How do I become an Anesthesiologist?
A person who wants to become an anesthesiologist will spend many years in training for this field. Anesthesiologists are medical doctors who have completed several more years of specialty training beyond medical school. The field is one in which there exists high demand for precision and competency, and it offers doctors the opportunity to work with many different types of patients. Anyone who would like to become an anesthesiologist first begins by graduating from high school, and applying in senior year to colleges. Grades should be good, to have the most opportunities to attend college, and people should especially focus on studies in math and science. These are of particular importance in preparing for training in medicine. In some countries, like in the UK, students complete medical school with college. In the US, a student who wants to become an anesthesiologist will need to get a four-year college degree before going to medical school. Typical majors that are appropriate include
I am in medical school right now to become an Anesthesiologist! I changed my career from an OB/GYN to an Anesthesiologist I have a long way to go but basically I have an BA in Chemistry from Michigan State University. I had to take a medical exam (MCAT) to get where I am now and it was hard, I won’t even lie to you. Once you get here the hard work doesn’t stop either so get ready. After I graduate from here with my medical degree, I have to do an anesthesiology residency, which takes about 2-4 years training. I am 23 now and I’ll be an trained Anesthesiologist by the time I’m 29 =) It is so worth it though..good luck, if you need help or have questions.
