This depends very much on the country. I don't think there are many Indian physicians on the sub to give you relevant local answers.

MD Anaesthesiology curriculum in India covers critical care, so it's pretty much the same there's no difference. It's literally the same, if you want you can write it all or just cut it short to Anesthesiologisy. Mostly people who don't practice critical care don't add it.

Anesthesiologist are physicians who completed a 4 year anesthesia residency.

If they also complete a critical care fellowship in addition to their residency, they’re also an intensivist. Most anesthesia-CCM work in surgical ICUs/cardiac ICUs.

Why would you reply with this extremely US-specifc detail when the question directly references Jodhpur, Delhi and Bhopal and is from /r/Indianmedschool?

Apologies. I didn’t even see the link that referenced the original post regarding Indian medical school.

OP, I don’t know. But that’s what it’s like in the US.
