Sure, if he/she goes to medical school.

An anesthesiologist is a specialized MD. You must attend medical school to become a doctor, there’s no way around it.

Absolutely. It simply requires 4 years of medical school and 4 years of residency, just like every other anesthesiologist has had.

A CRNA would certainly have an advantage in medical school, as much of the physiology and pharmacology would be familiar.

Yep! You just have to have more education so get ready to go back to school.
