Anesthesiologists
Administering or supervising anesthetics in the Army directly overlaps with civilian anesthesiology practice.
How to prepare: Ask the target state's medical board to review your medical education, specialty residency, and examination record against its licensure requirements, then confirm anesthesia credentialing expectations with prospective employers. All states require physician licensure, but requirements vary by state.
What the civilian work involves
- Administer anesthetic or sedation during medical procedures, using local, intravenous, spinal, or caudal methods.
- Monitor patient before, during, and after anesthesia and counteract adverse reactions or complications.
- Record type and amount of anesthesia and patient condition throughout procedure.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
