• GRE or MCAT
• 3 letters of recommendation

• Most prereqs expire after 5–7 years.
• Applying to med school too? Take the MCAT. Otherwise, focus on a strong GRE score.

• OR access is tough—but possible! The more hours, the more competitive you’ll be.
• Ask questions, take detailed notes (surgeries, drugs, techniques).
• Network, volunteer, email anesthesia departments & professional orgs… and follow up!
• Think outside the box: hospitals, outpatient clinics, dental, veterinary, etc.
