[Statistics on allergology and environmental medicine in the ENT specialty in Germany].
Environmental medicine and allergy were found to be important in the daily ENT practice after statistical analysis and an inquiry among all ENT doctors in Germany. 64% of ENT colleagues do practice allergy, 20% environmental medicine. With reference to all registered ENT doctors 24% are titled allergists, 4% specialists in environmental medicine. Focussing on the teaching there is a big difference between both groups. Whereas training facilities for allergists are reasonable, there are only a few chief instructors for environmental medicine in the ENT society. This fact has to be considered on educational plannings in future.
