Anesthesiologists work at hospitals, clinics and private practices as part of a patient’s medical or surgical team. Some Anesthesiologists work at teaching hospitals where they instruct medical interns, residents and fellows on best practices through hands-on training and mentorship. Anesthesiologists can specialize in a particular field, such as pediatric anesthesiology or chronic pain treatment. Anesthesiologists meet with a patient before surgeries and discuss their care plan which can include administering local or general anesthesia using injections or intravenous lines. They decide the level of sedation a patient needs and determine when to start and stop treatment to keep them safe.
