Where ? Tell us more about it. I am interested in the future job prospect. There doesn’t seem many jobs posted anywhere.

The major career pathways you can take are:
1) mobile anesthesiology - go from practice to practice where dental offices will line up a bunch of GA/deep sedation cases for you in a day

It’s a small field, you will get to know many of the specialists across the country which I find awesome.
job prospect varies by state but all of the people I’ve known or talked to have been successful. Nobody is struggling to put food on the table. You can either join an anesthesiology practice or just start your own from scratch if you find the right environment.
