Pediatricians

In the U.S., there is the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test) -- the SAT of medical schools -- taken between the 3rd and 4th year of college. During medical school, medical students take the National Medical Board of Examiners Test, Parts 1 and 2, and Part 3 is taken during the first year in residency, commonly referred to as 'internship'. Finally, after residency, pediatricians take the exam of the American Board of Pediatricians to become "Board-Certified." This certification is renewed every 7 years.

To become a pediatrician you need:

4 year college degree

4 year medical degree

3+ years of pediatric residency

A pediatrician is a medical doctor specializing in the care of infants and children. Most commonly pediatricians are in private practice or on staff at hospitals, particularly children's hospitals. Some pediatricians also specialize in oncology or orthopedics - all the same specialties general practice doctors can take, pediatricians can take as well.

Benjamin S. Carson. That's what he has be claiming for years. That does not make it any more correct though. 8 years before that Dr. Theodore Roberts and his team did just that for the Hansen Twin's at the University of Utah Medical Center.

A pediatrician is a physician who specializes in treating children. A physician is a medical doctor who can specialize in many different medical fields. So, all pediatricians are physicians, but not all physicians are pediatricians.

1st answer: About 266,000 dollars a year on the low end

2nd answer: I have done lots of research, and the median salary for Neonatologists is about $215,000. A neonatologist fresh out of medical school, first year on the job, will be making in the low 190's to the early 200's. A neonatologist with 10 to 20 years of experience will be making around what the first answer said...or more.

Look in THE OCCUPATIONAL OUTLOOK HANDBOOK at your local public library. It lists such things as salary, working conditions, etc. everything the money knowing when you put your head down at night you helped a little kid and there family but you still have to think abouty your family now what if one of your kids(if you have are will have) if they get sick and you are you are not a pedatrition.

There is a "salary calculator" tool on this website: http://www.salary.com/ Enter the job title and zip code for your area and it will provide you with the average salary comensurate with the job as well as a job description. Anna Webb

Pediatricians in private practice are generally self-employed. They can work as long as they wish.

Basically, 'pediatricians focus on the physical, emotional, and social health of infants, children, adolescents, and young adults from birth to 21 years. Developmentally oriented and trained in skilled assessment, their patient-care lens is focused on prevention, detection, and management of physical, behavioral, developmental, and social problems that affect children. Pediatricians diagnose and treat infections, injuries, and many types of organic disease and dysfunction. They work to reduce infant and child mortality, foster healthy lifestyles, and ease the day-to-day difficulties of those with chronic conditions.

A pediatrician employed in a hospital will likely receive a standard two or three week vacation in a year. A pediatrician employed in private practice will likely have more flexibility on vacation time.

Yes, if you enjoy helping others and being around children. Its not always easy because you have sick kids and worried parents. You must have a passion and compassion to be an effective doctor and a fulfilling career. Just like anything that you would devote that much time to to become you have to really like what your doing for you and not anyone else.

* I don't know about pediatricians but nurses working in labor and delivery can be responsible for the child's health until they are 18. Which means they can be sued for whatever until that baby they delivered is an adult.

The common path to practicing as a physician requires 8 years of education beyond high school and 3 to 8 additional years of internship and residency. All States, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories license physicians. Education and training. Formal education and training requirements for physicians are among the most demanding of any occupation-4 years of undergraduate school, 4 years of medical school, and 3 to 8 years of internship and residency, depending on the specialty selected. A few medical schools offer combined undergraduate and medical school programs that last 6 years rather than the customary 8 years. Premedical students must complete undergraduate work in physics, biology, mathematics, English, and inorganic and organic chemistry. Students also take courses in the humanities and the Social Sciences. Some students volunteer at local hospitals or clinics to gain practical experience in the health professions. The minimum educational requirement for entry into medical school is 3 years of college; most applicants, however, have at least a bachelor's degree, and many have advanced degrees. There are 146 medical schools in the United States-126 teach allopathic medicine and award a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree; 20 teach osteopathic medicine and award the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree. Acceptance to medical school is highly competitive. Applicants must submit transcripts, scores from the Medical College Admission Test, and letters of recommendation. Schools also consider an applicant's character, personality, leadership qualities, and participation in extracurricular activities. Most schools require an interview with members of the admissions committee. Students spend most of the first 2 years of medical school in laboratories and classrooms, taking courses such as anatomy, biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology, Psychology, microbiology, pathology, medical ethics, and laws governing medicine. They also learn to take medical histories, examine patients, and diagnose illnesses. During their last 2 years, students work with patients under the supervision of experienced physicians in hospitals and clinics, learning acute, chronic, preventive, and rehabilitative care. Through rotations in internal medicine, family practice, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, psychiatry, and surgery, they gain experience in the diagnosis and treatment of illness. Following medical school, almost all M.D.s enter a residency-graduate medical education in a specialty that takes the form of paid on-the-job training, usually in a hospital. Most D.O.s serve a 12-month rotating internship after graduation and before entering a residency, which may last 2 to 6 years. A physician's training is costly. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, in 2004 more than 80 percent of medical school graduates were in debt for educational expenses. Licensure and certification. All States, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories license physicians. To be licensed, physicians must graduate from an accredited medical school, pass a licensing examination, and complete 1 to 7 years of graduate medical education. Although physicians licensed in one State usually can get a license to practice in another without further examination, some States limit reciprocity. Graduates of foreign medical schools generally can qualify for licensure after passing an examination and completing a U.S. residency. M.D.s and D.O.s seeking board certification in a specialty may spend up to 7 years in residency training, depending on the specialty. A final examination immediately after residency or after 1 or 2 years of practice also is necessary for certification by a member board of the American Board of Medical Specialists (ABMS) or the American Osteopathic Association (AOA). The ABMS represents 24 boards related to medical specialties ranging from allergy and immunology to urology. The AOA has approved 18 specialty boards, ranging from anesthesiology to surgery. For certification in a subspecialty, physicians usually need another 1 to 2 years of residency. Other qualifications. People who wish to become physicians must have a desire to serve patients, be self-motivated, and be able to survive the pressures and long hours of medical education and practice. Physicians also must have a good bedside manner, emotional stability, and the ability to make decisions in emergencies. Prospective physicians must be willing to study throughout their career to keep up with medical advances. Advancement. Some physicians and surgeons advance by gaining expertise in specialties and subspecialties and by developing a reputation for excellence among their peers and patients. Many physicians and surgeons start their own practice or join a group practice. Others teach residents and other new doctors, and some advance to supervisory and managerial roles in hospitals, clinics, and other settings.

== == General pediatricians. Providing care from birth to early adulthood, pediatricians are concerned with the health of infants, children, and teenagers. They specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of ailments specific to young people and track their patients' growth to adulthood. Like most physicians, pediatricians work with different health care workers, such as nurses and other physicians, to assess and treat children with various ailments, such as muscular dystrophy. Most of the work of pediatricians, however, involves treating day-to-day illnesses that are common to children-minor injuries, infectious diseases, and immunizations-much as a general practitioner treats adults. Some pediatricians specialize in serious medical conditions and pediatric surgery, treating autoimmune disorders or serious chronic ailments.
