Primary care pediatricians graduate from medical school and complete 3 years of education in an accredited pediatric residency program. The program sites vary among university, children's, military, and community hospitals.
In college, many diverse courses in biology, chemistry, foreign language, and advanced math are taken. Some universities or colleges require years in foreign language, natural science ( labs included), social science, specific levels, of math, and other advanced classes before admitting a person into their univesity\ college.
Medical schools require one year of biology, two years of chemistry, one year of physics, and one year of calculus. Medical schools improve health of the public by enhancing the effectiveness of academic medicine to assist academic medicine institutions, organizations, and individuals. They do this by providing health care services in academic settings, discovering new medical knowledge, developing innovative technology for preventing diagnosis and treatment of disease, and by educating the physician and medical scientist workforce.
After graduation from medical school, three years of pediatric specialty training as an intern and resident is needed before actually becoming a pediatrician. Pediatric residency training focus on the care of infants, children, adolescents, and young adults, which affords physicians the opportunity to acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required for a child- centered health care. Pediatrics learn by lecturing, reading, and interacting with senior pediatricians, caring for children who are chronically ill, and by providing preventive care and health promotion for those in excellent health.
The 3- year residency includes rotations in general pediatrics (outpatient and inpatient), normal newborn care, and time in selected subspecialty areas.
