assistant
Anesthesiologists are medical doctors who have completed a four-year medical school program followed by a three-year anesthesiology residency. They provide anesthesia care for patients during surgery. Anesthesia assistants are trained to assist with administering anesthesia, monitor vital signs, and help prepare patients for surgery. They typically work under the supervision of an anesthesiologist.
