While I’m sure this could be a great career choice, do consider the amount of money that wil be put towards insurance. Anesthesiologist endure alot of risk in their daily work, you know, bringing someone down to the brink of death with drugs… their insurance costs are extremely high.

Physican assistants are hot items on the job market, too.

I’m an anesthesiologist. The link below is for the web site for the American Society of Anesthesiologists.

You need the MB BS qualification and then, once you have that, you do post graduate courses and training jobs. So what do you need? Anything that’s going to get you into medical school especially maths, biology, chemistry or physics. However there’s so much competition for places, you’ve got to have more than top grades to get in. By the time you apply to medical school, they’ll assume that you are more than capable of doing the study (you and every other person who applies for a place) so you’ve got to make sure you have plenty of other things such as voluntary work, community roles etc, to offer the medical school in addition to high scores in as many science subjects as possible.

Saying all that, you might also find that some medical schools will offer you a shortened MB BS course if you already have a degree in another discipline – apparently heaps of people here with IT degrees are quitting the IT industry in order to undertake the shortened medical degree.

There are anesthesiological assistants but they’ll require the same background.

In any case, get good grades, do volunteer work at hospitals and go for it!
