Hi everyone!
MS-3 here who's finishing up rotations and recently (and finally) made the decision to pursue anesthesia!![Love Love Love :biglove: :biglove:](/smilies/loveshower.gif)
I was wondering if any residents/attendings/wise MS-4's could elaborate on different career options for anesthesia? I know the rough big picture - academic vs. private, pain management, crit care, etc. However I am interested in learning more about the specifics of different paths in the field.
The reason I am asking is that I think medical students typically get exposure to OR anesthesia in an academic institution, however I am curious what the specialty looks like outside of that setting. I was inspired to ask this question recently when I was discussing IM with a friend (also in med school), and the topic of rounds came up. Long story short, he pointed out that private medicine attendings don't do teaching rounds, and this was mind blowing to me as the daily highlight of the entire past year was rounds on various services. It's so simple but surprising to a MS-3 just coming out of clinical year.
Thanks in advance!
