Question
I am looking to become an anesthesiologist. I would like to know what are my options to specialize in and also what should my major be for undergraduate college? I am currently majoring in biology under the pre-med program. Is that good enough or should I change it?

Answer
Hi There
I am UK based and so have no knowledge of your system. However have a look at the past answers of my  American colleague Dr Levy as this is a common question.
