What Is an Anesthesiologist?

An anesthesiologist keeps a patient safe, comfortable, and free of pain during surgery by administering a general or local anesthetic. They meet with the patient before surgery to make sure the patient is medically fit and suitably prepared to endure the planned procedure. During surgery, an anesthesiologist will monitor the patient’s level of anesthesia and vital signs, making any adjustments if necessary. They will recognize and intervene in any situations where there might be serious risks to the patient’s health related to the anesthesia. After surgery, the anesthesiologist ensures the patient is stable through the post-anesthesia care unit.

What are some common challenges anesthesiologists face during surgery, and how are they addressed?

Anesthesiologists frequently encounter challenges such as rapidly changing patient conditions, unexpected reactions to anesthesia, and communication with surgical teams during critical moments. To address these, anesthesiologists must stay vigilant, adapt anesthesia plans on the fly, and maintain clear communication with surgeons and nurses. Continuous professional development and simulation training also help anesthesiologists stay prepared for rare or complex scenarios, ensuring patient safety remains the top priority.

What is the difference between Anesthesiologist vs Nurse Anesthetist?

AspectAnesthesiologistNurse Anesthetist
EducationMedical degree (MD or DO), residency in anesthesiologyBachelor's degree, master's or doctoral degree in nurse anesthesia
CertificationMedical license, board certification in anesthesiologyState license, certification as Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA)
Work EnvironmentHospitals, surgical centers, clinicsHospitals, surgical centers, pain clinics
Roles & ResponsibilitiesDiagnose, develop anesthesia plans, manage anesthesia during surgeriesAdminister anesthesia, monitor patients, assist during surgeries

While both anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists administer anesthesia and work in similar settings, anesthesiologists are medical doctors with extensive training and handle complex cases. Nurse anesthetists are advanced practice nurses with specialized training, often working collaboratively with anesthesiologists or independently in certain settings.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Anesthesiologist, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Anesthesiologist, you need an MD or DO degree, completion of a residency in anesthesiology, and board certification, along with in-depth knowledge of pharmacology, physiology, and perioperative medicine. Expertise in anesthesia delivery systems, patient monitoring technology, and advanced airway management tools is essential. Excellent attention to detail, rapid decision-making, and strong communication skills set outstanding anesthesiologists apart. These competencies are vital for ensuring patient safety, managing critical situations, and collaborating effectively with surgical teams.

What are anesthesiologists?

Anesthesiologists are medical doctors who specialize in administering anesthesia and managing pain before, during, and after surgical procedures. They monitor patients’ vital signs and adjust anesthetic levels to ensure patient safety and comfort throughout surgery. In addition to their role in the operating room, anesthesiologists also provide pain management for patients with chronic conditions and assist with critical care in emergency situations.

Job description

Choose Your Cases. Shape Your Schedule. Practice with Autonomy.
Location: Rochester, NY (multiple hospitals and surgical centers nearby)
Organization: Rochester Regional Health
Position Type: Full-Time
Cardiac Anesthesiologist
At Rochester Regional Health, our anesthesiologists provide comprehensive perioperative care across a wide range of surgical specialties in a collaborative, physician-led environment. We are seeking a fellowship-trained Cardiac Anesthesiologist to join our growing and highly specialized cardiac program.
This position offers substantial cardiac case exposure, flexibility in case selection, and a supportive call structure designed with long-term sustainability in mind. Physicians benefit from a practice model that combines the autonomy and flexibility often associated with private practice with the stability of an integrated health system.
Position Summary
The Cardiac Anesthesiologist provides high-quality anesthesia care for patients undergoing cardiac, thoracic, vascular, and general surgical procedures. Physicians practice at the top of their training in both personally performed and supervisory care models, with flexibility in case selection through our physician-driven scheduling system.
Cardiac anesthesiologists typically spend approximately 60-70% of their clinical time performing cardiac and thoracic anesthesia, while maintaining the option to participate in general anesthesia cases based on individual preference and departmental needs.
Clinical Responsibilities
Provide anesthesia care for complex cardiac surgical procedures, including:
  • Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)
  • Valve repair and replacement
  • Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) placement
  • Minimally invasive valve and CABG procedures

Support structural heart and hybrid procedures including:
  • Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)
  • MitraClip
  • Watchman procedures

Additional responsibilities include:
  • Providing anesthesia for the majority of thoracic procedures
  • Supporting high-complexity vascular cases
  • Participating in a predominantly personally performed cardiac anesthesia model
  • Collaborating with highly experienced cardiac CRNAs as the department continues to thoughtfully expand its cardiac care team model

General Anesthesia Responsibilities
  • Provide anesthesia services across a broad range of surgical specialties
  • Participate in daily case assignments through an equitable physician pick system that allows flexibility to select either cardiac or general assignments
  • Supervise CRNAs and/or personally perform cases as appropriate
  • Deliver comprehensive perioperative care including preoperative evaluation, intraoperative management, and postoperative assessment

The physician scheduling model offers a unique level of autonomy and flexibility rarely found in employed practice settings.
Call Structure
We recognize the importance of balancing subspecialty practice with a manageable and sustainable call model.
Cardiac Call
  • One weekday cardiac anesthesia call per week (from home)
  • One cardiac anesthesia weekend call approximately every 5-8 weeks (from home)
  • Heart call activation rate is approximately 10%

Because heart call is home-based with a low activation rate, post-call days are not routinely scheduled. However, physicians who are called in overnight are prioritized for relief as early as possible the following day.
General Overnight Call
  • Cardiothoracic anesthesiologists take reduced in-house overnight general anesthesia call responsibilities - approximately once per month - in exchange for participation in home cardiac call
  • In-house overnight calls are general anesthesia calls and do not include cardiac anesthesia responsibilities
  • Guaranteed post-call day off following overnight in-house call shifts

Why Physicians Choose Rochester Regional Health
  • Physician-led department with collaborative leadership and meaningful physician input
  • Flexible scheduling model with autonomy in case selection
  • Stable and growing cardiac program with strong institutional support
  • Collegial culture focused on teamwork, quality, and long-term sustainability
  • No non-compete clauses or exclusivity requirements
  • Integrated health system with a strong reputation for community-based care

Life in Rochester, NY
Rochester offers the advantages of a mid-sized city with easy access to the Finger Lakes, outdoor recreation, excellent public schools, and a vibrant arts and food scene. Physicians enjoy short commutes, affordable living, and proximity to all major hospitals and surgical centers.
Qualifications
  • Board Certified or Board Eligible in Anesthesiology
  • Completion of an ACGME-accredited Cardiac Anesthesia Fellowship
  • Certification in Advanced Perioperative Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE)
  • Eligible for medical licensure in New York State

Let's Connect
This is a unique opportunity to build a highly specialized cardiac anesthesia practice while maintaining flexibility, autonomy, and balance within a collaborative and physician-centered department.
