Would working for an ENT in a hospital be considered med surge??

Either med-surg or surgical...

I think it would be more like working for a physician's office. You aren't getting the mix of patients that you see on a med-surg floor. What would your job description be?

With the limited info offered, I'd say it was a surgical specialty, no med. You are not likely to treat medical conditions as a primary.

If you're working in their office, that would be office/clinic work. Med-surg generally refers to working on the particular units of the hospital that take care of medical and/or surgical patients. Sometimes the medical and surgical patients are lumped together on one or several units (med-surg), sometimes they are divided by surgical floors (surg), or medical floors (med). Good luck.

Well I don't really know what my job description would be. I work with a girl now who worked for the Dr. and said he's great and wanted to her to let him know when I was graduating. I was just wondering bc it's a possibility. Just curious :) Thanks everyone for the info!

Not really, it's way too narrow, sure you'll know a lot of ENT stuff, but you won't get what you get in med/surg.
