Do you feel that some do anesthesiologist resent CRNA'S? Do you think they think that you are undercutting them and their work? What do they do if anything that you don't do?

If we were conducting a cost benefit analysis of being a CRNA vs. an Anesthesiologist how does the schooling/experience/training compare one to the other? How does the pay compare? How does the cost of training/experience/training compare?

Same series of questions but comparing CRNA to Family Medicine Doctor or General Practitioner.

Does the reputation of a medical school really matter? I thought about this some weeks ago. It seems that if you can get into one of your top two or three residencies that's all that really matters. Medical school is not like law school in that the highest percentage of available "Big Law" jobs go to the graduates from the Top 14 law schools.

If a med student wants to become a dermatologist does it really matter if they go to University of Illinois at Chicago or Harvard for medical school? It seems like it does not matter.

My understanding is that doctor pay by specialties can vary significantly. Based on my quick google search the average salary for an Anesthesiologist in America is $359,300 to $470,200.

Plastic surgeons and neurosurgeons can earn $600k and higher. There are a good number of neurosurgeons pushing close to $1M per year. It is my understanding that a GP/Family Doctor might make around $235,000 per year.

What becomes of doctors/medical school graduates who don't match? Do they all go to work is business consulting?
