What are the steps to becoming an anesthesiologist?!


Question: What are the steps to becoming an anesthesiologist?
I am a Junior in High School, and I want to be an anesthesiologist, my GPA is 3.5
What should I do after I graduate HS to become one?

Answers:

During the remainder of your high school education, continue with your good study habits. Your participation in advanced science classes, including biology and chemistry, will also be beneficial for a medical career.

Upon entering college, choose a major that interests you. In addition, you will need to complete the required pre-med courses. Following four years of college and four years of medical school, you will have earned a degree as an allopathic (M.D.) or osteopathic (D.O.) physician.

As a physician, you will need to complete a four-year anesthesiology residency to become an anesthesiologist. After completing an anesthesiology residency, some anesthesiologists have additional training (called a fellowship) in a specific area of anesthesiology. These specialty areas include cardiac anesthesia, critical care medicine, obstetric anesthesia, pain medicine and/or research.
