To become an anesthesiologist requires many years of education. After four years in college to earn an undergraduate degree, the prospective anesthesiologist must attend four years of medical school to earn a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree. He or she must then complete another four years of training in an accredited anesthesia residency program. The physician may then complete another one or two years in a subspecialty of anesthesia such as obstetrical anesthesia, cardiac anesthesia, pediatric anesthesia, or pain management.
Board Certification:
After completing the above training, many anesthesiologists become a "Diplomate of the American Board of Anesthesiology" (D.A.B.A) or "Board Certified". To become "Board Certified" by the American Board of Anesthesiology, the anesthesiologist must complete a minimum of 12 years of study in accredited programs as noted above. He or she must then pass a rigorous written and oral exam. Only after the physician has successfully completed these education requirements and passed these difficult exams is he considered a "Diplomate of the American Board of Anesthesiology".
Some anesthesiologists complete similar requirements to become certified in their subspecialty as well, such as Pain Management Certification. When an anesthesiologist completes his formal training, but has not completed the certification exam process, he or she is considered "Board Eligible". For more information, visit The American Board of Anesthesiology or The American Society of Anesthesiologists online.
