Where Pediatricians Work Some pediatricians work in an office, either alone or with a group of other doctors, while some work in a hospital, health maintenance organization, clinic, or medical school. Still, others work as locum tenems doctors, traveling around a city or around the country, filling in for other doctors on a part-time basis.
A pediatrician commonly starts his/her day in the Newborn Nursery at the local hospital, examining newborns within 24 hours of birth.fter a break for lunch, the day continues until 4 or 5 pm. In addition to seeing patients in the office, during the day, a Pediatrician will likely have to spend some time doing administrative work, giving advice on the phone, filling out forms and doing other paperwork, doing research and sometimes teaching.
