What are the Requirements to Become an Anesthesiologist? An anesthesiologist is a physician that deals with pain management and works in operating rooms with surgical patients by administering drugs, monitoring the patient's vitals, such as heart rate, body temperature, and blood pressure. Anesthesiologists offer both local and general anesthesia. While general anesthesia puts a patient to sleep during a major surgery, local anesthesia numbs sensation in a particular area. For many individuals, an anesthesiologist helps with pain management for chronic conditions. The anesthesiologist has become a vital aspect in hospitals and pain management both in and out of the operating room. Educational Requirements to Become an Anesthesiologist Anesthesiologists are required to be licensed medical doctors, meaning they must have completed four years of medical school after earning a bachelor's degree. Most aspiring anesthesiologists take classes in science, biology, and chemistry while earning a bachelor's degree. The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is required for admission to medical school. In medical school, your coursework might include advanced science and math as well as anatomy and subjects specific to your specialization. After graduating from medical school, you must complete a residency--a paid period of supervised on-the-job training. Once you complete your residency, you are required to be board certified. The American Board of Anesthesiology examines and certifies physicians to practice. Licensure and certification requirements depend upon your state's practices. Most states require continuing education to renew licensure. Check with your state's medical board to learn about requirements to become an anesthesiologist.
