The exact amount of time that it takes to become a pediatrician depends on many different factors, but for most students, eight years of schooling after high school followed by a residency that lasts at least three years is the norm.
General - As a Pediatrician, you will ALWAYS be learning! After high school, you need 4 years of undergraduate courses at a college or university (which will get you a BS, BA, or other Bachelor's degree). After completing college, you will need to attend 4 years of Medical School (which will get you an MD or DO degree). After this, you are a general doctor. Most of the time, these new doctors go on to learn a specialty in medicine, such as pediatrics. This entails at least 3 more years of Residency training (the first year of residency was formerly called an Internship). In the case of pediatrics, the training of residency is 3 years. After completing these 3 years, you are now a pediatrician and are eligible to become certified in pediatrics by passing a rigorous test that deals with medical conditions related to infants and children. This is the ultimate goal of a pediatrician's training. Bottom line: 4 years college + 4 years medical school + 3 years of residency = 11 years (after high school). Return to Top High School - this is where it really begins. Classes: Basic Sciences (biology, chemistry, physics, algebra, geometry, calculus if possible).
