Ep 173 | Specialty Spotlight: Combined Emergency Medicine/Anesthesiology w/ Dr. David Leon

Dela

By their 4th year of medical school, most students have chosen one specialty - one path forward. But what if the career you actually want doesn’t fit neatly into a single box? 

For students drawn to both the fast-paced, undifferentiated world of emergency medicine and the physiology- and pharmacology-driven world of anesthesiology, there was once a fork in the road. Now for some, that fork may not have to exist. 

In this episode, we explore one of the most unique medical training pathways: combined emergency medicine and anesthesiology residency. What does it look like to train in two specialties at once? How do the two skill sets complement each other, and what kind of career options open up on the other side? 

To learn about this, we spoke to Dr. David Leon, an anesthesiologist and emergency medicine physician at UC Davis Health in Sacramento, California.
