anesthesiologist

Anesthesiologist

Duties and Responsibilities: Are the physicians trained to administer and manage anesthesia given during a surgical procedure. They are also responsible for managing and treating changes in your critical life functions - breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure - as they are affected by the surgery being performed. Further, they immediately diagnose and treat any medical problems that might arise during and immediately after surgery. Prior to surgery, the anesthesiologist will evaluate the patient's medical condition and formulate an anesthetic plan which takes that patient's physical condition into account. It is vital that the anesthesiologist knows as much about your medical history, lifestyle, and medications as possible.

Salary: $350,554

Education: The profession requires at least a bachelor’s degree with an emphasis in the sciences such as chemistry and biology. If possible, students should attend an accredited college or university with a good science or pre-med program. This is a competitive field and excellent academics are required for entry into medical programs. The required GPA for many institutions is 3.0, although applicants may find that they need a minimum of 3.4 in order to get accepted. Students preparing for graduate school should take the GRE or MCAT. Depending upon the school, one of these pre-admission tests is required. (Either test can be retaken to achieve a higher score.)Apply to an accredited school that grants anesthesiologist assistant degrees. The American Academy of Anesthesiologist Assistants lists the ten or so schools that offer a master’s program in this area. Programs offering a Master’s of Science in Nursing (MSN) in anesthesia are completely different, requiring a Bachelor’s Degree in nursing prior to admission. Prospective anesthesiologist assistants should talk to the school’s career counselor advisory at every level of education in order to avoid costly mistakes. The AA program takes a full 24 months to complete, and only full-time study is allowed. The program itself is rigorous and requires long, demanding hours, especially during the clinical component. Didactic and clinical classes may be scheduled seven days per week on occasion. The two years of this program afford students only a limited number of short, scheduled breaks.

Reflection: I don’t think me can be an anesthesiologist  because you need study so much and when I study I don’t want study much and many years, while you need since of high school start to study because need many knowledge.
