Question
Hello,
I currently have a BS in psychology but am looking for a career change. Anesthesiology has always been an interest. I am wondering where to begin. I work full time and am wondering if, in your opinion,online classes would work for the required classes I would need.
Thank you
Erin
You would need to take all the prerequisite courses for medical school along with the MCAT exams. After applying and getting into medical school, you would spend 4 yrs there and then 4yes in anesthesia residency. Online classes probably would not work.
