coffeeovertea Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Hi all! For someone interested in applying to anesthesia, is research in the same field required, or is research in any field good enough? Thanks~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edict Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 why do you ask? and good enough to match to a competitive location or anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlkhhylyiluh6 Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 like all specialities, I assume it goes relevant research > non-relevant research > no research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerkshipgunner Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Would also like to know this - how commonly do applicants to anesthesia have research in the field? Seems like it is getting more and more competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garlic Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 This is anecdotal of course, but my gf is an anesthesia resident and she says it's VERY common to see people decide on anesthesia in third year or even early fourth year. The programs know that not a lot of med students are aware of the specialty's scope until they've rotated through it. As beeboop said, relevant research is always better. But don't sweat it if you can't get something impressive done in time for carms. You have a fair shot if you read up on drugs, help set up the equipment, know cardio + resp physiology, and are pleasant to sit next to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
