Physician anesthesiologists have undergone the most rigorous training in anesthesia, taking care of the sickest patients and handling medical emergencies on a regular basis.

Physician anesthesiologists complete between 12,000-16,000 hours of clinical training focused on anesthesia care and responding to surgical complications and emergencies.
