Vol. 5 No. 6 P. 6. Physicians are accustomed to checking thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in older adults with symptoms of an over- or underactive thyroid, as itâs a fairly accurate and routine measure of thyroid function.

After undergraduate studies, four years of medical school is required. Before attending medical school, applicants must send their college transcripts to the schools they apply to, pass the Medical College Admission Test, and obtain letters of recommendation.
In med school you will take pretty much the same courses as all the other med students for the first four years. You won't start to specifically study pediatrics until after you graduate with your MD degree. Then you will start a 2-5 year training program for Pediatrics.
