Question
Hi. My name is Arshaela Bailey and I want to have a career in becoming an anesthesiologist.  I am in the eleventh grade this year, and i don't know what classes to take.  I was wondering if i could skip the four college classes and go straight into an anesthesiology program.  I really don't want to get out of school at the age of 29.

Answer
Hi there
I am Uk based and so I have no knowledge of your system. You can look at the past answers for my American colleague Dr Levy or ask hin your question. His past answers can be found here
