The career field I am studying is anesthesiology. The reason I am studying anesthesiology is so I can learn about a possible future career field for me. I choose anesthesiology because it seems to be an interesting career choice. It seems like it would be cool to be one. That is the reason I am writing this paper to so if I would be interested in becoming an anesthesiologist.
Attempts at anesthesia have been around since people have been preforming surgery, no matter how primitive. Early anesthetics were soporifics or narcotics, these dull the senses and induce sleep. A few of the early anesthetics were belladonna a type of plant, alcohol, marijuana, jimsonweed, mandrake, and opium. While all of these gave some pain relief, none of them guarantee sedation. There has also been attempts to use hypnosis to make people fall asleep. By the 1840’s there was two regularly used anesthetics, opium and alcohol. The only bad thing about both of these is they had negatives to go along with the positives. Two of these negatives were addiction, and neither of them could typically completely dull the pain. If you took doses big enough to get the full affect could just as easily kill you. But this all changed when Dr. William Morton soaked a sponge with ether and put it over his patient’s mouth and nose which made him unconscious. When the patient woke he said he had no memory of the surgery and felt no pain. This discovery changed the world of anesthetics forever.
There is about thirty-thousand anesthesiologist employed in the United States. An employment trend is expected to go up 18 percent by 2022.because of this growth trend there is an expected increase of one hundred twenty three thousand three hundred jobs in this career field by 2022. ...

.... There is also the problem of the long work hours. You could just have worked a long twelve hour shift then get called back in because of an emergency. For most jobs that won’t happen. Also anesthesiologist work up to ninety hours a week most jobs you only work about 45 hours a week. Then if you get a job at like a surgical place you wouldn’t have to have those really long hours, but most surgical places like that want experienced workers so you would more than likely have to start out in a hospital where you have to work those long hours. This is going to be a hard decision to make on whether I want to pursue this career. I don’t think I would still want to do this career after my research it takes a long time to get the training and you have to work long hours. I think I would rather try a career with less training and not such long hours.
...ortant role in this shortage because if they reconstruct and formulate policies to accept and graduate more students specializing in anesthesiology, it will significantly reduce the shortfall of anesthesiologists. Lastly, the Canadian government needs to recruit more and retain enough anesthesiologists to meet the needs of its population. Instead of the government ignoring the issue, it should see this as an opportunity to dedicate its efforts to construct a good health care system which will result in healthier Canadians. This will not take only the efforts of the government but also the efforts of hospitals, maternity care providers, healthcare and professional liability insurers, consumers, and policymakers. With the use of future-planning in government policies it will mitigate this short-fall of anesthesiologists and prevent it from occurring in the long-run.
The first question I expect to be asked by every interviewer is "why anesthesiology now?" In 2012, after 6 years of post-graduate training, I was thrilled and elated to finally became a board-certified pediatric hematologist/oncologist. Three years later, I am ready to go back to residency. Pediatric hematology/oncology was one of my earliest rotations as a third year medical student and I fell in love with the pathology and, of course, the kids. After that rotation, I, perhaps naively, didn 't give much thought to other specialties and focused solely on pediatrics, going on to complete my pediatrics residency at the University of Michigan, followed by fellowship at the University of Colorado. Now, three years after my transition into post-training practice, I have come to realize the realities of pediatric specialized medicine are not what I expected when I chose this career.
While doing my observations, at the outpatient and inpatient settings, I confirmed this is a career suited for my personality and abilities, where you get to teach patients how to recover and start from the beginning, and
Ever since I was younger, I wanted to get into the medical field. Both my grandmothers used to work in the hospital and I would always wanted to tag along. Following them to work influenced my decision to work in a hospital. Every time I tag along, I would see many interesting things that would catch my attention and make me curious. There was a lot of materials such as the stethoscope, weighing machine, and etcetera that I would pretend to be a doctor or nurse examining imaginary people. It was absolutely perfect because I always wanted to help people. So this fall of 2014, I will be starting my education on becoming a nurse anesthetist.
First I would like to state that any career in a medical field takes a lot of dedication and many hours studying and it is not for everyone. I would also like to say once an individual has made a career out of it the job has long hours and can be very stressful, so I suggest readers to not consider a career in medicine unless you are genuinely interested in the work, and are not in it just for the money.
The idea of taking care of someone and providing assistance to a complete stranger is something not many people do. Seeing people at their worst, during a difficult, challenging and frightening moment of their life is not a job many people would take. However, being there for a person at their time of need is what captivates me the most. Nursing, a career I want to pursue and one that is on my to-do list. Being a nurse entails a lot of things; you must be strong, passionate, hardworking, and caring. Becoming a nurse is my ultimate career goal. In the long term a clear-cut decision would be to further continue my education and become an Nurse Anesthetist with a Master's degree.
...diatrician is what I really want, and I know that with some hard work I can do it.
Out of hundreds of thousands of different jobs available in the country, the attractiveness of Anesthesiology has caught my attention. Ever since discovering the career and its rigorous requirements, I have been trying my hardest to achieve it. To become an Anesthesiologist requires dedication, responsibility and passion and I believe I acquire those assets. It requires demanding education and many years of pure dedication to have this occupation. University of Central Florida provides this requirement to become an Anesthesiologist, so I have decided to meticulously try my hardest to be admitted to this university.
I consider anesthesiology as a unique area in healthcare requiring specialized skills and knowledge. An anesthesiologist assistant career involves working as a trained non-physician anesthesia provider in cooperation with and under the supervision of an anesthesiologist. Activities include health history taking, carrying out care plans for anesthesia, preoperative physical examination, administering medication, supervising recovery and other responsibilities as assigned by the anesthesiologist. An admission into the anesthesiology assistant program would provide me with the advanced education and prerequisite clinical training that would enable me participate in these patient care roles. I am aware that the training programs for anesthesiology assistants are comparatively few as compared to many other healthcare career options. An admission into an anesthesiology assistant program would represent for me an invaluable opportunity to enter into a unique and challenging area in healthcare, and one in which I am very eager to participate
...ing education courses and renew certification. When they are considered competent enough to deliver anesthesia, they must also be able to deal effectively with the daily changes and challenges that a hospital environment can create. They must also be able to “stomach” many types of sense triggers. Although they are one of the top paid nursing practices, they have to endure stress throughout their whole career, starting with the educational aspects.
It is predicted that in ten years the job availability will increase by 31% (“Anesthesiologist” 1) There are 170,400 jobs available as a nurse practitioner in the United States as of 2014 (1). The reason why there is such a high demand for this career is because new practices, hospitals, and doctors offices are always opening. Also, there is a regular need for a trained medical professional to assist. The top employers for this field are general, medical, and surgical hospitals with 1,458,520 nurses hired (“Top” 1). The best area with the highest salary for nurse practitioners is in the Metropolitan area, which receives more than $100,000 a year. However, nurse practitioners and family nurse practitioners make an average of $98,190 a year, but it can vary widely depending on a variety of factors” (“Salaries” 1). Then, if one wants to specialize in a nurse practitioner career they make a reasonable amount more. For example, a Certified Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) makes an average annual salary of $157,140 (1). This career has the potential of making extremely great money, one just has to work for
My future career goal is to become an anesthesiologist. An anesthesiologist administers an anesthetic to patients before going into surgery. They also have to keep monitor of vital life signs and make sure everything in the body is functioning properly while under the anesthetic. I think being an anesthesiologist is something I’d enjoy being because I like being in control. I like making sure people are okay and that is specifically what anesthesiologists do; they make sure the patient can’t feel any pain and is comfortable during surgery.
Given these points its is easily shown that an anesthesiologist is not only highly educated in medicine and the human body but as well as in the ability to interact with others and deal with with his or her patients emotions and reactions. Anesthesiologists hold a very important position in the medical field. The general public needs anesthesiologist not only during surgeries but in dentistry, birth, and plastic abscission. With modern medicine advancing everyday, who knows in what other fields society we will need them.
With so many jobs in the world it’s so hard to choose just one. Do you want to be an athlete or a doctor? You have to decide wisely because once you choose turning back is a difficult task. Being a surgeon is the job I want to have as an adult. Being a surgeon may be hard but in the long run it’s worth it. This career caught my attention as a kid. I would always watch these ER shows and see these crazy tasks that they would have to deal with, and through all that they’d be calm and collective. Seeing a surgeon save someone’s life inspires me to want to do the same thing. If I would have the ability to save someone’s life, it would allow me to see the world in a whole new way. Every year more than 15 million people in the U.S. have surgery. That being said the need for surgeons will never decrease, as there always will be a surgery to perform. A surgeon is always on call everyday of the year, they need to be able to perform under some of the most pressures situations. Five things one must understand when researching a career are: career description historical perspective, salary, training and education and career progression.
