what are the main duties in an ENT office?

Hi All,
What can I expect to be doing in an ENT office? Pretty sure strep test, ear irrigation and vitals but what else ? Thanks

Re: what are the main duties in an ENT office?

Assisting with cerumen impactions- they use suction in the ENT office, usually not flushes, lesion removals on the head and neck, sinus washes, assist with temporary tympanostomies, pre and post op teaching, rooming patients, disinfecting and sterilizing instruments, phoning in prescriptions. Hope that helps! My first job out of MA school was for an ENT.

Re: what are the main duties in an ENT office?

wow...thanks sounds great..I really wanted to learn alot of clinicals I didn't learn in school. I'm embarrassed to say veinpunctures aren't my strong point; so I'm kinda glad I won't have to tackle them right now. I actually ordered a kit to help me practice. Thanks so much for replying
