Pediatrician Job Description

A pediatrician is a physician who specializes in the care of infants, children, and teenagers.

A pediatrician generally practices in a community clinic or hospital, where they see patients from birth through adolescence.

Pediatricians are trained to deal with all medical issues that children face, from birth through adolescence.

Pediatricians may deal with birthmarks, infections, broken bones, diabetes, epilepsy, and other childhood illnesses.

Typically, pediatricians have four to five years of additional training beyond the four years of medical education.

This additional training is termed pediatric residency, and there are two main categories of pediatric residency: pediatric urgent care and pediatrics.
