QUESTION: OKAY!These days i am in PAKISTAN doing O level as in completing my high school i just want you to tell me that is it necessary for me to do my college in America or some other state OR should i just stay here for my A levels from ROOTS school. And how much time does it take to be anesthesiologist after my high school?

Answer
If you want to attend medical school in the states it is probably better to do your college here as well. You need 4 yrs of college, 4 yrs of medical school and then 4 yrs of anesthesiology residency before you become an anesthesiologist.
