- An anesthesiologist (US English) or anaesthetist (British English) is a physician trained in anesthesia and perioperative medicine.
  In the United States, the term anesthesiologist refers to a physician who completed an accredited residency program in anesthesiology, usually four years following medical school either with M.D. or D.O. degree. In contrast, the term anesthetist is used for nurse anesthesia providers who have undergone specialized training in anesthesia.
  In the United Kingdom, most former Commonwealth countries and in Europe the term anaesthetist refers only to physicians (university graduates in medicine) specialised in anaesthetics. In a very few UK hospitals some duties are performed by non-physicians, Physicians' Assistants (Anaesthesia), but only under physician anaesthetist supervision. PAAs have made very little impact in the UK and national training schemes have been discontinued. In several European countries (e.g. Germany, Austria and in effect the UK) anaesthesia is exclusively provided by physicians (1:1 ratio anaesthetist:patient), while anaesthetic nurses or anaesthetic technicians (ODPs - operating department practitioners in UK) assist the anaesthetist. ^[1]
