Love the honesty here. Could you make a video of what supervising CRNA’s looks like? What are things that you are needed for vs they can do themselves?
my friend moved out from Standford system 3 years ago just because the intense situiation back then. 150K cut down on her income but her mental health has been much better and she actually can have time at least one day fully being around her little kids! you guys are amazing
Thanks for watching and commenting! Each system certainly has it's pros/cons and depending on staffing, can really have a real impact on job satisfaction and burnout. I'm glad your friend found a practice with a better fit -- you only have one life and I think it's so important to prioritize the things that matter (i.e., life outside of the hospital!).
After completing medical school, what specific training or residency programs should I pursue to become an anesthesiologist? Are there any subspecialties or additional certifications within anesthesiology that are beneficial to consider?
Thanks for watching and commenting! In order to practice anesthesiology in the U.S., you must complete a residency in anesthesiology. The type of program is dependent on what your career goals are. There are tons of subspecialties in anesthesia - I practice critical care (that's a subspecialty), but there's also cardiac, pediatric, acute/chronic pain, obstetrics, and even palliative care. Certifications aren't as important in the training process but may become more important during practice.
Thank you for this video! Would you choose anesthesia again if were back in medical school? Or, is there another specialty more fitting in your eyes? I'm struggling to decide between a surgical specialty and anesthesia.
Thanks for watching and commenting! I definitely would choose anesthesia again [thanks for another idea for a quick video in the future]. For most surgical specialties, I think that it'll be really important for you to ask yourself whether you could see yourself doing any other specialty because surgical fields are grueling in a different way from all other specialties. You have to really identify as a surgeon to get through the training and the challenges beyond training. But if that's what you love, then that's that. Good luck!
Don't know if yours viewers would know this, but In Europe each Anesthesiologist is assigned to just 1 room, but there's also anesthesia nurses, which prepare the patient, assist with the drug preparion and administration, and 1intern/resident in teaching Hospitals. The nurses cannot work be responsible for an operating room and although they asssist the anethesiologist they can't administer drugs or change ventilation parameters of their own volition. They cant also perform any invasive procedures like regional anesthesia, intubation arterial lines etc. These are reserved to the physian only.
😂 Gotta know what you're getting into! I'm 5 years out from residency and am not planning on leaving the practice of anesthesia so that's a pretty good sign.

Great idea! I added it to my list of RUclips video ideas to cover!

Well that sucks as studies shows that midlevels are indeed able to administer anesthesia safely
This is a really helpful perspective for me [and my viewers!]. I'm always curious how anesthesia is practiced in other countries.
The pager was a paid actor 😂
Haha true story. 😂
Hi, I’ve been looking into AA. Is there anyway I can shadow you for 8 hours?
Maybe I shouldn't choose anesthesia as a specialty 😂
