Question
are there any good medical schools in the UK for anesthesiology?
Gerald
In the UK you still need to train as a doctor to become an anaesthetist - though there are now some posts for the training of non medical anaesthetic assistants/staff. The place of these posts is still not clear in the UK.
The medical schools all produce doctors and you need to look at the type of the curriculum to decide if it will suit your needs. None specialise in producing anaesthetists.
Kind regards
