Education: To become an ENT doctor, you will begin by pursuing the traditional route to and through medical school.  Score well on the MCAT and earn a high undergraduate GPA, especially in the core science courses of biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry, and physics.

I would not like to be an ENT doctor because I would not like to be around people that are sick. Also, I wouldn’t only have to take care of myself but also my patients. So, I believe I would not  be a good ENT doctor.
