Anesthesiology Physicians provide anesthesia care for a variety of surgical procedures including general, orthopedic, neurological, vascular, trauma, obstetric, gastrointestinal, and endocrine surgeries. They work primarily in hospital settings, often on 10 to 12-hour shifts with on-call duties for emergent care. Board certification and relevant licensure are required, along with life support certifications and proficiency in electronic medical records systems such as ICARE and EPIC.
