Career: Anesthesiologist
Job Description
What duties do people in this career have?
What skills do they have?
Without anesthesiologist, surgery would be impossible. Anesthesiologists are doctors who administer the drugs or gases that prevent patients from feeling any pain or sensation during surgery. But that’s not all that these specialists do. They are responsible for the well-being of the patient before, during, and after surgery.

3 to 4 year bachelor's degree then medical school for 4 years. Those who want to be anesthesiologists must then undertake a 3 to 4-year residency program in anesthesia. Residencies are periods of practical, on-the-job training, which take place in hospitals or other medical settings. Applicants must have an excellent academic record, high scores on the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), and letters of recommendation from teachers and advisors. Medical schools also consider things like character, leadership qualities, and extracurricular activities when making admissions decisions. A good program would be to get into a medical program in high school or even in college.

This is a tough career to get into. It takes a lot of schooling and I don't even know if I may get into medical school. I think I would want to complete the education and training necessary to work in this career because I want to be in the medical field. This career has caught my eye since I heard about what they do. It sounds like an important job to me. But I am not quite certain about the long hours. If I want to have a family, how will I raise my children, but have to leave during the night for shifts? So I believe my answer is undecided, for now.
