Anesthesiology
By Nathan Bickhart Hour 8 Science
Overview of Career
Anesthesiology is giving anesthetics to patents undergoing operations. It involves giving them medicine so that they do not feel the operation.
What do You Need to Succeed
In high school good courses to take are math, science, English, and social studies. Helpful high school courses would include Anatomy and Physiology, Chemistry, Foreign Language (minimum of two years), and Statistics and Probability. For college, some type of medical school or at least a doctorate in medicine is needed.
Cost of Education
A good university to go to that can give you the degree in medicine is Cardinal Stinch university. They cost $35,990 per year in tuition. For me, I would use room and board for the full eight years at the cost of $61,600. That would cover food and shelter. There would be no cost for gas or transportation since I live at campus. Clothing for the entire eight years will be around 1000 dollars. If I stay to cheap clothes it shouldn't be that expensive. The total tuition for the eight years would be $215,220. In total my degree would cost $277,120.
