsibilities:
They study the ear, nose and throat and their conditions/illnesses. They may also be refereed to Otolaryngology-Head surgeon. It is the oldest medical specialty in the United States, where nearly 50% of all office visits pertain to the ear, nose and, throat. Their nicknames are ENT's and they often treat ear infections on children, who may need surgery.

Salary: $327,517

Education:
They must complete at least 5 years of surgical residency training. This is also composed of 1 year of general surgery, or 4 years of Otalaryngology. In Canada they must complete a 5 year residency training program after medical school. Students should emphasize science and English classes the most.

Do you think you would like to be one?
No I would not like to be one, I want to be a more specialize surgeon, not just a ear, nose, and throat surgeon. I also want to make more money than this, I feel like it is worth it to be stuck in school a little more so you can be better.
