Anesthesiology or Radiology

Paper Summary:

This paper investigates the medical specialties of anesthesiology and radiology. The author reviews the required training and opportunities of both fields as well as why she is interested in these specialties. To the author, anesthesiology is a fascinating field because of the ability to provide pain relief; whereas, radiology is appealing because it is at the cutting edge of medical technology. The author concludes that, because both disciplines can be applied across so many areas of medicine, they represent an incredible opportunity to gain tremendous knowledge about the body and its systems, more so than in some narrower specialties.

From the Paper:

"The training that is required of a future anesthesiologist takes place in a four-year residency program. Because the field is applied to so many individual areas of medicine, the program of study will be comprehensive and multidisciplinary. Throughout the program, I expect to learn and perform multiple blocks each day, as hands-on experience is critical to becoming a qualified anesthesiologist. I expect extensive training on a simulator as well to further build my experience level."
