An international anesthesiologist works in overseas locations to provide anesthesia to patients during surgery or other invasive medical treatments. You also provide care before and after they undergo the operations. Your duties include meeting with each patient and reviewing their medical records before their procedure. You then administer the anesthetic and monitor the patient throughout the surgery. Your responsibilities also include checking the patient after the surgery to ensure that they have no side effects. You travel to different countries on temporary assignments to provide services, sometimes in response to a shortage of qualified anesthesiologists.
