Education: ENT physician is a four-year college degree. While many students complete pre-med programs, it is not required. Regardless of your major, medical schools will want to see a strong college record in math and science, particularly in biology and chemistry. That, and your score on the Medical College Admission Test, will matter more to them than whether your diploma says Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science.
