Hi there,
I'm an MS3 interested in applying to anesthesiology. So far I've really enjoyed my experience- I like the mix of medicine and procedures, the work-life balance doesn't seem too bad, and from what I've heard the job market is pretty hot right now. Of course, it'll be another five years before I'm looking for a job, so I'm hoping to hear from those of you who have been in the field awhile about your concerns for the future of anesthesiology.
Are residencies out supplying demand (like EM)?
How likely are CRNAs/AAs to obtain more independence over the coming years, and if they do, will the field of anesthesiology become obsolete or will physicians still be preferred providers?
Any other concerns?
