If becoming an anesthesiologist sounds like something you'd like to do as a career, you'll need to complete a 4-year anesthesiology residency program after becoming a doctor.

You may also be required to take an additional American Board of Anesthesiology examination (ABA).

With experience, you can expect to earn around $265,000 per year once all of the above is said and done.
