Jessica there are multiple types of pediatricians depending on their specialty; they can be general pediatricians, pediatric surgeons or pediatric RNs. However, the focus of the pediatrician job description is being patient, gentle, professional and able to communicate effectively with children and their parents, these are some of the pediatrician duties.
GENERAL PEDIATRICIAN • The average General Pediatrician salary is $205,500 as of July 27, 2020
Pediatricians are doctors who specialize in caring for young people, from infants to young adults. General pediatrics encompasses the care, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of medical conditions and issues that are generally specific to this younger population. A general pediatrician will treat minor injuries, common illnesses, and some infectious diseases that may affect young people. Pediatrician job duties include taking patients' medical histories, examining patients, ordering any necessary medical tests, and creating a plan of treatment for the patient. They must be able to communicate this plan and any medical options to the parents of the patient and answer any questions that they may have concerning the course of action. Pediatrician responsibilities may also include administering vaccinations, providing preventative healthcare, and teaching patients and their parents about proper healthcare, like hygiene and nutrition. Pediatricians generally work in physicians' offices and usually work in full-time positions. The job often requires doctors to be on call and work irregular hours as needed.
PEDIATRIC SURGEON • The average Surgeon - Pediatric salary is $345,000 as of July 27, 2020
A pediatric surgeon is a trained surgeon specializing in the diagnosis and operative care of surgical issues in children. While general surgeons are fully qualified to operate on young patients, pediatric surgeons receive special training in the surgical repair of birth defects, surgical techniques specific to each stage of child development, and the treatment of trauma in children. A career in pediatric surgery requires collaboration with neonatal specialists, pediatricians, and family physicians to determine the best course of treatment for the child, as well as communication with the child's family to ensure his or her pre- and post-operative safety. Along with proper training and certification, pediatric surgeons must have a keen interest in and concern for the needs of children and newborns. Because pediatric surgery involves treating patients in various stages of development, a clear understanding of child physiology and pharmacology is essential, as is an aptitude for extreme precision in treatment. A high degree of sensitivity is also important in interacting with families and patients.
PEDIATRIC NURSE (RN) • The average Registered Nurse (RN), Pediatrics salary is $85,750 as of July 27, 2020.
A pediatric RN focus on the medical needs and treatment of infants, children and adolescents. Their specialized training allows them to provide young patients and their families with emotional support and medical care. A pediatric RN assists pediatricians by assessing a patient's needs and providing initial patient care. They help families deal with a child's illness or injury and often offer information on nutrition, diet and good health habits. Pediatric RNs may work in a doctor's office, clinic or outpatient care center, immunization center or hospital. Work hours vary depending on the facility. Pediatric RNs have many duties. They often document a patient's symptoms and medical history for the doctor to review. They also draw blood, administer medication and give childhood vaccinations. Pediatric RNs might also assist a pediatrician during a patient examination. Additional duties result from further specialization, such as pediatric oncology, dermatology or cardiology.
Jessica now that you know what are the general duties of being a pediatrician, you can make an informed decision about your career path. If this is the career you are dreaming of, nothing can stop you from pursuing it. The pediatrician job description includes a lot of interpersonal skills and a lot of patience.
