To become an anesthesiologist you need to complete college (4 years), med school (4-5 years), an internship completed during med school, and a residency program (2-3 years). Therefore, at a minimum you have to complete 10 years of post-high school education to be an anesthesiologist. A nurse anesthetist has to complete similar schooling as a doctor.
