Does anyone know how many go out into general practice vs fellowship?

Nowadays, many do fellowships, then practice general anesthesiology.

Most anesthesia fellowships are unnecessary.

Couldn’t agree more. 6-9 months of electives (If high volume) dedicated in whichever subspecialty you’re pursuing is more than adequate for private practice

People forget you learn things after residency

I think our local graduating residency class has a 100% fellowship rate this year.

My residency had about 60-70% pursuing fellowship year to year.

I more talking about how many are practicing GA vs another subspecialty

 

[thetoddJR]

Our residency has 20% doing fellowship, the rest got great PP jobs

Fellowship is important for those who wish to move outside their residency state/bubble, especially if their program isn't renowned or that well known.
