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.

Education: Board certification is valid for 10 years. To revalidate their certification, ENTs must meet guidelines established by the American Board of Medical Specialties and complete a Maintenance of Certification Program.

Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?

No, I would not like to be one because this is not my type of interest. This is a good job for anyone into this, but not me. This job gives you good pay and these type of jobs are one out of many important ones for people.
