Even before I started medical school, I was hoping and dreaming of becoming a surgeon. I worked with surgeons and anesthesiologists in a level 1 trauma center for a year before I started school, and I loved the stressful situations, the communication skills you develop, the general "type of...

Saw this post on Reddit. Confessions of a Cedars Sinai Anesthesiologist: behind the sterile curtain As an anesthesiologist, we are commonly faced with a complex balancing act of managing multi-faceted patients, personalities and ever changing dynamics both in and outside the operating room. We...

Hello, I know with time and PanDeMiC things have probably changed, what are the top cardiac anesthesia fellowships? Looking to help guide future applicants that want the best training. Unfortunately, there isn't much information anymore on this on SDN or in general. Thanks in advance.

I am morally obligated to warn others about UT Houston’s malignant anesthesiology program. The malignant faculty do check these forums. So, naturally, they will try to negate what I say, but I hope student doctors will hear my message. Malignant in the past, malignant currently, and will be...

M2 here pretty sold so far on going for anesthesia from my interactions with the faculty and anesthesiologists outside academics. I have a buddy applying to anesthesiology this year and telling me that interviews are scarce across his class for the specialty. I'm wondering what I should be doing...

Most physicians, whether procedural or clinical, can scale their practices. Surgeons can hire surgical PA and clinic PAs to operate and see more patients. Psychiatrists can employ a dozen NPs and therapists to significantly increase revenue and sign charts from a beach. Do anesthesiologists...

Stats: MD 228 step 1 (oof I know) 260 step 2 AOA Mostly honors in clerkships I'm having trouble deciding how many programs I should apply to. If that step 1 was out of the equation I don't think I'd be asking this question.. but unfortunately it is and given my other stats I don’t know how...

Wanted to start a thread to post about jobs that turned out to be essentially a scam. For example, I recently responded to a posting from gasworks. Group was "looking for 1 anesthesiologist" was advertising a competitive salary. I responded, touched base, and even did a site visit...

Hi, I am currently in a US anesthesiology residency with possible plans for fellowship afterwards. While my hope is to work in the US after training, I have personal reasons that make me want to keep the option open of moving to the UK (where I am allowed to live and work) in the future. From...

Hey SDN! I'm a 4th year DO student from an established DO school applying anesthesiology this year and was pretty bummed when I received my step 2 score back. I'm wondering how much my drop in step 2 will affect my application and if I should apply to a backup specialty. Fortunately, I was able...

Looking for a study partner for CA1- ITE. Please reach out to me those who are interested.

I just graduated from undergrad, and I'm taking a glide year for financial purposes. I want to keep studying and learning, and I'm thinking about buying some books to read (physiology, anesthesiology, general medicine). Does anyone have any suggestions for me? All are welcome!

How many months of anesthesia do you recommend for pgy-1 as a TY? How about other useful electives? Extra month of cardiology, IM Wards or IM clinic? Or should I go for easier electives like radiology, derm, rheum, non-surgical ortho to study for Step 3? Thanks in advance

Hi all: I was browsing looking for some VSAS information and found a thread like this from the previous cycle. I thought now would be a good time to get a new one started as programs are opening and apps are sent out. I'm hoping this can be a place for people to post their accept/reject/stats...

Hi guys last year I took the SOE and OSCE. Unfortunately I did not pass the OSCE part. Based on them I failed in the non technical parts of the OSCE. Informed consent, the QI, etc. US and diagnostic station I did great. My point is that I really don't know what else to do for this OSCE. I...

After a great deal of soul-searching and deliberation, I've finally decided on anesthesiology as my specialty of choice. However, I have little idea of how competitive I given my stats. I've looked over the NRMP match outcomes, and it appears as though I have a decent chance at anesthesia. What...

I realize that nobody has all the answers with regard to the future of the practice of anesthesia, but "perioperative" is a buzzword that almost always shows up in the conversation as a possible area of expansion. I just can't figure out what this actually entails. What are some practical, day...

I'm a CA1 at a midwest program. I just recently did my first OB rotation, and I really loved it. I know that our OB department is rather odd in that there does not seem to great communication b/w the OBs and the anesthesia, and is overall slightly dysfunctional. I was hoping that some ppl...

Hey all, Just wanted to get a thread started for all of us applying right now. Feel free to share any info you have on programs! Anyone interview at UPenn, UCLA, Michigan, OHSU or Vandy yet? Have limited time and I can't interview at all of them, so I was wondering if anyone had any feedback...

Canadian IMG, did school in Europe. PGY3 applying for Critical Care training in USA. My question is, can I work in Canada as an Intensivist after completing fellowship in USA, or will I have to do extra training? Wondering if it is worth doing CC fellowship here if I can't even do CC in Canada...
