What is the average salary of an anesthesiologist?

Answer 1

It varies widely, depending on factors such as whether a state university or private institution is attended; whether scholarship funds are present or absent; and whether or not loans are made use of.

In any case, payment for 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, and 4-5 years of residency training (in anesthesiology) would be required.

Answer 2

Anesthesiologists may be salaried by a hospital or clinic and/or receive compensation on an hourly rate.

In 2009, the median expected salary for a typical Physician - Anesthesiology in the United States is $292,045. (see also related link)

Depending on experience, the actual position, and the location, hourly compensation can range from about $70 to $100 USD up to as much as $300 to $500 USD.

Answer 3

You need 4 yrs college, 4 yrs medical school and 4 yrs anesthesiology training (although you get paid for these last 4 years). If you don't get scholarships you can expect to pay anywhere from $30,000 to over $100,000 depending on whether you get into a state school, etc. There is no way to predict the cost (but it isn't cheap).

Answer 4

You generally must have a BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) degree before being able to move on to a Masters in Nursing Anesthesia Program. All programs will differ a little but most require the following: 1. Current Registered Nursing License 2. Bachelor of Science in Nursing 3. 2 years of recent ICU RN experience 4. A GPA of 3.0 or higher 5. Some require Organic Chemistry or BioChemistry course work Most programs are about 30 months long and are quite intensive not leaving much time for family, work and other obligations. The rewards are great though. The starting pay is aroung $120,000 or more right out of school. You can also find jobs with great hours (M-F 8am-4pm).

Answer 5

complete high school

complete college with excellent grades

complete 4-years of medical school

match into an anesthesiology program (4-years duration)

To start with, you should know that an anesthesiologist is a physician--a medical specialist who makes all the medical decisions about anesthetizing a patient for surgery and who is responsible for the safety and well-being of the patient. This includes maintaining the patient in a state of controlled unconsciousness (while under general anesthesia), providing pain relief and monitoring the patient's critical life functions (breathing, heart rate and heart rhythm, blood pressure, body temperature) as they are affected throughout surgical, obstetrical or other medical procedures.

Remember, though, that the anesthesiologist's role also extends beyond the operating room. First, the anesthesiologist is responsible for the preoperative ("before surgery") assessment of the patient, making medical judgments about what the best anesthesia plan is for that individual based on his or her current health, what medications they are taking, the type of surgery, etc. The anesthesiologist also is responsible for the well-being of the patient postoperatively ("after surgery") while the person emerges from the effects of the anesthesia. In addition, anesthesiologists use their expertise in intensive care units to help stabilize critically ill or critically injured patients. And they are often involved in the management of acute postoperative pain, chronic pain and cancer pain; in cardiac and respiratory resuscitation; in blood transfusion therapies; and in respiratory therapy.

The medical specialty of anesthesiology involves many aspects of patient care and includes many challenges, diversity, flexibility and rewards. We asked one anesthesiologist mid-career, "What has been most rewarding about your job as an anesthesiologist? He said, "Through the work I do in helping people survive trauma like a car accident or get well from an illness like cancer or a heart attack, I know that I have personally saved 700 people who otherwise would have died. That is incredibly rewarding!"

In answer to the question, "How does someone become an anesthesiologist?"-- here's a summary: In high school, students can prepare for a medical career by concentrating on the advanced science classes such as Biology and chemistry. Get involved in many activities and stretch yourself educationally. Consider extra training on computers and in learning a second language, possibly Spanish. Consider volunteering at a hospital where you will be able to see firsthand what it's like to work around health care professionals, helping many people who need their help.

We are also asked from time to time whether there is currently a demand for anesthesiologists and how much an anesthesiologist earns. First, as long as there is a demand for surgery and relief from pain, there will continue to be a need for qualified anesthesiologists because of their unique qualifications and medical expertise. The number of surgeries has been on the rise in recent years, totaling more than 40 million a year, and is almost evenly split between surgeries in hospitals and in outpatient facilities. Regarding how much anesthesiologists earn, our organization does not have that information. We ask our members many things--about how they practice, where they practice, what kind of practice they have--but we don't ask them how much they make.

Some people also want to know what are the fears, stress factors and emotional involvement connected with being an anesthesiologist. Anesthesiologists need to rise early in the morning. During internship and residency, trainees work 12-hour, 12-hour and 24-hour days in cycles. Real-world anesthesiologists probably average 10-12 hour days with night call every four to five days. To be a fine anesthesiologist, one has to be able to remain vigilant for many hours. Yes, it can be stressful, but many jobs have the stress without the rewards. Being a doctor has many rewards. Anesthesiologists have a short-term but intense relationship with their patients: calming them before surgery, getting them through surgery safely and without pain, and making sure they have recovered enough to go home or be admitted to a regular hospital floor. Their "thank-yous" and smiles make it all worthwhile.

Anesthesiology Salaries

Less than a century ago, surgical procedures were incredibly limited by the pain management methods of the day. Ether could be used to sedate patients for surgery, but it was difficult to administer and had a huge potential for brain damage. As time has passed, new pharmaceutical developments and greater understanding of the human body have led to tremendous advances in anesthesiology. However, due to the risk involved in depressing a person's nervous system, anesthesiology still remains a tremendously delicate and difficult practice. On average, anesthesiologists take about 12 years to finish medical school and residency (view Anesthesiology Salaries by School Name to compare medical schools and their effect on anesthesiologist salary). Anesthesiologists are involved in patient care long before the anesthetic is actually administered; they collect extensive patient histories and blood work before the operation, examine the patient thoroughly, and often are involved in patients' post-operative recovery. This peri-operative care, combined with the delicate nature of the work and the patient risk associated with it, make anesthesiology one of the highest-pressure, highest-stress areas of medical practice. Anesthesiology salaries are, correspondingly, among the highest. Comparing PayScale's anesthesiology salary data with average physician salaries and see for yourself.

Anesthesiologist Salary Data

While average anesthesiologist salary is above the $200,000 mark, there are a variety of elements that can raise or lower an anesthesiologist's salary. For example, Pennsylvania is a hot spot for high anesthesiology salary: it's one of the highest on the Average Anesthesiologist Salary by State chart, and Philadelphia has one of the highest Anesthesiology Salaries by City. Measuring anesthesiology salary by degree, we can see that anesthesiologists with M.D.s earn the most; research nurse anesthetist salaries to compare salaries in anesthesiology with and without a degree.

Answer 6

There are no standard tuition and fee rates for colleges and universities. Each institution will have rates particular to itself. There are a number of variables to consider to include whether the institution is public or private, the geographical location, the specific program of study (some of which have greater course and/or clinical fees), and whether the school is a two year or four year institution. Once you collect the names of some colleges and universities you have an interest in, you can then research the cost specific to those institutions.

Answer 7

Well, anesthesiologists get paid about 200 dollars an hour, and if you have your PH.d, then you get paid about 300 dolloars an hour, totaling up to about 1.57 million a year.

Answer 8

In the United States the average salary for an anesthesiologist is $190,000. It is reported to range from $143,000 to $380,000. This amount will differ depending on the state and hospital.
