Question
What are are the different types of anesthesiologists out there?

Answer
I don't understand your question. There is only one type of anesthesiologist. Some anesthesiologists choose to specialize in a subset like pediatrics or hearts or neuro, but any anesthesiologist can do any case. There are 2 subpsecialties within anesthesia that have separate board exams, pain management and critical care, but aside of those, we are all create equal.
