So You Want to Be an ANESTHESIOLOGIST #SHORTS

So you want to be an anesthesiologist. Anesthesiology is the specialty of medicine concerned with taking care of patients before, during, and after surgery. Think of them as the “guardian angel” that makes sure patients get through surgery safely. To become an anesthesiologist, you must complete 4 years of anesthesia residency after medical school. This consists of a standard intern year where you rotate through a variety of specialties and 3 years of dedicated anesthesiology training.

In terms of competitiveness, anesthesiology is ranked #14 on the 2022 Med School Insiders Competitiveness Index and is situated between internal medicine and child neurology.

The average anesthesiologist earns $405,000/year and works 40-50 hours per week.

Being one of the ROAD specialties, anesthesiology is known for having a great lifestyle, meaning high compensation and great work-life balance. There is no clinic as an anesthesiologist and when you’re off, you’re completely off.

On the other hand, anesthesiology can also be incredibly stressful. Things can and will go wrong during surgery, and the patient’s life will be in your hands. Encroachment from CRNAs is also a growing concern.

That being said, if you enjoy the OR but also prioritize work-life balance, anesthesiology may be a good fit.
