ADDENDUM: one must complete 4 years of college in excellent standing; complete 4 years of medical school; and then, complete 3-5 years in a residency program (hospital setting) in pediatric/adolescent medicine. I am going to assume you are referring to a medical doctor (MD) with a specialization in pediatrics. If you are starting your undergraduate work, you can figure on approximately eight years, provided you take the program of study as prescribed by your institution. Viper1.
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).
