Program Information Specific to Anesthesiology

Anesthesiology requires four years of postgraduate training. Some programs are Categorical, spanning PGY-1 to PGY-4, with an integrated Internship year. Others require a separate PGY-1 year and are considered Advanced Match, as graduating fourth-year medical students match into a separate internship program, as well as their PGY-2 through PGY-4 Anesthesia program, at the same time. Occasionally, programs may offer a position to Interns currently in their internship, looking to start an Anesthesia Residency the upcoming year, designated as an “R” position. The American Board of Anesthesiology accepts any clinical base year as a PGY-1. Many Anesthesiologists choose between a medical and a surgical intern year. Transitional Year programs are another popular option for internships, as they offer a broad view of various clinical exposures and rotations.

Update for Academic Year 25-26
