Most ENTs anticipate their income will return to pre-pandemic levels either in the next year or next two to three years, according to the Medscape Otolaryngologist Compensation Report 2021, released May 14.
A smaller percentage of ENTs say they will never recover their pre-pandemic income.
Here's a breakdown of when ENTs think they will hit pre-pandemic income levels:
1. In the next year: 49 percent
2. In two to three years: 34 percent
3. In the next four to five years: 7 percent
4. Never hit pre-COVID-19 income: 10 percent
