Bio for Dr. Bradley Block:
I am an otolaryngologist-head and neck surgeon, AKA, ENT, in the largest ENT practice in the country and separate and distinct from this, also have a podcast dedicated to teaching physicians "everything we should have been learning while we were memorizing Kreb's Cycle."
Reason Dr. Bradley Block pursued ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat), Specialist:
It is one of the few specialties where you can treat newborns through geriatrics and the range for disease process and interventions vary as widely as the age range.
Education:
College - University of Pennsylvania
Medical School - SUNY Buffalo
Residency - Georgetown
Typical Day in the life of an ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat) Specialist:
I see patients 4 days a week, operate 1-2 half days and sometimes have a little administrative time for my responsibilities within the group.
Residency training:
5 years. One year of general surgery (although this is now owned by the ENT program) followed by 4 years of ENT. It was intense. Every year had its own challenges, but the second year (first year of ENT) was probably the most rigorous.
What type of advice do you give to those aspiring to be an ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat), Specialist:
Study, do research, you have no idea what you are getting yourself into - the field varies so widely between our subspecialties and private practice vs. academics, that an isolated experience on one rotation gives you such a narrow exposure that your life after residency will likely be very very different
