About the job:

Anesthesiologists need secure communication, leadership, problem-solving, and organizational skills, and they must be both detail-oriented and patient.

Additionally, anesthesiologists must possess extensive medical knowledge and be able to use specialized medical equipment and computer software.

Anesthesiologists work closely with medical surgeons and other physicians to formulate a treatment plan before, during, and after a surgical procedure. Standing for long periods during surgeries in a sterile environment is often required.

Scope:

The best opportunities are available to people who have graduated from the Anesthesia Universities in Bangalore, Delhi, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Chennai, etc.

The MBBS is a four-year course taken by medical and surgery candidates and usually includes a bachelor’s degree, an MD in Anesthesiologist (done degree), and a hospital residency program. Since it also takes time to obtain a bachelor’s degree and master’s degree, training as an anesthesiologist can take between 6 and 7 years. 

Anesthetists can specialize in a particular field such as neurosurgical anesthesiology and can undergo further training in this area.
