Hello!
Peds is a great area to specialize in. I applied for a job at a pediatric hospital. I think it's important to know what subspecialties are available under the pediatric umbrella. By that I mean, there's pediatric subspecialties such as oncology, pulmonology, burns and cardiology. Many times, it's possible for you to do a shadow experience. This allows you to get an idea of the patients are like on a specific unit. I hope this helps!

Hi Kendra. To be a pediatrician and work as a pediatrician. After high school you have to go through four years of undergraduate college and subsequently get admission to medical school. So we have to work very diligently during undergraduate college to get high GPA to get admission at medical school. After completing four years of medical school, we had to undergo three years of residency as a pediatrician and pass the three USMLE exams. And subsequently we had to get the state license in the state we want to work. Once you have the state license, you can find a pediatrician job in the area of your choice. If you want to do sub-specialty in pediatrics you have to do two or three more years of training. Hope this gives you an insight in the career path to be a pediatrician. Best of luck.
