Pediatricians

A higher position than a general pediatrician would be a surgeon or head pediatrician in a hospital. Many medical jobs are on an even playing field and there are few head positions.

That depends how much the pediatrician wants to work. Some decide to work part time, either just a few hours a day or only a couple days a week, while others work very long hours and are on call at night frequently. Most physicians are able to work as much or as little as they want.

Pediatricians normally work within the ranges of 9 to 12 hours a day, depending on their experience.

Paediatrician (American spelling - Pediatrician). A Pediatrician

Pediatric anesthesiologists usually get around $130,000 to $280,000 a year in their first year out of medical school, which could last 11-12 years (4 years college, 4 years medical school, 3-4 years residency).

Pediatricians are a type of private doctors, therefore they can control the timing of how long they want to work. If private then, its under their choice.

Pediatricians in hospitals are controlled by their supervisors.

There is stress in everything. Even not working and being on welfare has stress. If you were filthy rich you could sit around and worry about being poor someday. There are billionairs who worry about losing it all.

The pediatrician field is expected to grow over the years. This is because people will expect more care for their children, and better care. The only way to get this care will be for there to be more pediatricians in the field. People will also continue to retire leaving more places to be filled in addition to the new jobs being created. So the employment outlook for a pediatrician is expected to be very good.

Someone who is interested in entering the medical profession attends a medical school. First the person needs to receive an undergraduate degree from a college or a better choice a university that has a medical school. After earning a Bachelor of Science degree 3-4 years) they can apply for medical school which is also takes 3-4 years, and usually they will be required to complete an internship and residency at an accredited hospital.

yes in as much as it would be for any person who needs to add, subtract, divide and multiply in their job. you don't need to be a mathematical genius at all. but you do need a degree in medicine.

A general clinical pediatrician will spend most of his/her office hours examining children with upper respiratory illnesses, lower respiratory illnesses, and those complications that could arise from either ailment (ear infections, sore throat, pneumonia, asthma, etc.). Also, a pediatrician will spend an inordinate amount of clinical time assessing children of all ages (birth through 18 years old) on their overall health, development, and well-being.

There are several options. The most popular tend to be pre-medicine, or pre-professional medicine, which most universities offer. Other options include, but are not limited to, biology, chemistry, biochemistry, etc. ! Contact your local community college and they'll help you.

I wouldn't recommend becoming a doctor if you're after an early retirement, as it's eight years of training and usually several more years just to pay off your loans. When a doctor can retire also depends on a lot of other things like level of training, how many hours they work, how respected they are, and how long they've been in the practice. Medical training is also very exhausting, as you will frequently be up 24 hours or more at once. You have to study, work shifts, and do whatever else you have to do to take care of yourself. It's exhausting, but it's rewarding if that's what you really, really want to do.

Birth to adult. Most pediatricians will see patients until they are about 16 or so and then suggest they find another doctor.

Yes. Most hospitals now are not hiring Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) anymore, however it is possible to be an LPN on a pediatric floor, but they can not be a certified pediatric nurse.

If a pediatrician works for a hospital then yes they have sick leave, but they need to call in so that another pediatrician can see their patients. If a pediatrician is in private practice, they don't usually have sick leave, but can try to call another pediatrician to see their patients for them. If they can get someone to cover them, then they can take off, if not, then they have to come in.

After graduating from high school, a student that wants to become a Pediatrician must finish:

• four years of college

• four years of medical school

• one year of a Pediatrics internship

• two years of a Pediatrics residency

So that adds up to about 11 years of school and training to become a Pediatrician.

It is important to note that during your internship and residency years, while you are still learning, you are not really in school and are getting paid for your work.

As an alternative, you could apply for an accelerated college/medical school program, which can compress those eight years of school into just six or seven years.

It depends on what state you live in.

Average office visit is 80$ and any tests will run 75-100$ or more. Depending on what you are getting tested for.

The pap smears are what get expensive.

I'd think about going to a planned parenthood if you don't have insurance as they are a lot cheaper and work with you.

years and years of college and a masters degree.

Good question. As a doctor, probably the highest paid MD's in todays environment are Plastic Surgeons as a rule. There are individual Opthamologists who probably make more, but Plastics is the highest paid. Neurosurgeon's make a lot also, but the work is so hard they often don't want to work as much so make less than the Plastic guys. Dave MD

It typically takes 11 years to become a pediatrician after high school:

== == Steps required to become a forensic pathologist follow:

After high school the future forensic pathologist attends college for 4 years and receives a bachelors degree. After undergraduate school the aspiring forensic pathologist spends 4 years in medical school, earning a M.D. or D.O. degree.

After medical school there are several routes by which one may become a forensic pathologist. One may spend 5 years training in anatomic & clinical pathology followed by 1 year of residency or fellowship in forensic pathology. A second option is to train for 4 years in anatomic pathology and train for 1 year in forensic pathology. The residency training in forensic pathology involves practical (On-the-job) experience supervised by trained forensic pathologist. The forensic pathology resident actually performs autopsies and participates in death investigation. To become certified, one then must pass an examination given by the American Board of Pathology certifying special competence in forensic pathology. Forensic pathologists practice medicine in the finest tradition of preventive medicine and public health by making the study of the dead benefit the living.
