Anesthesiologist Job Description, Career as an Anesthesiologist, Salary, Employment - Definition and Nature of the Work, Education and Training Requirements, Getting the Job

I am an anesthesiologist. I love what I do. That's key. If you don't LOVE anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, sick and diseased people... then don't do it. Working as a physician is incredibly time-consuming. Many (most)of my colleagues have undergone at least 1 divorce. Practicing medicine is fun and interesting. The part that's not fun is dealing with payment issues from insurance companies, patients threatening you with lawsuit (oh yes.. you will get sued sooner or later), hospital administration regulating how you practice, the injustices of being a junior partner, not getting paid for work you do, getting paid a pittance for what you do, getting paid nothing for your services and then having a patient try to sue you! I finished my training many years ago with 82K in student loan debt. With interest, I've paid at least tripple that. Your debt will be far greater. Hours and hours of study, exams, deferred gratification and deferred family life. If your in it for the money, your motives are all wrong. There are much easier and faster ways to make money. You've got to love medicine and be willing to take the crap that comes with it. Talk to a doc you know about the downside of being a doctor. I love what I do and I'm staying put, but it wasn't/isn't all fun and games and glory.

This was great information. I am planning on being an anesthesiologist when i get older. This information helped me know what i am going to be doing in the future.

My dad is paralyzed from the chest from the chest down and he was very sick for 8 months and went from hospital to hospital. With out medicine and doctors/nurses/anesthesiologist, etc. My dad would not be here. This is why I am so interested in this field. I'm very motivated and independent, and very interested in mathematic, biology, chemistry, anatomy and etc.. This information was very helpful and I'm looking for to college!

i am also in 9th grade and i have a relative that is kinda a n anesthesiologist and i am interested in becoming one if anyone has any ideas as to classes i should take in high school shoot me an email jghickeyii@gmail.com or just some tips

Anesthesiology is something I have been wanting to pursue since my elementary school days. I'm in 10th grade now, and I am still interested in studying anesthesiology and going into medical school. I am willing to take all of the crap that comes with it too, only because when I put my mind to something, regardless of how long it will take, I know I can accomplish it. I currently volunteer at my local hospital, and so watching doctors and nurses firsthand have only convinced me more-so that I really want to pursue this profession.

im in the 9th grade this is helping me so much to know more about what i want to be when i grow up i like this job because when i was getting surgery i thought it looked fun to be in the operating room. so thanks so much for this much information.

Im 26 years old and a married mother of three. Im seriously thing about becoming an anesthesiologist. I want to give my children a better life and I know it takes alot of years and hardwork but, despite the naysayers I will pursue this career.

Im a junior in high school & i was wondering should i be taking ap physics for a career like this does it matter? Please let me know. So i can change my class.

Im only going in to grade 9 and i am trying to find out what kind of jobs are right for me. i came across this degree and i have a good feeling about this profession. Im willing to give up long hours and hard work to become such. Ive always dreamed about becoming a doctor of some sort one day. Im very interested in this job option and will research it and hopefully one day become it. Thanks for the help with the information from this site. (:

I am an anesthesiologist who finished residency in 2005. I have noticed alot of questions about what classes people should take to prepare for it. Its important to understand that there really aren't any specific classes you will encounter in HS or even college that will prepare you. The basic requirements for med school are physics 1&2, bio 1&2, gen chem 1&2, organic chem 1&2, calculus, and I think an english course - as well as the dreaded MCAT. I can promise you that any information learned in a college level course will be glazed over in the first two weeks of that same course in med school (pharmacology for example). The point is that you shouldn't stress about what will prepare you the best. Being organized and motivated with good study habits is what prepares you best - med schools wil prepare you...that's why it takes 8 years after college to become an anesthesiologist. Also, as far as having extracurricular activities is concerned, it is FAR better to have volunteer work at a food kitchen or homeless center rather than a hospital. Anyone can wheel patients around a hospital as a transporter, but that doesn't give you a special edge over another candidate. A Med School admissions committee will look much more favorable upon someone who VOLUNTEERED at a center for disadvantaged people or abused children that someone who took a job at a hospital ER answering phones - it demonstrates compassion and empathy...med school prepares you with how to deal with patients and their problems. Someone who says they have experience dealing with sick people because they volunteered at a hospital is like saying Brett Favre's wife is prepared to be an NFL quarterback because she's been around her husband for years. Trust me...med schools don't really care if you worked in a hospital. As far as anyone going to med school to be an anesthesiologist just for the money...those people drop out after their first year because it really is hard to deal with all the BS of becoming a doctor just for the money. But it is an extraordinarily rewarding profession...good luck to all.

hey, my name is kris i am a sophomore at catalina magnet high school in tucson arizona. i grew up in the streets and i am expected to become a failure. my life has not been fun. i have watched friends die and be arrested. but i have convinced myself that i can overcome any obstacle and become an anesthesiologist. it will take hard work and commitment. i am willing to put my time in it. i am not only trying to prove myself that i can become something better to help the world but also to those who doubt themselves. i will prove to people who beleive "gansters" or people who come from the street are useless. i beleive i will prove them wrong. please pray and beleive i can accomplish this dream of mine. god bless you and good luck with your adventure to complete your goal.

i <3 this site!!! :) its tha bomb!!!

I want to be a doctor:)!!!!!!

Seriously after scrolling through all of this made me dizzy. I'm still in High School and a Junior and i'm not asking what I should do like the other idiots here. I recommend alot of the teenagers on here, first pay more attention to your english classes and second TAKE an anatomy class. It will help you a bit when the real stuff comes. You learn about the bones, muscles, their functions and so much more. And if you have a problem with blood, then you probably shouldn't get into that field, as an anesthesiologist you HAVE to be in the Operating Room, and in surgery guess what they do? they cut people up hahah, so you're going to deal with blood either way. I love this job and everything, but the dedication makes me think twice. I suffered from a bad heart murmur that required countless of trips to the Cardiologist, the ER and two surgeries. After I saw firsthand what the health officials do, it really made me admire the job even more. I don't have the best of grades, (I mean I don't consider my 3.8 GPA that great when I have friends that have over 4.5's) But in all honesty if you want to do this, like you have a REAL PASSION FOR IT, you are already in the first steps of hard determination. I mean I have classmates in my AP classes that I would dieee to switch grade records with and you know what, alot of them don't want to get into a field like this. Some of the many want to be an Artist, and another Chef, and here i'am wanting to be in an OR watching firsthand how the heart looks like when it's beating. I know no matter what I will end up somewhere in Medicine, because I love it. Maybe even a nurse that makes 1/3 of Anesthesiologists, because I love this.

This one is to Janee... Hun, if the only reason you want to be a doctor is because your mom wants you to become one then run for the hills. One thing that many people don't comment on is that you must have a love for learning. After you complete college, medical school and your residency, you will constantly have to learn new techniques. I also don't understand where you got it into your head that becoming an obstetrician is less work. Obstetricians go through the exact same amount of schooling so either pick a career as maybe Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner or shoot, maybe even a CNA if you aren't prepared to spend numerous years in school. Becoming a doctor has to come out of hard work and passion which can't come from your mother living through you.

Become an anesthesiologist is a passion it is not just b.c girls like us watch those show it is b.c we love to help ppl and i think that no guys should say anything there just mad b.c females r smartier then males. :)

Watching Grey's Anatomy has inspired me to do this job. Also, my friend's father is an anesthesiologist and he loves his job. I really want to become one. I'm in 9th grade and I am a 4.0 student, so hopefully I can keep up my grades and get a scholarship to college and med school, to become an anesthesiologist. I understand there are long hours. But I am going to work SO hard for this.

i think this is sooo pathetic that as soon as people see all anesthesiologist have to do is give needles (which is false)or see the salary they become infactuated with the idea of becoming a doctor. im sure we all want to take care of our family financially but really are you ready for college first? im going into my senior yr at an ivy league university and medical school admissions are so competitive that sometimes having a 4.0 and community service doesnt guarantee that youll get in. also, science and math in high school is TOTALLY different than college, you also have to take other courses that you might not be good at just to make you well rounded i.e psychological quantative methods or organizationl leadership. not to push anyone away from their dream because now we see that w/e background you come from you can do anything possible! but first do an internship with a doctor before you say "i just love this field and want to be this type doctor"because you wont say that when you find out that anesthesiologist get sued the most and have alot of malpractice. researching something is soo different from actually experiencing it. dissociate yourself from the what the world wants and do what you really want!

Just a note to all the people wanting to become doctors:



I'm a med student and probably not for much longer. I wanted to become the best; you know, have the most honorable profession, a great paycheck, etc, etc. I was the best at everything and got into a VERY competitive 6 year med program straight from highschool.



But even though I thought I wanted to be a doctor so badly, to help people, etc, it wasn't enough. I keep up fine in grades but I learned quickly college courses are nothing like highschool courses. Unless you absolutely LOVE chemistry, biology, and physics in highschool you will have a very hard time with the courses in college. I did fine in those courses in highschool and thought pharmacology and organic chemistry couldn't be that different. I was wrong.



You need to do what you truely love, otherwise you are going to find it very hard to go through the rest of your life as a doctor.



Highschool classes are pretty irrelevant. In college you need Bio 1 and 2, but usually also cell bio and biochem. You need chem 1 and 2 and organic 1 and 2. A few physics and calc classes. Beyond that, unless you get into a program like mine, you also need to take the MCAT.



I would recommend for those wanting this career: Do NOT go through nurse's training first. Waste of time. It's probably not the best thing to go to a community college for ungrad either. You'll have a tough time getting into med school.



In the end, you really have no idea what you're getting your self into until you get there, so if you think you want to be an anesthesiologist, or any other medical professional, go for in. But make sure your heart is in the right place.

thanx 4 the info..i really want 2 go into this field!ill be a junior in august so i need 2 find some stuff out

This information was very helpful I enjoyed reading it and I thought it was good direct information. It was short sweet and to the point.

I created a resource dedicated to topics "How to become an anesthesiologist." Salary, job description, education steps etc. I would like to hear feedback about the site. Maybe somewhere inaccuracies, maybe I must add some more information. Waiting for your reviews:)
http://howtobecomeananesthesiologist.com/

Anesthesiology is a massive commitment. I work from 6:30 AM to 6 PM five days a week, *minimum*. During that time, I need to be close enough to be in any operating room within one minute - so I can't ever leave for lunch, or go run errands.

You will be poor when your friends are rich. You will earn, at 26 (that's graduation from med school), the same amount of money that your friends who took regular jobs earned at 22 (graduating college), except that they will work 40 hrs a week and you will do 70-80. Do not become a physician for money; go be a dentist - they get paid cash by their patients. (And average dentists earn more than a lot of physicians do.)

Still, I love what I do - I've seen a person have their heart stopped and the heart-lung machine turned off, then brought them back. That's cool in a way that most people will never comprehend.

I loved this website it really helped me for a paper i'm doing in high school and this is also a career i'm looking into when i get older so it helped me realize what i'm going to have to do to get the job

I am currently in medical school and would like to offer all of those interested in pursuing a career in medicine some advice. This website is very helpful but it does not include some information that I think is very helpful. Medicine is very competitive and you must do very well in college to get into school (3.7 or greater GPS and you MUST do well on the MCAT). The MCAT is like that ACT or SAT for med school. This id just on average so you can get in with lower scores. My point is it takes a lot of work. I find it very interesting that most people just say they love medicine because they see the average salaries plastered all over the internet. I am currently over a

$100,000 in debt, and I maybe get 4-5 hours a sleep a night. I just got off of a surgery rotation where I pulled 100+ weeks. I think it is great that so many people want to go into medicine, but get some exposure first. When you actually get to do some medicine you will realize that a lot of the stuff that you deal evereyday is pretty gross and far from what is seen on Grey's anatomy. Next time you hear about how much doctors make you should think twice. It takes a lot of work.

I'm in 10th grade and just recently have I became interested in being and anesthesiologist. I would like to know what classes I should take to prepare to be this. thanks

Im in 10th grade and i am thinking of becoming an anesthesiologist. If anyone has any info on what classes would be best take in high school to prepare for this carrer boomer_sooner_fan6@yahoo.com thank you

This site was very useful. I'm in the 9th grade and wish to pursue a career as an anesthesiologist. I was wondering which kinds of classes I have to take in high school. Does your grade point average have to be very high or can it be lower? Is getting a job after a residency easy to find or will it take a while to find a job?
Could you also give me some more information on this career( pros and cons).

In my highschool we need to creat a career passport and one of the assigments is to interview a person in that field of work. i was wondering if there was an Anestheiologist willing to help.

i like eggs.

Hi my name is Jennifer i am in the eight grade and have been thinking about being a surgeon. I would like your input to help me decide between surgon and anesthesiologist thank you :)

I would like to be that i really into it can you send me info about what classes to take in high school at mccly_jehmar@yahoo.com thank you

hello!
which career i should pursue if i just want to earn some big bucks, a corporate law attorney or an anesthesiologist?

I just want to say, all the people who log into this page to LOOK at what it has to say about anesthesiology, let alone leave a comment about it, must have some kind of interest in the subject. Leaving stupid comments with words that are not even words or not spelled right just shows your lack of education. Your bitter words and discouragement to enter the medical field is obviously just because you unaccomplished in your own life with the payment and/or satisfaction with the career you have chosen, if you even have, OR you are not content with the money MY tax dollars are paying for you to get a check from the state. Do something productive with your time and stop trying to diminish other peoples motivation and desire to do something positive with themselves.

I want to become an anesthesiologist when I grow older. I'm currently in 9th grade and I would like to know what sort of classes I should take to prepare for this. So, email me, please. This site was great, it has so much information. Thanks

The information provided was very helpful. The emphasis on precision and vigor schedules leaves little time for fun activites. Time will pass you by anyways. If you are going to do something you might as well do it and be at the top - but the difference is actually doing it not justing telling the world youre going to do it. You have to do it. This is something I want to do. Its not going to be easy...but being a part of something that can help save peoples lives - what else could be better?

Thanks for the 411...i got an a on my project thanks too this website =)

Hi my name is Lavodia and I am also doing a research paper on this career. Is there anything that is not stated on web sites that i might want to include?
I am interested in this career path because of the money and the challenges. I am a high achiever and would love the input.
Thanks :)

i'm in the eighth grade doing a career thing and we take alot of tests i got this career back, i know it will take alot of years but it'll be worth it (:

I'm Victoria and I'm a freshman in high school. This is a very helpful sigh, especially due to everyones comments and different views. There might be some negative feedbacks, but hey, it's reality. I've been wanting to be an anesthesiologist since I did a project on anesthesia in 8th grade. This career might be very hard work, but life requires hard work if you want something.
Anyone who want to do this, go ahead. Don't let anybody tell you that you can't do it, because you can.
If you in high school, I really suggest you keep your grades to A's and that you have a good education record. That right there will help you big time.
God Bless all of you in your journey to the job that you want to do. Just make sure you get some pre-experience before you make any rational decision. (:

Hi im Shelby. Im currently in Middle School, and planning what occupation I want, and what college I'm headed to. Everyone see's that big dollar sign and wants to become one. It's going to have to take more than just a dollar sign, by working hard. I'm continuing to study anesthesiology, by researching ; starting early can't hurt. Can it? But something that will hurt is the twelve years of schooling / specializing. Better save up now, I'm guessing. This article helped me a lot, thanks. =]

Would u say that is is a good job to get into? i am only 14 years old and i would like to know the ups and downs of becoming an anesthesiologist, and to see if this career is a right choice for me

Im am in 9th grade and I am scared because I am no longer sure of what i want to be when i 'grow up!' Help!?! I would like to be a anesthesiologist or a radiologist or a prosecuting attorney! The family does not help me much they just say oh do what you want to we will be happy if you are. Any advice?

Hey there.

I'm 19 years old.

I've spent $15,000 on loans studying for a career that I am no longer interested in.

You were asking for advice, well, my advice to you is to go for the career that you truly desire right away.

Don't stall by wasting time & money on a temporary degree. You might end up Having to stick with it the rest of your life because of certain circumstances.

You don't want to regret wasting valuable time & money on something temporary when you can simply spend that time & that hard earned money, especially now during the economic crisis around the world, on a career you will truly be content waking up in the morning for.

Best of luck on your decision.

I now have to take a LONG break myself to truly discover my passion.

I'm taking Algebra II/Trig right now for mathematics. I know I should do biology, math, physics, chemistry, but what else? Out of the three careers I had mentioned earlier, which have the least stress, highest paying, and best future? E-mail me at lawshen1@hotmail.com

hello, my name is Abisha Blair,Im 17 years of age, in the 11th grade.I am quite interested in this perfession. thank you for informing me more about the perfession. =]

, Well i guess im definitely up for the challenge because this is exactly where i wanna be in the near future i just hope i go through with it and pursue every dream that i have set for my self.

I'm currently a junior in high school. Many of you have stated that the college courses are not exactly the same as high school courses. Therefore, I am wondering what are the differences between them?

Also, I would like to know the expected workload in medical school. Here are a couple of questions that I would be grateful if answers are supplied to them:

1) Is there time for family and friends if one becomes an anesthesiologist?

2) What exactly are the sources of stress associated with medical school?

3) What is the average cost of medical school?

4) Would joining the military lengthen the process of graduating from medical school? I'm well aware that by joining the military the expense for education will be taken care of to an extent.

5) Once you become a doctor, what becomes the everyday normal life? Do you work all day with hardly any free time?

Answers to these questions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have some questions about anesthesiology:

1. Is being an anesthesiologist rewarding? Do you look forward to going to work or just drag yourself there?
2. Is medical school more rewarding than high school?
3. Do you or do you not enjoy your job? Why or why not?
4. If you don't enjoy being an anesthesiologist, what other career would you go into?
5. Did you hate high school?

I am having trouble deciding whether to be a neurosurgeon or an anesthesiologist, but when i did research on them both it seems like they work hand-in-hand. Is this so? I love math and science and was wondering if these are good careers for me. Thanks :)

Hi I am a sophomore in college and im interested in medical school and was just looking for anything to help in regards to preparing for applying to get into med school

Hi, my name is Kayla, I'm 15 and a sophomore in high school. Although I think about it all the time, I can't decide on what I want to do with my life. I definitely want to go into the medical field, but I'm stuck between an ob/gyn and an anesthesiologist. Everybody tells me I have time to think but I feel like I don't. A lot of people refer to me as the "pretty girl with money", so when i tell them that is is the profession that interest me, it surprises them that such a pretty girl would want to go into something like this. I am a huge greys anatomy junkie and that's how i got interested in these jobs. I want to take the classes my junior and senior year that would count for college, but I feel like there is so much left to decide on. All of this information was really useful though.

Hi my name is Novarro and ever since my freshmen year i've wanted to be a physical therapist but around the beginning of my junior year and now i am a senior looking to attend HCC then UMBC. I would like to thank you for this article it has really put a lot of things in perspective for me.

My name is Dana Daugherty. I am a junior in high school and I'm really concerned about what path in the medical field I want to take. This information made a tremendous contribute to my decision I now want to become an anesthesiologist

Hey,my name is Jaliyah. Im in the 10th grade and i have always wanted to become a doctor since 3rd grade but never knew what kind. After doing research on this career path i have decided to become an anesthesiologist.
Next year i will be taking classes to prepare me for college. For example im going to be taking AP chemistry. I cant wait until college to fulfill this goal.

Hello. I am 15 years old, and a freshman at Southmoreland High School. I have noticed that this is a dream for many people. However, I think this is more than just a dream of my future. I have always been very serious throughout school, and I am in all honors and AP classes. I have a 4.0 GPA. I have recently been sent an invite in the mail, from People to People Student Ambassadors Organization. They asked me to go to Australia, and i was really looking forward to it, until I found out it costs seven thousand dollars. I also received one last year to go to Spain, but because of the money; I couldn't go. Ever since then; I've realized the true rewards there are for taking school seriously. I have been calling local places to look into volunteer work. I have been e-mailing organizations, and I plan on volunteering for many of those over the spring, summer, and fall. I am striving to continue this throughout all of my years in high school. I love helping out people as much as I can, and I LOVE science and math. I've been researching Anesthesiology for a while now, and my passion for becoming an Anesthesiologist keeps growing. I am going to Pittsburgh's National College Fair in about a week. There are hundreds of colleges across the United States going to this fair. However, I plan on only visiting with the ones that include a proper education in the field of Anesthesiology. I have found a few colleges, such as: University of Michigan, Cleveland State University, University of Pittsburgh, Virginia Commonwealth University, and West Virginia University. I would like to find more colleges. I want a variety of choices, so that I can think about it within the next few years of high school. Please e-mail me if you have any thoughts on other colleges proper for Anesthesiology. Thank you for this article; It helped me to become more determined for my future of becoming an Anesthesiologist.

Okay like everyone else, we all looked thisjob and saw the 6 figure pay and knew we wanted this job. (no one grows up wanting to be an anesthegeologist for the thrill of knocking someone out before surgery) We also all know a lot of people are not gonna make it cause of the rigorness and stress of the classes. Lets say though that you are one of those that goes through with it gets past residency, is the social aspect that people preach on really that big or is it being exxagerated? I want to do great in becoming this profession but lets be frank we all want some time with friends and family.

I am so glad that i found this website. I am currently writting a reasearch paper in my ninth grade Honors L.A. class on anesthesiologists. This website provided useful information to prepare me to draft my paper.

Right now i am entering a transistional stage in my life Right now im studying physical therapy at Des Moines University, but they do not offer very many classes in anesthetics should it be wise for me to continue my masters in physical therapy or just use my B.A. and move on to a place like University Hospitals in Iowa City because physical therapy is not really where my heart desires thank you for the very brief outlook on becoming in anesthesiologist

What school do you reccomend?

I am a freshman in college and i am so glad i read this article. I was already thinking about being an anesthesiologist, but I didn't fully understand their role. But now that I do, I want to pursue this career!

It helped me do better in school and thrive this carrer. I was doing a project over it in school.

it was very helpful and i am also in 7th grade and wan the become a anesthesiologist. but one thing that threw me off was it said 321,686 per year and in other websites it said 321,686 over a year

Thank you for the wonderful and very helpful articles. When I grow up, It would be my destiny to become an Anasthesiologist.

I hear this is a good paying job, and hopeful will reap benefits from it soon. thanks for listening, Study hard, Hard work in school pays. I love you all. Wish me all the luck in the world, as I will do for you. Someday, we'll meet at a conference, and we'll give each other a sincere hugs for our great accomplishment. Ciao!

I think Anethesiologists are cool just like surgeons. I feel that they are important people during operations. This website gives me insights to what are the requirements for being an anethesiologist. I am looking forward to stuyding anesthesiology and be an anethesiologist myself. I will face any obstacles that come in my way with strong embrace. After all, life is not a bed of roses. We have to have strong will to get what we want in life.

Do you understand that it is the best time to get the personal loans, which will make your dreams come true.

I, also, am in 9th grade. This helped me a lot. At first, i thought about becoming a pharmacist, but then i looked at Anesthesiology, and the money involved, and thought, wow this would be great. I like medicine, always wanted to become a doctor, and always liked getting money, so i've been researching anesthesiology a long time to find out all i can about it. Im not all intirely in this for the money... i really think this is the job for me, and i can't wait to see what i do. Thanks for this site! It helped!

I've always wanted to be in the medical field but didn't know what to do. Than I relized that I loved medicine as well as being in the E.R. that I wanted to become an anesthesiologist. Thank you so much anthony after I read what you wrote I became even more inspired to become one of the worlds most incredible doctors.

im young still in middle school young but for four years i have really been wanting to be an anesthesiologist. one day i would like to make this a realaty. I know its a big responsibility but i would be willing to.

Are there any cost-related advantages to use of a spinal (without any form of IV Sedation), for procedures such as hernia repairs?
Specifically, if decision to do this is made well in advance (16+ hours), is it "deemed acceptable practice" to schedule fewer/less-qualified personnel, and/or for a shorter time period, than would be required for a general anesthetic? (Especially if the patient has had previous spinals, without problems).

Thank you! This cite was very helpful in helping me learn more about my future career choice.

I am a college student hoping to one day become an Anesthesiologist. It is my life goal and I am going to do all it takes to reach this goal. I am a great student, but I am nervous about the University of Oklahoma and their Medical School. It is where I am attending Med School and I heard it is quite difficult, even for those prodigy students that have never had to study a day in their lives. Is there an Anesthesiologist that can give me tips on how to have better study habits to help me succeed?

I am cuuurrently taking classes at Austin Community College and working towards finishing my pre-reqs for the nursing program and looking to transfer to Texas A&m University Health Science Center.

Good luck to everyone that chooses the medical field.

hello,i have completed my MD anesthesia,iwantto knowwhat are the opportunities for me in india as well as abroad after completing a certified course either in neuroanaesthesia or critical care.please also tell me among these two which is better

This was exactly what I wanted to be in high school. I'm now ending my second year in college and I'm starting to lose faith in this. I'm very good in all of my other classes, including biology, physics, and math courses. My only downfall is organic chemistry. No matter how much I study I can't retain it. This is my second time taking the class and it's still killing me. Since all I hear is that organic chemistry is what weeds out the true medical students from the rest, I'm not too confident that I can be an anthesthesiologist now. Does anyone know what other professions I can get into?

Hi, I am only 12 years old and I have wanted to be a anesthesiologist scene I have seen them on T.V. I think the job is so important because they keep people alive during the surgery. Even though they work long hours, I like it would be great to feel the happiness that they feel when they come out of surgery and the person is just fine.

I have some questions about anesthesiology:

2. Is medical school more rewarding than high school?
3. Do you or do you not enjoy your job? Why or why not?
4. If you don't enjoy being an anesthesiologist, what other career would you go into?
5. Did you hate high school?

I'm in the tenth grade, and doing a report on "What I want to be when I grow up" for my English class. I've been leaning toward an anesthesiologist, this article was really helpful, and gave me great pointers and information to pursue my dream. I have always had an interest in medicine, and anesthesiology, and most of all helping people. About two years ago I started struggling with my own health problems, I think that's really when I took a huge interest in things along the line of the medical field. Thanks so much for the above information, it has helped a lot with my research paper, and has given me a better idea of the career that I am looking into. I am going to have to work my butt off to succeed in this occupation, no one said this career was going to be easy, but then again...Life isn't easy. :) Thanks, -Victoria.

>>Also, how much does the education (college) cost to be an Anesthesiologist?

How many years of college and med school do i have to take before i become an Anesthesiologist

The best part about studying medicine in South America is that you have patient-medical interaction beginning in your 3rd year of med school!! In the U.S., one year´s tuition at GW pays for my whole career here PLUS my residency....The key to learning medicine is interacting with medicine. ¨Perfect practice makes perfect¨, right?? Hands-on experience!!!! I´m currently in my last year doing my internship at a 2nd level Hospital, and I must say studying so many years to be an obstetrician just to say ¨push lady, push!!¨ ??? pleeeaaaaaase....LET´S GO ANESTHESIOLOGY!!! Surgical fields are awesome!

I'm a grade 11 student in High School. Before I started High School, I told myself I wanted to become an Anesthesiologist. Unfortunately I went through some rough patches in school (Bad Marks, attendance etc). This year I am doing my best to get high marks. Is it still possible to get into a good college/university ?

I am considering becoming an Anesthesiologist because of the pay mainly, but because I don't like seeing organs or blood also. I make straight A's now in 10th grade but in Honors English last year I got 1 point below an A so I recieved a B. But in normal English it averages out to an A. I will need a lot of grant and scholarship money because my family has saved nothing so far. I need to know if I am cut out for this from a person actually with this job or something close. Thanks so much -Dylan.

Hello, I've been thinking for over a year now of pursuing a career in anesthesiology. I'm a senior this year in high school and currently i'm taking ap chemistry, and honors calculus. I am also enrolled in a program that takes students to a local hospital everyday for half of the school day to take classes and go through clinical rotations. Unfortunately, i wasn't able to take ap biology because the school alternates between ap chemistry and ap biology every other year, hopefully this isn't too severe. I have an average SAT score, but i'm retaking them this upcoming October. I volunteered at another hospital for two consecutive summers for experience and i know for sure i want to work in the medical field. Although i aspire to be an anesthesiologist, i fear i will be overwhelmed and unable to complete the courses that people make seem so hard? If anyone with experience is able to help by emailing me that would be great, thanks!

i wold like to say that this article gave to me the confidence i needed to write my project. thank you for it.

Hello, my name is Mikalyn i'm about to go in to Ninth grade. I need to know what classes i should take for this career. What would look good on my collage applications? Should i take Spanish? Would it matter?

Hi I am currently a sophomore at SIUC. For a longtime I didn't have any idea what I wanted to do in life. I have a passion for helping others and making sure all is well. I know now that I want to study Anesthesiology. If there is anyone who has the heart to contact me and guide me into being successful in this profession, I will greatly appreciate it and take advantage upon any offers.

What is the average monthly or annual salary for an anesthesiologist in Guatemala?

Hello all. If you're interested in medicine, I would recommend shadowing a medical professional to see first-hand what it's all about. It takes both years of dedication and intense training, but it is well worth the effort. Your undergraduate major doesn't have much bearing on whether or not you gain admittance into medical school, but your science course GPA and MCAT scores do. So be sure to attain high grades in Chem, Physics, Organic Chem, and Bio. Also, a physiology class would be of great help for the MCAT. Just remember, if you don't get a great MCAT score, just go to Podiatry school, haha.

Hello, my name is Tiwan Reddick and I'm a sophomore in college coming up this fall. I have been thinking about changing my major from accounting to something I'm more passionate about and Anesthesiology seems to suit me perfectly. My only issue is whether or not I should pursue nursing or go doctorate. I would like to hear a few responses from both professionals. I can be reached via email or Facebook.com. I appreciate the help and look forward to hearing a few responses !

Hello, my name is Megan and I just started college in January. I'll be 25yr old this July. I know I started late, but that's not the point. I want to go for nursing, but I'm really not sure what kinda nursing I want to do. They're so many choices. If they're any nurses out their can you please give me some ideas about that line of work. Pros and Cons pursay? If you can email me at toodetaled4wurdz@aol.com. Thanks:)

I personally am just starting school to obtain my Bachelor's Degree in Biology (pre-med). And to read what has been posted on here about Anesthesiology and all the people that say don't do it. DON'T listen to them. If this is something you are interested in, then by all means go for it. It does take a lot of hard work and determination but if this is your dream as it is mine, then pursue it. But make sure you work hard. The hard work and all the time invested will pay off in the long run. I am 33 yrs old and I am just starting out. It is NEVER to late to start school. So good luck to all the aspiring Anesthesiologists out there! I hope you all make it. I know I will. There are too many negative people on this forum. If you feel the need to be that negative, you are probably a poor unfortunate soul who never made it in a career you chose. If you like medicine and are willing to work hard, you can make it. If you are interested in the money, then at least you are honest. Good luck!!!

K so im a junior in college and am looking at various careers in the medical field and anesthesiology is one of them. I understand what it takes and i get thats its hard work. All i want to know is why would you (being whoever answers me and pls do) went into anesthesiology as opposed to another field? Is it easier or harder? Did anesthesiology just appeal to you? thanks

Hello my name is bree (breanna). i am a freshmen in high school and i have always wanted to be an Anesthesiologist but the thing is, my grades arnt that great but all the important state tests that i have taken have been very good. would that be enough for me to get in to collage? any actual Anesthesiologists that have any advice and spare time be able to talk to me? email- breegarvey@yahoo.com

Hey, my name is Nick im in 9th grade and i decided a couple months ago that i wanted to be an anesthesiologist. I have been looking into it for about a month now and i really like it, but the only thing that bothers me is will it reflect with me since i play baseball and football for the highschool? I mean i have adv biology and i have a 98 in their and iv had adv math and i made a 96 in thier so grade wise im doing pretty good, but if you've had any experience please email me hrking18ross@yahoo.com Gracias

hello my name is yarelli and i am in eight grade.I am doing a research report on which career i want to take and i need an anesthesiologist to answer me only ten simple questions that my teacher gave me to interview.Please if there is anyone who is an anesthesiologist that can help me. Just contact me.

Hi, my name's Bailee, and I am in 8th grade. I am very interested in becoming an anestesiologist. This article was a great help, but I still have a few questions, so if anyone would be willing to answer them and knows a bit about it, please contact me. Thank you :)

Hi, I am a med student and if anyone is interested in being a surgeon or anything related I really suggest you evaluate if you are able to handle it. You dedicate almost all of your time to studying and the work is not that easy. If you dont love bio and chem and are not good at it...do not go in the med field. Also, since my whole family is in the med field please note that you really wont have that much time to devote to family. One of the most common things I see is although people are good at the bio and love it, people drop out of the bio major because they cant handle the blood and to see all the organs etc. Just some things to consider. Hope this helps somewhat :)

I have been an anesthesiologist for almost 20 years. It is a well-paid job, but you must know that it can be very frustrating to be "chained" to the anesthesia machine for the better part of 24 hours. Most people think that 40 hours is a full work week. That is probably about half or less than my average week in hours. There is a lot of stress in taking care of patients who are very ill and dying. There is good variety in types of surgery that you get to see---but the fact remains that mistakes in anesthesia are very unforgiving (heart attacks, strokes, death, etc.) You must seriously like to do this work, otherwise choose something with better hours like accounting or business or dentistry.

Hi, my name is Ian and this article is great. I was looking to pursue this career and was wondering was there any medical school student or anesthesiologist who had some free time to answer a few questions. I understand that your very busy but if you had any time that would be great. The advice could really be useful. Its only a couple of short questions. Thanks

Brittany: It may not be a good idea to become a paramedic first if you really want to go to med school. Talk to an advisor at the college before you start. Let them know what your plans are. It makes sense that being a paramedic would be on the path to getting into med school, but that is not usually the case. The classes to be a paramedic and those to be a doctor are very different and if you get to the point where you are ready to go to med school, you will probably be starting back at square one. So, if you really want to be a doctor, your time would be better spent by just going to college and getting a bachelor's degree in biology, chemistry, or something similar and then going to med school. Don't waste your time being a paramedic, if you really want to be a doctor.

I was wondering if anyone student in med school could please email me back in thier spare time..i really need some questions answered. Im only a junior but i start college next year. i will be going to college half the day then high school..but by the end of next year i will be an E.M.T and working my way up..but i just really need some answers to some questions...so please someone that
CAN answer them..please let me know
Thanks!

Thanks for your time..anyone will answers please email me. Thanks!

Hi I'm junior in High School looking to get in the medical school. you guys supply alot of great advice about payment and collage, but could someone provide what the normal day of an anesthesiologist is? I know there will be different hours and jobs in it as surgery bedside and all that. but I would like a basic definition like I arrive at the hospital, scrub up, put someone to sleep for surgery, etc etc.. if anyone could input this it would be appreciated thanks.

Hi I am an 8th grader and i have wanted to become an anestisiologist since i was like 6 and i was wanting to know like so many other people, what university has the biggest number of graduating people and has the best classes for people who are pursuing this career

Hi, my name is Allison.. and I'm a freshmen in high school. Ever since last year in 7th grade, when we had a career day i have been set on being an anestheiologist. I was just wondering, after the first four years of college, and the four years of med school, is there a job you can pursue until you take residency? I was also wondering what some good schools are to take these classes at?

I know a lot of people say this job is really stressful, and you could end up getting sued but if its something i want to do, i should go for it right?

thanks

allison.

I am a junior and an honors student with a 4.0 GPA, and I am interested in pursuing a career as an anesthesiologist. I was wondering which colleges have strong programs for those wanting to pursue this specific career, and I also would like to know if there is any information on average how much an education for anesthesiology costs and how long it takes to pay off student loans on the average pay for an anesthesiologist. If anyone has information for me that would be great. Thanks.

okay... i have wanted to do this since like 7th grade and im pretty committed. right now i am 15 in 10th grade. im in calculus, im taking my SATs in march, and i have a 3.8 GPA.
im great in science and i need some opinions.
what are some good schools for this field?
what classes should i take in college?


thanks

For everyone aspiring to go into the field of medicine...

Do not listen to half of the people posting on this forum: those who say, "You will fail if you only go into it for the money," and, "Pursuing a career in anesthesiology is unrealistic and is too much work," are completely insane. I'm currently a third year student at the Pritzker School of Medicine and have always been completely against anyone who discourages an aspiration towards becoming a doctor or individual associated with medicine. The truth is, accept the fact that you must work hard to succeed. If you're willing to work hard, you will becoming what you want to be, whether or not that is an anesthesiologist. I've been willing to work hard and have accomplished everything I've worked towards accomplishing my entire life, proving the fact that hard work pays off. No, I did not enter this field ONLY because I love medicine and helping people; I feel that the salary is fantastic and is well-worth the work, therefore I'm willing to work towards that. If you truly want to become an anesthesiologist or doctor because of the money, by all means, work for it. If you want it badly enough, it will happen, regardless of what is making you want it that badly. Do not listen to anyone telling you that your chances are slim. Work hard. Although you may feel a desire to slack or try and "get by," all the hard work will pay off in the end. Best of luck to all you aspiring doctors! And lastly, for all those who are under the age of 15 or 16, I applaud you for coming onto this site and looking into a great path. It's never too early to develop an interest or a goal, and the earlier you start (although your decisions may change), the better off you'll be!

im really good at math but science seems a little difficult for me sometimes eventhough its everything about common sense. im a 3 year graduate and really interested in this career. do you think this can be for me?

i m doin a report for ag about my career, im plannin on bein an anesthesiologist. im in 8th grade and i need to no how many years it takes for college, can u help me?

Hello, i've been interested in anesthesiology for a while now. I was wondering what colleges have a good program for this and what requirements i need. I'm not an A+ student in math or science. so I wonder is anesthesiology still an option for me ? I would love an email back

Xinchu, i love your explanation so to all the other people but i couldn't read all the comments.

I am in eleventh grade and soon i will have to choose my career. I have been looking at so many professions and i came up on anesthesiologist a few weeks ago and i have noticed that this job requires a lot of brains and time and basically everything you have. I am very clever, i have never had a B in any of my classes, i am not a math genius but i can easily understand when a teacher is talking. I was wondering if there any actual anesthesiologists out there please contact me.
Thank you

I Would love to become an Anesthesiologist but i don't know what is a good school for me is after high school like what university should I go to and what classes I should go so can you help me thanks:)

hi!

i would love to be an anesthesiologist when i graduate and i plan on going to Baylor University in Texas..

what are some cities that are possible for me to live in

Okay, so i'm in High School and our councelors want us to have an idea of what we want to be so they can put us in the right classes. Well I always wanted to do something like this, either anesthesiologist or else CSI. So, I need to know if it's really worth all that time, because after reading some of the comments below i'm kind of scared after seeing some of you say that if I put in all the time to become an anesthesiologist and make all this money that i'll have no time to actually spend it. If I become an anesthesiologist will I have time to actually do stuff in my life, or will this take up all of my time? Please let me know, feel free to email me. Thank you!

I am very much so interested in the medical field. All my life it's been a dream for me . My only concern is that I have been struggling in school lately and I am having second thoughts about the whole anesthesiologist thing.I don't want to let my dreams get pushed aside just because of my lazy past. What should I do? I want this so bad, not just for the money either.

OK first off im a highschool student just looking into this field. I have a friend who is actually an anesthesiologist and he says this is a great field. People, Bill might not have succeeded but he did what a lot of people arent willing to do, he tried. One thing that kinda caught my eye was the paycheck but in reality its going to be less after the government gets done with ur bills. This job intrests me because i have always been intrested in the medical field. if you have any advice please give me some.
Thanks, Jake.

To Whom it may concern,

I am a first-year college student and I am interested in the dentistry career. I am seeking a female dentist so I could have an interview with her. I want to know about her and how she has gone through this career (her reasons of going into this career, her experience while going through this career, etc.) Thank you for your time.

Bill's not really being bitter, he's being realistic. It's something that everyone should know before starting the long journey to becoming an anesthesiologist.

It's A LOT of school, money, risk, and time, so if you're going into it for the money you'll end up miserable.

Those four years in med school and four years as a resident will be your whole life, so don't expect to enjoy your youth like every other 23 year old. Not only is school expensive, but doctors (anesthesiologists especially) are very susceptible to being sued and losing their jobs. Doctors get sued often, it's a reality you should come to accept before going into that field.

A lot of people just think "Oh, I'm good at science, I should go to med school and make tons of money" but that's not the reality of it. Truth is, like Bill said you won't have time to spend all of that money, so if you're just in it for the money you'll end up very unhappy. You need to LOVE helping others and LOVE medicine to be good at what you do.

Ask yourself if you'd still want to be a doctor if they only got $30,000 a year. If the answer is no, reevaluate your life.

Hello, everybody. I received a B.A. in Biology from The Johns Hopkins University and I am currently attending the Yale School of Medicine. I am going to specialize in the field of Psychiatry. I'd just like to say that if you aspire to become a physician/medical specialist, it takes a lot of work. You can't just do it for the money, especially if you are taking on the role of a surgeon or an anesthesiologist. You must be dedicated to the field. If you want to make an QUICK, EASY $300,000, go work as a LAWYER or start a SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS... Medical school is not the place for you. When one is an anesthesiologist, one CANNOT be prone to stress, even when in an extremely stressful environment and one must cope with the fact that one's actions could save someone's life or potentially end it. Picking a medical career isn't like going to go pick some fresh fruit from the local grocery store. It is a BIG choice! If you have ANY hesitation about going into this field, you should NOT go into it. I wish I could make this comment for optimistic, but I cannot, due to the gravity of the issue. Hopefully, you will all make the right personal decisions! Good luck with any future ventures!

Hello,my names Joey and I'm a senior in High School. I ve been looking forward to going into the medical field as a career and anesthesiology is one of my options but i was wondering what is a good if not the best college to attend to go into this field?

hello, my names is Baylee. Im currently a Middle School student and soon to be a High School Freshman. I would love to be involved in this sort of profession. I am in all Pre-ap classes and participate in all available extra-curriculaur activities. my plan in life is to be able to provide for my family like my mother has struggled so hard to do. I want more than anything to specialize in any medical field. I would prefer one of such honor. I believe I have the abilities to accel at this profession. I would like to know more information about the cost of the education and training. Also the best school to attend for one looking to not only accel but have the potential to be the best.

Hi, i have just recently decided to pursue a career as a anesthesioloist. i am really interrested with this career, but i do have alot of other stuff i do now during the week. such as church, sports, etc. any suggestions? Please send me a email with responses!

im in my second year of medical school. let me first off by sayiing if your not at the top of your graduating class your chances of entering an anesthesiology residency is slim to none. anesthesiology is 3rd haredest specialty to be in. good luck

Okay, so Bill...you're an idiot. The REALITY of it is, is as long as you're willing to do the work, you're sacrifices will be well worth it when you're in this field.

I'm in the military and currently in Medical school. After I finish my 4 years I fully plan on going back to school for this speciality.

I joined the military because med. school IS very expensive and I couldn't do it on my own.

Most of the advice on this is really good and I would advise people to take alot of it.

Ignore the bitter negative advice you may find on here. From the sound of it, Bill probably invested alot of time and money attempting to go far in his medical career and failed. Now he's just bitter and drowing in his own self pitty and wants to discourage anyone else from successfully accomplishing what he failed miserably at.

As long as you go into this knowing that you'll need to work hard and go at it with everything you've got, you can do it. And while yes, for 4 years you'll be working long hours for little pay, you have to realize that you need to learn how to crawl before you can walk. Other people had to go through the same thing...and look at them now. They're exactly where they want to be. You're hard work will pay off and I encourage anyone who is interested in getting into this field to go for it 100%.

hey i was researching about this career and i was wonder what is the difference between an anesthesiologist and a CRNA. ma parents are pushing towards the CRNA as it involves less money for them. but for some reason i stil wanna be a doctor so i just want to be well informed before i go off to college next year.

Hey JD I'm in Middle School and I've always known that a high paying job as some sort of doctor was the one for me so I looked into anesthesiology. The way that Bill guy puts it it sounds like he's one of those punks that got thrown out of med school for some stupid reason. Thanks for the info and the encouragement JD you rock!

Hi everyone.. I'm grant and i go to central high school. I'm number 20 in my class and my gpa is a 4.615. I was just wondering for any of those out there who have been accepted into harvard or to Johns Hopkins, what did it take? And what all did you do to get accepted into a great school like that.. I'm in student council, NHS, and HOSA (our health science club at our school) but i dont know what else to do to be able to put on a college resume so i could even apply for Harvard or any top college of that caliber. If you could just let me know that would mean alot. Thank you for your time.



Grant

hello everyone i am a thirteen year old who aspires to be an anesthesiologist and i think that this infomation is very good and made me want to pursuit this career even more and i feel that i fit the descripton of what an anesthesiologist is and i can't wait till i fulfill my dream of being somewhere in the medical feild and also if there is anyone that is an anesthesiologist here i woul dlike some additional info on what your job is like and if you enjoy it. Thank you.

I recently began career planning in high school and please just here me out before you decide that I'm just an over enthusiastic high school girl. I've been looking at my options and anesthesiology seems quite appealing but could someone advise me on the following:

1) What are the general working hours for anesthesiologists.

2) How do anesthesiologists balance work and family life especially those who are mothers.

Thanks, this advice would be really helpful.

heres some advice for those of you that are still in high school or middle school and interested in anesthesiology. its a long road and a lot of school and studying, so i'll map it out for you.



first off, work hard and get good grades in high school to get into a good college (not a community college, but any regular college is fine).



next you're in college for 4 years. you'll pick a major, anything thats interesting to you, and do your pre-med classes in addition.



then take the MCAT exam before you graduate from college. if you get good grades through college and on the MCAT, then you have a good chance of getting into medical school. thats the next step - medical school.



so then you go to medical school for 4 years. you'll take 3 exams called the USMLE Step 1, 2 and 3 before you can be a licensed doctor. Once you have finished medical school and these exams, you can apply for a residency in ANESTHESIOLOGY!



The anesthesiology residency is like training for 4 years, where you get paid very little for a lot of work.



When you're done with the residency, then you're officially an anesthesiologist and you can work in a hospital and make tons of money!



so to sum it up:

4 years of high school

4 years of college

4 years of medical school

4 years of residency in anesthesiology

and you're done!



good luck!

Wow, most people are just glazing over the solid advice from med students and actual anesthesiologists. Medicine is tough to get into, and even tougher to stay in. Anytime you see a big salary for a Doctor you KNOW there was tremendous effort and sacrifice needed to get to that position and to do the job well. If you go in just for the money, you will suffer dearly. Look at the typical work hours of all these high paying fields. How much of that $300,000 (well it's much less after taxes and insurance premiums) will you enjoy when you are working 60 hours a week and getting called into work at all times of the night? Oh, lets not forget about the thousands of dollars you'll own in loans and the 80-100 hour work weeks you'll be suffering through during residency while getting paid below minimum wage when you convert pay to hours worked.

99% of you wont go into this field. Welcome to reality.

Hi I really enjoyed reading the current stat on becoming an anesthesiologist. To be honest at first I wanted to become a psychiatrist because I really felt the urge to do a career in which i would help people but really now I decided the best type of work [[field]] you could get into is the medical field. Yes the pay is high and its a very interesting way of learning the whole view and everything about the anestheics but I really want to go into the line of work to serve others and give others hope that they shouldn't be afraid to feel better. =0

my moms been pressuring me to be an anestesiologists and i was considering it..until i learned about the education part. this job is the highest paying medical job and im all about the money but to tell the truth i cant stand school..(im a junior in high school.16) im just trying to get out of school and fly through college if i have to stay in another like 6 years to be an anestesiologists..then i cant do it..people say its a stressful job and i just dont have the patients...i think im going to stick with the 3rd highest paying job an obstetrician

Hi, I'm going to sacramento state university to get my bachelors in biology. I will then go to medical school and then anesthesiologist for four years. All I can say that if you are a dedicated person then never give up. And yes medical school is very competitive but what other degree isn't so don't let that word scare any one off. Just keep following your dreams.

For all of the people who say that you dont grow up wanting this career you are wrong because i have for a long time oh and fyi it is not about the money yeah its good but it is about your passion for this field but not only that a passion for all medicine i love it and would not even attempt any other type of job

Okay, I've read a ton of comments about saying that I'm too young to even be thinking about this. But if you think about it, to get accepted into those nice brochure colleges, you gotta make sure of the high school classes you choose. So I'm gonna dive into this anyway. I'm not sure yet on whether this is the right career path for me. So please, enlighten me on the really important things I have to consider. I don't care about how hard it is. I don't care how long it takes, as long as I know it pays off in the end. Please give me some reassurance or detterent points to consider. Most of the comments here are right about my motives though so I would appreciate it if they were not repeated in response, should someone ever respond to this. I'm only in it for the money. And I honestly do not care whether I like the job, the studying, or the hours; as long as the pay's worth it. So please help me determine whether this is the most logical course I can possibly take. Thank you for your help and/or your time.

For those who read these comments dont be scared. These are people who talk about there hardships, and doubts. Yes, becoming and Anesthesiologist is extremely time consuming and difficult. But with hardwork, motivation and dedication you will go far. I am a sophomore in College and i am just deciding this is exactly what i want to do. Nothing in the medical field is easy. Medicine has to be a passion. But live your dreams, you only have one life to live. Live it to the Fullest, and everything else will fall in place. ♥ Dios de Bendiga!!

Hello all! My name is Kenneth. I am what some would call a "reformed knucklehead." I graduated high school in 1996, earned my AS degree in business in 1999, and since then, have done absolutely nothing but screw around and pile on debt. However, now being newly single and 31 years old, I am re-visiting my childhood dream of becoming an anesthesiologist. I have been claiming this as my career since the 2nd grade. I guess my question is...is it too late for me? Would it be unrealistic for me to commit to such a rigorous educational process knowing that I would, in essence, be a 42 year old rookie out of school? Any constructive criticism is welcomed. Thanks

I am a sophomore in college right now, and I am staying in a Health Professions Residential Hall. Almost everyone I know/talk to are going into the Health Field, or if not, something into the science field which requires a Masters degree. I, myself, find that I am in between choices for a career. On one hand, being an anesthesiologist, or any kind of doctor sounds appealing, (the charactes from Grey's Anatomy come to mind, LOL.) and I love working with people and trying to make them feel better. But on the other hand, I am female and want to have a family. (Not to say that males don't...) In the end, I guess I will have to find a way to reconsile that, because I already have a large family (eleven brothers and sisters), and I will feel weird if I am ever married and have no children to drive me insane! LOL. However, I take reassurance from the fact that if I am not blessed to have a family because of my strict schedule, I can still touch many people's lives...and I can always have my future neices and nephews over my house to drive me insane instead!! XD

HI! My name is Ally, and I am i grade 7. I really, really want to be an anesthesiologist!!! I have been dreaming about this for a really long time, and i have a couple of questions. (1) What universities are the most practical for someone that wants to become an anesthesiologist?
(2) How often do anesthesiologists kill the patient and end up being sued? (3) Is the stress and time consumption hard to handle?

Thank you very much! This means ALOT to me!

Please, please, please students who are in high school and middle school stop thinking about becoming an anesthesiologist at that point. It is very high aspirations as well as wayyy too far in advance. If anything, think about becoming a "doctor". As stated, you have a significant amount of schooling in front of you, and what you think is "hard" now will be far different from what you think is "hard" in the future. A 4.0 GPA in middle school or highschool means zippo in comparison to college, let alone to medical school. It's alright to dream, as it is to become a fighter pilot or astronaut. Perhaps not as difficult as those fields, medicine is not for everyone -- and the money isn't as good as it looks. To a poster prior, "Havard" and "Johns Hopkins" are very difficult to get into as a undergraduate, and even more so for medical school. You may want to learn how to spell Johns Hopkins prior to applying.



But best of luck, I have 2 years left in medical school after graduating highschool 10 years ago.I still don't know what I want to specialize in, let alone 16 years ago that I knew I wanted to be an Anesthesiologist.



Good luck...

i was just wanting to know, what is the typical schedule of an anesthesiologist? i am in 5th grade and we just had career day so now i have to do a project over my job and i cant find the job schedule. it is a requirement for my project so please help me. thanks!

I'm 15 years old and a sophomore in high school and I am doing a career speech on anesthesiology. This field of work really seems interesting to me and would love to know some of the ups and downs of this job. Also what type of fringe benfits this job has or if that depends on where you work. I would also be interested to know if anyone has an idea how well people in this field will be doing in the future do to the economy.

i was wondering (i'm in 7th grade) what are the requirments to be a anesthesiologist and what comes before med school and all of that? also what college should i go to to get this job?? thank you ever so much!! really!!!

Hey I'm in 7th grade and i totally know this is super duper early to be deciding what type of career i want but at least it will give me quite a bit of time to decide. So could someone send me an email or something containing the answers to the following questions:

1- how much of that $321,686 paycheck do you actually get to keep?

2- should i still be considering it because obama is trying to make healthcare free or whatever like some schools, since that would dramatically affect my pay?

3- on a scale of 1-10, how stressful are anesthesiologists at the end of each day?

4- is it worth all of the schooling?

5- how often do anesthesiologists accidently kill people and get sued?

so could someone answer these and get back to me soon? thanks

...I'm currently attending California State University, Sacramento..and not to be rude..but everyone that is 16 and below in here really needs to just focus on now..your plans will change so many times, and you guys are probably just excited off of the avg. 375K salary..but if you do the math..after only taxes you make 240K then you have malpractice insurances. Plus becoming an Anesthesiologist requires 4 yrs college for a Bachelors, then 4 years of Medical School for a M.D., Masters degree, and then a four year residency in which you get paid pennies compared to how much you work. If you're a female especially, think about whats more important...family or work?

For anyone interested in Anesthesiology, the FIRST thing you need to do is get into medical shool, which is a difficult task in of itself. Once in medical school, you can get hands-on experience in Anesthesia and other medical fields to decide what is best for you. As a graduating medical student entering Anesthesia, I can assure you that the first step is deciding if you want to become a medical doctor and THEN deciding what medical field you wish to persue.

everything that people have siad is very true if u make one little mistake and the patient feels discomfort or dies then u get ur butt sued off and when u add up all the taxes about 65% of ur paycheck is gone its a lot of schooling u dont get any sleep and they stil expect u to be pleasant and perfect (11+ yrs)and TONS of hardwork it can litterally break u with all of the competiton and many people just quit but if u want to go for it then good luck

Hey everyone.. I am 19 years old and dropped out of college.. I have always been a good student and maintained a 3.5 gpa. I would say to anyone who wants to go to college start at a community college and just take simple classes. I made the mistake of going to a private school and paying 30,000 for 18 credits. I changed my major 4 times. You need time and experiance in a field before you go pay for it. If you want to be a doctor volenteer in a hospital and see if you can talk to some people in the hospital and see if its for you. Simple classes can get you far. They are cheep and credits you need. all that matters is having a degree at least get a associates in a general business. And take your time with a job. Who knows maybe your job will pay for it.

I'm a senior in high school, and i'm currently doing a research project for my english class. we are supposed to interview someone from our desired career field and i was wondering if anyone knew a site where i could contact an anesthesiologist, since im not sure if this would be a good reason to get in contact with any ASA members.

I am an AP student and am looking to pursue a career in the medical field I have dreamed about become an anesthesiologist but have left my doors open to many other careers just in case it doesn't work out for me this page was very helpful to choosing a major for college I am only a sophomore in high school but will be graduating in my junior year.

I do agree with the people who have said that i might be to young to choose a career and I do realize that it might not work out the way i planned but I also think they should remember that you can do anything you put your mind to and for the people who want to be an anesthesiologist remember to even be considered for some schools in this career you have to have at least a 3.5 GPA .

So just don't do it for the cash. It's unlikely you will pocket >$200K as an anesthesiologist. High tax bracket folks pay 35% of their income, at present. This doesn't include state tax, social security, medicare. Expect 45-50% of your salary to be taken from you. This does not include malpractice insurance either. With Obama-care, who knows what will happen to taxes. Reimbursement for procedures/medical care rendered continues to diminish or stagnate relative to inflation. The neighborhood neurosurgeon can say he/she makes $500K+, but really they take home half of that, if that, and put in 80+ hours per week, every week. Is it worth 8+ years of schooling, not including college, and not including additional fellowship training after residency? You will never be rich as a doctor. I'm not trying to hate, but you gotta recognize, right.

how many years of education do i need to be an anesthesiologist?

i am currently a 2nd year medical student at the university of stranford i am still not sure of what medical career to pursue ? any ideas?

well ima sophomore but i am already thinking about my future. i have been looking into anesthesiology. i was wondering though how often will u be able to see ur family and have some relax time? paying for college and medical school is not a problem but will i be able to have a job or will i have to be all study all the time. lets say i take the courses to be an anesthesiologist but either i dont make it or its just not for me... how many jobs will i be able to get? what jobs are linked to anesthesiology? i have many questions but its really complicated. idk if i want to be anesthesiologist or not. if u have some advice or can help me with this decision contact me at patriotkris92@hotmail.com

soo..it's great that all you middle schoolers and high schoolers are looking ahead and thinking about what you want to do in life. however, i'm not trying to be mean (but speaking from experience), having a 4.0 in high school doesn't really mean anything. yea, those honors/ap classes are great, but once you get to college it's completely different and it's very likely you'll change your major like 2 or 3 times! soo of course pursue your dreams, but i mean, it's reeeally early for some of you...have fun while you can because in college you'll be studying 100 times more haha :)

Hello. I am a junior at Randolph-Clay High School. It is a very small town, but i believe no matter where you are from you can achieve any goal, overcome any obstacle, and be whatever it is that you desire. That is why i would love to become an anesthesiologist. I understand that it may be a journey trying to acheive this goal, but I am willing to go through the process to make my dream come true. I am a very bright student with all the passion in the world to be a success. I am eager to learn and stimulate my mind. I want to be a role model to the kids that live in the project, ghetto, or even the mansions. No matter where you are or who you are, I hope that you will read this and get the desire to make your dreams come true. I am asking that you pray for me so that i will become an anesthesiologist. Thank You!

I know this sounds kind of pathetic, but i am an 8th grader and i have decided (not truely for sure) that i want to become an anesthesiologist. I am working on a project on what career i would like and this is obviously the one that i chose. I really like it because i am really good at math and science. The only thing that i am really concerned about is the cost for the education to become an anesthesiologist. Madical school and a university all this will add up and i dont want to be paying off debt my whole life. Am i making the right choice?

Hi I'm michael

Hi, my name is eric. I am a junior in high school. I am very concerned about my future. I want a high paying, secure, and a happy enviroment to work at. I know anesthesiologist is very hard work. But I do know I can do it if I set my mind to it. I am not so great a science. I know you must be, but I am willing to work very hard. I would say my avg. grade for any science class so far, would have to be a high C. So Do you think i have a good chance at becoming a Anesthesiologist

My name is Shana and I am currently a senior in high school. I have been wanting to become an Anesthesiologist for quite some time now, but i keep changing my way of getting there. I'm not sure on the route I would like to take. I am planning on taking a technical program first. So if anything should happen, I would have a career to fall back on to start back from instead of just a job. That would also help a little in paying for my school. So maybe that may be something to think of for other people as well.

wow after readin all of these comments i really wonder how many of us will really become anesthesiologists! lol! from the get go i really believed i wanted to be a lawyer and i thought about doctor for a quick2nd then jus as quick decided no way hosay lol mostly because i've never directly been associated with death! no one i have known has died yet and i dont think i could handle the burden of dead lives and i no i cant deal with BLOOD. but that was wen i was growin up.. now im a sophmore and really anxious about my future.there r times were i really feel im going nowhere i feel like im stressin myself out but i dont want to loose my chance to have a good future..ya feel me. well i no i'm smart...but i doubt myself...am i smart enough to go through 13 years of education? i mean i have natural smarts so i've never really had to work 2 hard in skoo cus it came easy. i work hard but i'v yet to work my hardest i always feel like im livin up to others expectations not mine(cus mines r set much higher) i never give up tho and ppl think im a perfectionist but i think all these years of things coming easy are gonna catch up to me in my college years! well anyways my dad wants me to b successfull and rich because of things he's lost and things he's never had the chance 2 do...so wen he first told me he wants me to be an anesthesiologist i jus ignored it and knew he was tryn to live his dreams off of me but then it came down to figurin out wat i wantd to do with my life....i knew i wanted to make a difference and i love helping ppl and often relieve ppls pain by takin it on....i haven't taken any courses so far in high school to prepare me for medicine so far but after researching anesthesiologists i kind of feel like my once blurry future is becomeing clearer. i know its challenging but my favorite and best subject has always been science and i've always excelled in math. idk if its jus hi skoo but i've lost alot of my motivation and im trying to snap myself out of this phase i got alot of growin up 2 do so i just hope that mayb if i could talk to more ppl in this field i would no for sure it's what i wanna do...Well i can be VERY determined, professional and i not only chase my dreams but i catch them my fear is making a mistake about my future because there's no DO OVERS and maybe failing......well i jus wrote a story but it felt good to get all this off my chest! well even though i doubt myself on the exterior deep down i no i can do anything i put my mind to because i always have i have a strong intuition that theres a higher calling for me and im meant to do great things. well if u read this story. thanks alot. im not crazy either..jus a teenager lol. feel free to email me if u have any advice or if we have anything in common lol>>>THANKS 4 your time>>>have a happy and prosperous life>>>God Bless!

I'm 19 years old & I'm a single mom & I look forward to going to school for this.. Just unsure about the 10 year process being that I have a son & wanted to began a career in about 3 years..

Hi my name is Natasha and im a sophmore. For years I have been struggling becuase i dont know what career is right for me. I think an Anesthesiologist would be a great career for me, except for the fact that I dont know if Im in love with the human body which has to do with it. I dont have the best GPA but the best trait about me is that I try my best in everything. I am in the HMO program at my school (health medical occpuation). I dont know what i should do becuase in this program you have to work colunteer hours to see if you are interested in the medical feilds. The 2 best things i am very interested in is making big cash and most importantly, helping others. I just dont know if i would enjoy doing that everyday. I truly need some big time help becuase im doing everything i can to decide what career i should be in. I want to make the most of my life and fulfill my dreams. Since i like big money I dont know if i should be in business and help others by doing charity or help other by being in the medical feilds and make moeny. Right now im working at a dental office, it is pretty cool. My options i am thinking of are dentist, plastic surgeon, anesthesiologist, or being a part of big companys. I personally think i would be great with both. I am just confused. I have tooken career tests, been to many colleges and I still dont know what to do. I would REALLY approciate it if someone who is in the meidcal feilds could help me. It would make me very happy and you could make a difference in my life. Please help me out here. my email is Natashakhounani123@hotmail.com

Hello. I am a 9th grader interested in becoming an Anesthesiologist. I understand greatly that it's going to be extremely hard work, and I'm going to have to be devoted to years of learning and practicing. I also understand that lives will be in my hands. I enjoy learning about medicines, and how the body works. I was just wondering what would be some good classes to take throughout my high school education. If you could please help me out, I'd greatly appreciate your time. Also, I am doing a project on careers and if you are any type of a doctor and would fill out a 5 minute survey, that'd be wonderful. Thank you.

I've been an anesthesiologist for 5 years now. It has been an unbelievable amount of work. It seems difficult to participate in life outside of the hospital. Sometimes I wonder if I made the right decision, but staring down at $150k of debt keeps me going.

i like love being a anesthigy./ its soooooooooo kool.

Hey, my Hannah and I'm an 8th grade honors student. I've wanted to be a doctor for as long as I can remember. I kinda first wanted to be an anesthesiologist when I attempted to say the word when I was 10. Ever since then I have wanted to be one. I've found out more about the job, but I would like to know what courses I should take through high school (I'm taking honors biology and an engineering class next year) and college. Thanks! Hannah @(*-*)@

Hi everyone, Im a nurse anesthetic,this is my 2nd year, and Im going back to school for Anesthesiologist, it would be triple the money that Im making now. Whoever is getting into the medical field, good look and its worth it.Study hard and make that six figure income.

Yeah sweetheart, here's your advice: learn how to type and spell correctly! You need to grow up a lot. You'll get no where with speech like that.

Hello i am in 10th grade and i want to become an anesthesiologist idk if i am smart enough though because i am not the best at math. and if any1 could pls tell me the best classes to take in highschool to prepare that would be greatly appreciated.

I really want to pursue this career but my strongest subject is not science. should i commit myself to this career even though i'm not strong in it or should i do it anyway beause it's what i want to do?

Hello, this article was exceptionally helpful. I intend to follow the medical field and I stumbled across being an Anesthesiologist. I'm going to go to Stanford University and I'm wondering what classes are going be the most helpful and clubs that will stand out the most for the best job opportunities.

i have a close friend of mine who is working in this field as we speak. she totally loves it and work her butt of to get where she is today. i admire her ability and strength to get to where she is today and hope that one day i can do the same. i have always been interested in the medical field and thought pediatrics was my calling. after searching around a bit and reading this site i've become quite fond of this field and just might pursue it. i'm now in my 2nd year of college and have taken most of the basic classes for nursing. i think im ready to be an Anesthesiologist =)

I am an 10th grade student and I have my heart set on being an Anestheiologist. I was wondering on which colleges would be best to persue this career. i am planning to graduate early from highschool and i want to get started as soon as possible. The article was a lot of help. THANKS!

why do anethesiologists wear scrubs? are they like pajamas? i heard some wear suits at nicer hospitals is this true?! i would want to wear whatever because then i can wake up and go there like it aint no thang and i could play xbox 360 all day until i have to operate or the wii because i already am really good at surgery on it. this is why i want to be an anesthesiologist my life is decided.

This website helped me alot

I must say, this article is wonderfully written. Not only has it proved informative, it has encouraged many to direct interest towards this profession. I, as well as those who read this article really appreciate this. Although I am in 7th grade, I have seriously though about persuing this profession as a career and I have ultimately decided my choice. With much gratitude to this piece of writing, this article has aided me very much and I, among others appreciate that extensively.

hI! im studying to become a dentist right now and i want a D.D.S degree and this is my first year in college. im in my second semester. i really want to start things out the right way and not lose any time so here are my questions and i hope i can get them answered! Right now im planning on taking the basics or general ed classes then get my B.A in biology since (what i have heard) you need a degree in a science to become a dentist. so thats what im doing right now. Then after that im planning on going to a dental school and continue my education. So to become an anesthesiologist, can i continue the path that on right now but just go onto med school to study to become an anestheisiologist? I really dont want to waste time and i want to do this the correct way from the start. please help me out! im willing to do anything to become something big later on in my life!

Everyone always says I would be good at helping people and i think i would be to. My 5th grade teacher thought i was really smart and told me i could be one. I have all a's but not for Mrs. Apple class but she's hard and i dont think shes that great of uh teacher so i think that shouldnt count. my aunt was one. what do i need to do to be an anesthesiologist? i will take every class i need to do this because i think it would be awesome. i am in algebra 2 right now way ahead of my class. i am not in the best english yet. can i still be an anesthesiologist? if i cant i just want to be another ologist cuz they seem like the coooooooolest jobs!!! cardi -ologist, paleyont -ologist. that last one is cool even though it's old things. thanks too the article writer. A+

Hi my name is Cynthia and for a really ling time I've been trying to decide what to become and in a way my time is up but luckily I have decided to become an important Anestisiologist. Im in my Senior year at High School, I graduate this year and i have a plan. My plan is to go to community college, take my basics,major in biology, then persue into a medical school. The thing is can I still become this even if I go to a community college?? Also im graduating with a minimum credits but i have a gpa of 5.1 do these things get in the way of becoming the person i want to be??What about knowing chemistry, phisics and calculus??? I never took those courses in high school what should I do?? Does that get in the way?? Another thing, a lot of people tell me that I should become a nurse first and from there move up to an anistisiologist, should I really do that?? In a way I feel that by doing that i'll just be waisting my time and will just take longer to become what I want to be, will it??? or it something should do.

Wow!
Well first off I have wanted to do something in the medical field for as long as i can remember. My mother is a neuro nurse of 25 odd years and has had a great impact in my decision.
I started looking at the field of anesthesiology for about a year now. This article has granted me with a lot of information so Thank you to the contributors of this website.

I am 15 years old and a sophomore looking at attending college in about a year or so if anyone has any other information I would greatly appreciate it so send me a email at themuzzy@hotmail.com and let me know. And if your a doctor of anesthesiology feel free to email me and let me know anything that you know that could help me accomplish my dream.

Thanks, Zack

I used to want to be a pathologist until I realized that even though the pay is well, I really do not want to be stuck in a room full of dead people. I am very good in math. I'm a freshman and right now I'm taken Algebra 2 and Biology while most of my friends are taking algebra 1a and Science 1. I do find biology to be a little hard though. Thank you for the information because I can take this job into serious account.

I have been thinking aboutthis position for about two years now, and I am still persueing this. I was woundering what would be the best school in Alabama to go to would be. If anyone who reads this and is in the medical field, who would like to share with me what they think about this position if you would e-mail me @ 4wheelintyler@comcast.net

i need more information.

This information is very helpful and informative, thank you.

Though, I am concerned about the education requirements... Is it accurate, 12 years of medical training? There are several other websites I have visited that stated you required only 4 to 6 years of formal training to accquire the position..

im a third form student at the Bishop gibson high scholl in Manchester,JAmaica in the west indies(Caribbean)im doin a career project and i have an interst in Anesthesiology and i found this website...it is really interestin...i got my info addeed it to ma project and im very glad cuz couldnt get n e information before...this is interestin and I AM DETERMINED TO BECOME AN ANESTHESIOLOGIST NO MATTER WAT!!!! i am praying that n e one who reads this wud be able to help me cuz ma mother cannot afford this expensive education...I WUD BE TRULY TRULY GRATEFUL!!!!!!!!!!

i thik that is info is good

i would like to know what classes u have to take?? Biology?? this site is really good n what college would u recomend?? My email is hailey_turtle46@hotmail.com. thanks=]

Wow what great information! I am also planning on becoming an anesthesiologist. This site showed me things that I didn't know before. Im planning on using what I learned here in a research project im currently doing. It's definitely going to help me greatly in my paper.

Before you decide you want to become any doctor, some of you need to do some major research. Most of you are doing it for the money, the "drama" you think you will endure because of grey's anatomy and other TV shows. explore your options. get to know the profession before you jump into it. you need to be extremely caring and have a passion for medicine. yeah the money is a nice perk, but you should be in it because you yearn to help people. don't forget about all that malpractitioners insurance that you will have to pay. its a highly stressful and demanding job, as well as rewarding. do the research, don't rely on one source.

What should an aspiring anesthesiologist's college major be? Biology?

This is interesting with vital info i would love to become an anesthesiologist and am willing to work hard for it.

I am a 11th grader who is looking to be a anestheiologist when i grow up. I am just so confused to where i go after high school

I am a ninth grader who is really looking forward to be a anesthesiologist when i grow up. I have been looking in the medical feild seeing wich occupation i would like and anestesiology really cought my eye.

I'm only in 7th grade but I'm trying to find out what I want to do. I think this might be it. Now I actually know what an Anesthsiologist is. The information is really good. Whoever wrote this, I give you an A+! I hope I can be this or at least have a good education and eventually a good job after all of that stuff.

well. i will want to be somewhere in the medical field. right now im 14 and in 8th grade..and im trying to choose what i want to be..im doing great in school..well i dont want to lie im not doing so well in math..do you have to be GREAT a math for this job? i googled this site and this site gives alot of good info.

This web site has really opened my eyes and heart. I chose this carrer based on past experiences of people helped by anesthesiologist and this articel gave me a good theral vision of what this career might be like. I may bot be a excellent student but, ehrn it comes down to what i want i will wrok my butt of to complete this difficult but, rewarding proffesion!~ if you have more info for me or you want to discuss this career with me e-mail me to la_chicana2011@hotmail.com

I am in the tenth grade and am having to pick my classes for my junior year of high school. I was wondering what is a bigger part of anesthesia, Biology 2, AP Chemistry, or Physics? and also, my school offers a class called Health Careers. It is mostly about becoming a CNA. I do not want to become a nurse, but would this class still help me in the long run? If anyone can help me (ASAP-i have to turn in my schedule in a month) please e-mail me at hayleyg13@yahoo.com.

Well Im Kathy && Im In The 8th Grade && I Was Wondering Where Is The Best Location To Work As An Anesthesiologist

Well . . . im in 9th with a 4.5 GPA I have to say this site was a life saver! If been toying with the idea of being either and anesthesiologist or pharmacist. My greatest problem however is dealing with blood. Thanks to this site i have a pretty good idea of what i'll be diving into which can only help in my quest.

id also like to know exactly what classes i would need to take. my email is kim101188@msn.com thx

I think that this information will help me in the future thank you for this information.

i really thouht this article helped me since 8th grade i chose this job on carrer day now im in IB in 9th grade and wanted to kno what classes I should take im taking classes ahead of me now im in biology. i know you got this question a lot but if you would help me i would be very greatful thanks!

when i plan in college i want to be an anesthesiologist ( to be honest i was trying to lean how to say anesthesiologist) but yeah i i was watching discovery health channel i i've found some interesting facets about anesthesiologist and stuff and i though it would be nice to be an anesthesiologist.

I wonder how many of the people here just want to be an anesthesiologists just because of t.v. or of the pay check. Sure the money is probably great, but come on, life isn't about money. I want to be an anesthesiologists because I want to take away pain. Sounds cheesy, I know, but its a better reason than money. Rethink ya'll decisions and reasons and ask "Is it really worth it?"
All the school and the work and hours. It is for me.

i want to be a anesthesiologist, so how long do you have to be in collage and medical school? this site is good. email me for any answers @..............

artyomchekmasov@gmail.com

Congrats to whoever wrote the article! After reading this artile I've made up my mind and this is the career I would love to accomplish. This information was extremely useful, however there were some things that were not mentioned. For instance what kind of classes would I have to take and what skills are needed in this field. What kind of mathemathical level is required?



Thank you so much

God Bless You
