Creativity lets you think "outside the box" and come up with new solutions to problems. It helps you to understand science better because you can see many different aspects instead of focusing only on one thing. It also allows you to think of new theories and hypotheses for better understanding.

How many years of education to be anesthesiologist?

Asked by Wiki User

The common path to practicing as a physician requires 8 years of education beyond high school and 3 to 8 additional years of internship and residency. All States, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories license physicians. Education and training. Formal education and training requirements for physicians are among the most demanding of any occupation-4 years of undergraduate school, 4 years of medical school, and 3 to 8 years of internship and residency, depending on the specialty selected. A few medical schools offer combined undergraduate and medical school programs that last 6 years rather than the customary 8 years. Premedical students must complete undergraduate work in physics, biology, mathematics, English, and inorganic and organic chemistry. Students also take courses in the humanities and the social sciences. Some students volunteer at local hospitals or clinics to gain practical experience in the health professions. The minimum educational requirement for entry into medical school is 3 years of college; most applicants, however, have at least a bachelor's degree, and many have advanced degrees. There are 146 medical schools in the United States-126 teach allopathic medicine and award a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree; 20 teach osteopathic medicine and award the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree. Acceptance to medical school is highly competitive. Applicants must submit transcripts, scores from the Medical College Admission Test, and letters of recommendation. Schools also consider an applicant's character, personality, leadership qualities, and participation in extracurricular activities. Most schools require an interview with members of the admissions committee. Students spend most of the first 2 years of medical school in laboratories and classrooms, taking courses such as anatomy, biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology, psychology, microbiology, pathology, medical ethics, and laws governing medicine. They also learn to take medical histories, examine patients, and diagnose illnesses. During their last 2 years, students work with patients under the supervision of experienced physicians in hospitals and clinics, learning acute, chronic, preventive, and rehabilitative care. Through rotations in internal medicine, family practice, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, psychiatry, and surgery, they gain experience in the diagnosis and treatment of illness. Following medical school, almost all M.D.s enter a residency-graduate medical education in a specialty that takes the form of paid on-the-job training, usually in a hospital. Most D.O.s serve a 12-month rotating internship after graduation and before entering a residency, which may last 2 to 6 years. A physician's training is costly. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, in 2004 more than 80 percent of medical school graduates were in debt for educational expenses. Licensure and certification. All States, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories license physicians. To be licensed, physicians must graduate from an accredited medical school, pass a licensing examination, and complete 1 to 7 years of graduate medical education. Although physicians licensed in one State usually can get a license to practice in another without further examination, some States limit reciprocity. Graduates of foreign medical schools generally can qualify for licensure after passing an examination and completing a U.S. residency. M.D.s and D.O.s seeking board certification in a specialty may spend up to 7 years in residency training, depending on the specialty. A final examination immediately after residency or after 1 or 2 years of practice also is necessary for certification by a member board of the American Board of Medical Specialists (ABMS) or the American Osteopathic Association (AOA). The ABMS represents 24 boards related to medical specialties ranging from allergy and immunology to urology. The AOA has approved 18 specialty boards, ranging from anesthesiology to surgery. For certification in a subspecialty, physicians usually need another 1 to 2 years of residency. Other qualifications. People who wish to become physicians must have a desire to serve patients, be self-motivated, and be able to survive the pressures and long hours of medical education and practice. Physicians also must have a good bedside manner, emotional stability, and the ability to make decisions in emergencies. Prospective physicians must be willing to study throughout their career to keep up with medical advances. Advancement. Some physicians and surgeons advance by gaining expertise in specialties and subspecialties and by developing a reputation for excellence among their peers and patients. Many physicians and surgeons start their own practice or join a group practice. Others teach residents and other new doctors, and some advance to supervisory and managerial roles in hospitals, clinics, and other settings.

What is a anesthesiologist schedule like?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The anesthesia provider is responsible for keeping the patient anesthetized during surgery and vigilantly monitoring their vital signs, ABCs (airway, breathing, circulation) while the patient is under anesthesia or sedation. They monitor fluid input and output; placing IVs or central lines as necessary to deliver IV fluids, drugs, or blood or blood products during surgery. General anesthesia requires the anesthesia provider to intubate the patient, which is to place a breathing tube through the mouth into the trachea, or "windpipe," which remains in place during surgery. Surgery can be done with general anesthesia, regional anesthesia (spinals, epidurals, or peripheral nerve blocks), or monitored anesthesia care (MAC), which was formerly known as "local [anesthesia] with sedation." The anesthesia provider is responsible for the patient's care during the initial post-operative period in the recovery room. They determine when the patient is ready for extubation (removal of the breathing tube), which is usually -- but not always -- done in the operating room after the patient is awakened from general anesthesia, but before they go to the recovery room (or "PACU," post-anesthesia care unit).

What degree is needed to become an anesthesiologist?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The career outlook for anesthesiologists, as well as physicians and surgeons, is expected to be great because the growing population will need more doctors to fulfill their health care needs. While there are no employment statistics specifically for this specialty, opportunities for physicians will increase 10% - 20% over the next decade. Specialists such as anesthesiologists will experience the greatest rise in employment in response to patient demand for access to specialty care. Technology will also play an important role in the increase in employment in this specialty. As anesthesiologists are able to perform more complex procedures, they will be able to treat conditions that were previously regarded as untreatable

First, there is no such thing as a degree in pre-med. It is a curriculum layout or sometimes known as a track, that prepares students who intend to seek admission to medical schools. It includes activities such as prerequisite coursework, clinical experience, volunteer activities, and research.

While many individuals who pursue a career as a physician major in biology at the undergraduate level, many others come from a variety of other educational backgrounds. You should meet with a career counselor at the college or university you attend for what options exist for you. The important issue is acquiring the appropriate prerequisites required for medical school. The student should have a strong background in the following areas.

  • Biology (cell biology, biology of the organism)
  • Chemistry (inorganic, organic)
  • Physics
  • Communication (written and oral)
  • Higher level math's
  • Computer literacy
  • Development of good critical thinking skills.

How many pies are needed to feed 30 people?

User Avatar

Asked by Herb123

This would depend on the size of the pie. A normal 9-inch pie will generally provide six servings, unless everybody is on a diet, in which case eight servings. So 25 people divided by 6 servings would be five pies, with five slices left over.

Or, you could cut thinner slices and get by with four pies.

A smaller pie of about 6 inches in diameter will provide four servings, so you'd need seven pies.

What does a self employed anesthesiologist do?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Anesthesiologists are physicians of medicine who, after graduating from college with a strong background in physics, chemistry, biology and mathematics obtain a medical doctorate degree after completing four years of medical school. Following medical school, they learn the medical specialty of anesthesiology during an additional four years of post medical school training - one year of internship and three years in an anesthesiology residency program.


During the first year, anesthesiologists must complete training in diagnosis and treatment in other areas of medicine - such as internal medicine, neurology, obstetrics, pediatrics or surgery - or complete a rotating internship where they spend an equal amount of time training in each of the other areas of medicine. Today's anesthesiologists then spend three intensive years of training in anesthesiology learning the medical and technical aspects of the specialty. In addition, they may further specialize in a subspecialty, such as neurosurgical anesthesiology, by completing one to two more years in a subspecialty-training program.


Today's anesthesiologists are innovators in their field, continuing a long tradition of advancing the practice of modern medicine. Even after residency training is completed, they continue studying new medical advances and anesthetic techniques, so that every patient experience can be safer than the next. They specialize in cardiology, critical care medicine, internal medicine, pharmacology and surgery to be able to fulfill their role in modern medicine.
