Abstract

Critical care training is not for the faint of heart. The burnout rate for the anesthesiologist-intensivist has historically been much higher than the general anesthesiologist 1 Wong et al.

Not surprisingly, during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, many studies suggested an additional increase in burnout among healthcare providers in the intensive care unit. Although some medical students and residents may have found their calling for critical care during these testing years, the general trend has been less and less interest in anesthesiology-critical care fellowships.

This is partly due to the learner's experience during the pandemic, but also because the job market for general anesthesiology is excellent at present.
