Is anesthesia difficult to obtain??

Members don't see this ad.

I ve talked to a few doctors working in the hospital (older doctors, ages 40 to 55 range) and they said that anesthesia is a very easy residency to get.

I ve talked to a few 3rd year medical students who said anesth is becoming a more and more difficult residency to obtain.

I always thought that anesthesia was a little bit more difficult than internal medicine to obtain?

Where does anesth. stand competitiveness wise?

The #1 suggestion: ranking more programs increases your chances of successfully matching. Who would have thought?

Sorry. I'm an ass when I'm sleep-deprived.

So I'm pretty much always an ass.

Nope, a good slug of propofol will make obtaining anesthesia seem pretty damn easy!

FAQ is there for reason.

Back to my Q3 call.

Shouldn't the FAQs parts 1, 2, 3, be first in the list of the stickies? I mean..."Push is coming to shove" is stickied above them?

I don't know how to fix that.
