What is a pediatric anesthesiologist?
A pediatric anesthesiologist is a doctor who specializes in taking care of children during surgery and other procedures. Most anesthesiologists will go to college for four years, medical school for four years, and then do an internship and residency for four years. Pediatric anesthesiologists have a special interest in the care of children and may have also done a pediatrics residency and/or additional pediatric anesthesiology fellowship training. All of the pediatric anesthesiologists at Hasbro Children’s Hospital have some additional training or experience taking care of children.
