What are the volunteering requirements to be a pediatrician?
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.

What education and training is required to become a pediatrician?
Becoming a Pediatrician:
Pediatricians are physicians who have specialized in pediatric medicine. The first step is to become a physician. This involves graduating from college and going to medical school. Medical school is typically a four year program, although there are some schools that offer a combined BS/MD or BS/DO degree in six years. That is, a sort of combined college/medical school curriculum that takes six years vs. the traditional eight years (four years of college plus four years of medical school). To become a pediatrician, one does a residency in pediatric medicine after graduating from medical school. Pediatrics residencies are three years long. Some pediatricians will choose to sub-specialize in a more specific area, for example pediatric cardiology or pediatric emergency medicine. This requires post-residency training, called a fellowship, that takes from one to three years, depending on the particular subspecialty.
Here is more advice:
- I am not a doctor, but am married to one. She is a Family Practice doctor, which is considered general medicine. A pediatrician is also a medical doctor, pediatrics also being part of general medicine. What this means is that you must have a 4-year undergraduate degree and a degree from an accredited medical school or college. That is 8 years of higher education. You then have your residency period, which is a "hands on" training period where you are supervised by other doctors. That is either a 3 or 4 year period. Then you have to take your medical boards, administered by your state, I think in conjunction with the American Medical Association (AMA). You have to retake these every few years to keep your medical license. I can tell you that pediatricians are extremely dedicated medical doctors. They are also among the lowest paid, but it seems to be a very demanding and rewarding career. You don't have to be a genius in math or science, just very competent and good with people (and children).
- A pediatrician is a medical Doctor Who specializes in the care of children. There are specialties within the specialty, ranging from neonatologists who specialize in the newborn to those who specialize in teenagers and adolescent problems, to the age of 18.
Degrees Required for Pediatricians
You must be a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) to be a pediatrician. In other words, you must complete pre-med and medical school. It takes a total of about 11 years after high school:
- 4 years in college for a bachelor's degree ("pre-med")
- take the MCAT (a test to get into medical school)
- 4 years in medical school
- 3 years in residency
Your local college or guidance counselor will have more information.
Here is more input and advice:
- In order to be a pediatrician, one must graduate from college and then from medical school. You can go to any college for undergraduate work as long as you take the classes required to get into medical school. Generally, undergraduate work takes about four or five years to complete, and medical school is four more years after that. After medical school, you would need to complete a residency in pediatrics, which is three years.
- Doctorate to practice medicine (MD, DO) plus current license to practice medicine.
- An MD or DO, a medical degree. Pediatricians are doctors.
- You would need a medical degree to start and then go on to specialize with further training in pediatrics.
- Pediatricians need 4 years of undergraduate school followed by four more years of medical school, followed by 3 years of internship and residency.
As far as education is concerned, The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) estimates that only about one half of those who apply to medical school are accepted. This is an average; some programs are substantially more competitive. Most applicants take the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) about 18 months before they plan to enter medical school; generally in April of their junior year of college. The MCAT is administered by the AAMC, which develops test content in cooperation with US medical schools. Six components determine the candidate's eligibility for medical school admission, including undergraduate course work, Grade point average, Performance on the MCAT, Extracurricular activities, Letters of recommendation and Interviews with medical school admissions committees.
The academic pressure in medical school is consistently intense. It is important to find a balance between study and personal life; your lifestyle will be different from that in college, but the workload is manageable. Most medical schools devote the first 2 years to classroom and laboratory instruction in the basic sciences. Many provide clinical rotations and/or teach the basic sciences (anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, histology, pathology, and pharmacology) with a strong clinical correlation. Students also learn how to take a patient history, conduct a physical examination, and make a diagnosis. They become familiar with the art of the patient interview and study psychosocial aspects of medicine. The third year of medical school consists of the core rotations (or clerkships), in the hospital and in ambulatory settings, which give most students their first direct patient care experiences. There is some variation (eg, some schools begin clerkships in the second year), but most schools structure rotations in 6 areas ~Psychiatry ~Pediatrics ~Obstetrics and gynecology ~Internal medicine ~Family medicine ~Surgery During the fourth year of medical school, students complete senior clerkships and subinternships, where they have more responsibility for patient care and are permitted to take more electives. Some pursue experiences in research, work with underserved cultural groups, and international child health.
Most US schools require that students successfully complete parts 1 and 2 of the United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE) to graduate. After successful completion of a 4-year medical school program, students choose a specialty area and enter residency training. The length of residency varies by specialty; primary care residency in pediatrics is 3 years.
For a combined total of 11-12 years of training after the completion of high school.

No need to be a maths wizard. Basic knowledge is required to calculate dosages of drugs. Those who work in higher centers need a good knowledge of biophysics and biochemistry to understand patho physiology and principles of management of ventilators and advanced life support systems.
This is a question you should be presenting to the school. However, this is why I always recommend that individuals seeking higher education to stay with schools that have a regional accreditation. With a regional accreditation, you can be assured that the coursework and degree you complete will be recognized by all other colleges, universities, testing and licensing agencies, as well as employers. It's unfortunate that so many students find themselves in unrecognized programs of study.
What are the entrance requirements for these for pediatrician training schools?

While many individuals who pursue a career as a physician major in biology at the undergraduate level, many others come from a variety of other educational backgrounds. You should meet with a career counselor at the college or university you attend for what options exist for you. The important issue is acquiring the appropriate prerequisites required for medical school. The student should have a strong background in the following areas.
- Biology (cell biology, biology of the organism)
- Chemistry (inorganic, organic)
- Physics
- Communication (written and oral)
- Higher level math's
