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. Even though ENTs specialize in their field, they are educated, trained and equipped to handle other medical concerns, including life-threatening emergencies.
