I'm currently a 3rd year med student, and right now I'm very interested in pursuing a career in anesthesia. My question for the residents and attendings out there is where do you see the specialty going over the next say 30 years in light of the increaseing prevalence of CRNA's and ever changing healthcare environment. Will MD anesthsiologists maintain their intimate role in patient care or will they become managers overseeing a team of CRNA's? Will it become necassary to pursue fellowship training to ensure that you are in demand and able to pursue a good living? If you had it to do over again would still go into anesthesia or would look more closely at other specialties? Thanks.
P.S. I'm going to school in VA but I'm a native Californian, and I would eventually like to practice in CA. Can anyone tell me how CA is compared to other states as far as the use of CRNA's and any other pertinent info regarding anestheia?
