Yes, anesthesia is an interesting field. You can work at a hospital and have critically ill patients, or concentrate on more elective procedures at a surgery center.

Early in the educational process, keep an open mind and learn as much as possible. As you get deeper into your studies, you will discover your passion. During years 3 and 4 of med school you will have an opportunity to train with a variety of specialities. Toward the end the 4th year, you will go through a competitive matching process where you are matched based on your preferences and qualifications.

Estelle’s Answer
I am a gynecologist and therefore work with anesthesiologists in surgery. One interesting thing about the field is that the work seems either mundane with routine cases or very stressful with the critically ill patients. In that regard, it may be either exciting or too stressful depending on your personality type. Just something to consider.
