How long do you have to go to college to be a pediatric doctor?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In general, there is 4 years of college, followed by 4 years of medical school, followed by 3 to 5 years of residency.

There are a few programs that combine college and medical school to 6 or 7 years (depending on the program) instead of the 8 years.

A lot of school, but if it is your passion, well worth it!! You need a medical degree, plus a residency in pediatrics. That's about 12 years of school.

Here's more background information from a booklet published by the U.S. Department of Labor:

It takes many years of education and training to become a physician: 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 a combined undergraduate and medical school programs that last 6 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 a medical school is 3 years of college; most applicants, however, have at least a bachelor's degree, and many have advanced degrees.

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.

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.

Asked by Wiki User

We don't know if Autism is more common in one race in particular. Currently figures show higher rates in white people but this is not to say that white people are more likely to be autistic, this is simply because white people have better access to assessments to get a diagnosis and culturally there will be less stigma in white communities against people with neurological conditions.
