Information specific to Anesthesiology

Anesthesiology requires four years of postgraduate training. Some programs are Categorical, PGY 1-4, 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 2-4 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 a variety of clinical exposures and rotations.
