On this day in 1903, near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, Orville and Wilbur Wright make the first successful flight in history of a self-propelled, heavier-than-air aircraft. Orville piloted the gasoline-powered, propeller-driven biplane, which stayed aloft for 12 seconds and covered 120 feet on its inaugural flight.
Pediatrics is a collaborative specialty -- pediatricians work with other medical specialists and healthcare professionals to provide for the health and emotional needs of children. Education:
Residency trains a doctor in a major specialty, such as pediatrics or internal medicine, and fellowships provide advanced training in a narrower sub-specialty. For example, pediatric oncologists must first complete a pediatric residency before entering a pediatric-oncology fellowship.
