Latest anesthesia match statistics. (http://www.asahq.org/NEWSLETTERS) Click on May, 2005. Prior to attending CRNA school, I worked at Tulane with the report's author, Dr. Alan Grogano. Classic British gentleman. Kept a mobil of halothane dangling from his living room ceiling.

Ya know...just as an aside...if anesthesiology is what you want to do with your professional career, why does it matter how competitive is, was or will become? Honestly, I was also heavily focused on this as my match year, 2003, was right at the beginning of the current peak of interest. However, from the other side, no matter how competitive or non-competitive anesthesthia was - I would have chosen to apply for slots. No matter what your scenario, the "best" strategy is essentially the same: earn the highest clerkship grades you can, earn strong LoRs & author a strong PS.

I wish you all the best of luck & success. Yes, anesthesia has become markedly more competitive than it was in the mid-90s, but it is not up there in competiveness w/ neurosurg. So, relax. Besides, you should choose your specialty based upon your professional wants & desires - not upon some abstract matching strategy.

if you are a us md senior applying for anesthesia, you should have little problem matching.

"From 1996-04, the number of non-U.S. allopathic seniors matching into anesthesiology increased from 156 to 303. Continuing this trend, the number rose again this year to 314"

"For six years in a row, behind only U.S. allopathic graduates, the osteopathic graduates have made the greatest contribution to the anesthesiology Match; this year’s total of 124 is nine fewer but close to the total for the previous two years. Among the other non-U.S. allopathic groups, the principal changes are that the number of IMG/non-U.S. graduates rose to 83; the number of IMG/U.S. graduates rose to 58; and the number of sponsored graduates continues to rise and has now reached 45 For six years in a row, behind only U.S. allopathic graduates, the osteopathic graduates have made the greatest contribution to the anesthesiology Match; this year’s total of 124 is nine fewer but close to the total for the previous two years.

I totally understand your feelings of concern. My intent was not to be critical, but hopefully to reassure. I stressed majorly over this & found it to be largely unwarranted.
