A pediatrician begins with the same skills as any other doctor. Then he or she goes through a residency program where he learns a lot more about differences in treating children and adults. You simply do not take the same medicine for adults and give a lot less to a child. In many ways, children's metabolism works differently. So a pediatrician is a physician with specialized training.
