What training do i need for a pediatricians general if i don't go to college?

Answer 1

One would first need a four-year college degree. You can have any major as long as you complete the "pre-med" requirements (some Biology, chemistry, calculus and physics). If you graduated from college without these pre-med courses you can complete a post-bac program. Then you would need to complete another four years of medical school to be either a M.D. or a D.O. In years 3 and 4 of medical school you would be able to select some of your rotations based on your field of interest. Some fields/specialties require additional schooling. I don't know if pediatrics does, but I doubt it.

Answer 2

Yes, you have to get an associates degree at any college, then you have to go to a doctor's college for at least two years. 6 years altogether-that's allot!!

Answer 3

A Pediatrician is a medical doctor that specializes in the medical care of children. They complete college, and then attend medical school, then complete a "residency" practice.
