Athena Malta’s Career Path How to become an Anesthesiologist

My Career Goals I want to become an Anesthesiologist by 2027 To get there, I will need to: Graduate high school by June 2019. Get accepted into UBC Get a Bachelors degree in biology Get accepted into UBC Medical School Get a degree in medical school Get accepted into a residency program in a hospital, and complete the 5 years

What is an Anesthesiologist? An Anesthesiologist is the person in the operating room who induces anesthetics to make the patient feel pain free for a certain amount of time. 1. Assess patients medical history 2. During surgery in OR monitor patient (Blood pressure, Heart rate, E.T.C) 3. Follow up with patient after surgery to make sure they are conscious and okay.

About my future career Anesthesiologist work in a hospital. The salary ranges form $45,000 - $65,000 for residents and $100,000 - $300,000 for general anesthesiologists. General hours per week can range from 60-65. It depends how many surgeries are in one day you can not predict general start and stop times per day

My job has a 0.4% chance of becoming automated This job has a really low chance of being automated because you have to deal with patients daily, think fast and complex under pressure and do paper work.

An anesthesiologist would be great for me because… I am calm and can control my self under pressure. I can also think fast under pressure. I am also really focused when needed.

I am not quite ready for this career, but I will get there! These are skills for the job I still need to learn: This is how I will get those necessary skills: To be patient It will come naturally when I am calm and understand the situation Preform well under pressure Stay calm and collected at all times

This is what appeals to me with this career… I like being busy and in a high paced location because I do not like being bored; I prefer to be really busy. I like to help people feel better when in pain because I am stopping or their hurting an making them feel better. I also like working with surgeons because I don’t get sick or irritated when I am around blood or looking at the inside of a body.

These are some things I find less appealing about this career… I don’t really like how you have really long hours because you don’t get much time to do anything else. I also don’t like to do paperwork which is a smaller part of this job but it still needs to be done.

Potential obstacles to getting this career The possible obstacles: My plan to overcome them: Not being accepted into a residency program. Apply to many hospitals all over BC with residency programs. Not doing well on the specialty exam. Study very very hard for it and make sure that I know everything that is on the test.

Potential obstacles to being successful within this career The possible obstacles: My plan to overcome them: Not many hospitals hiring Senior staff Anesthesiologists.
