Abstract
There is great improvement in the practice of anaesthesiology in the 21st century when compared with the past. Anaesthesiology can only be studied after obtaining a medical qualification. The knowledge and appropriated skills are acquired during a specialist or fellowship training programme; while the duration of study may vary from country to country and is programme-specific. The innovations, high monitoring standard and technology available in modern times has made the delivery of anaesthesia to surgical patients very safe. Anaesthesiology remains a stressful medical profession but it provides diverse opportunities. It offers an exceptionally wide career prospect outside the operating room, as well as skills for team management and leadership positions.
Key words: Anaesthesiologist, anaesthesia history, training programme, skills, career diversity.
