Hey all,

I'm an M3 who's seriously considering applying into Anesthesia next year and was curious whether as a practitioner you get to use your diagnosing skills at all. I'm pretty sure this is what I want to do but this is the last question mark in my mind. I'm debating between Anesthesia and Emergency Medicine but am more drawn towards the former. The only real draw for me to EM is being able to diagnose, but if there's an element of that in Anesthesia, that'd be helpful to know.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
 
Spend some time with the department at your school so you can decide for yourself if the field is something you want to go into.
