It depends on what college you're going to what kind of prerequisites and the level of challenge that will be involved in your college classes, and that's how you'll determine what kind of preparation you need to do. Why don't you write a few emails to local colleges, where you can begin your BS after High School, and ask them what they recommend? Their counselors should be happy to assist you. So would your own school guidance counselor, for that matter. That's really what she's for. She could even get into the game early and put in a good word for you as a reference, with a letter of recommendation, on your college app.
Don't be discouraged because you're young and your goals might change, either. The basic education that you need for pediatrics would give you an advantage in any number of related occupations, and you're old enough that your primary skill set isn't going to change too too drastically over the next couple of years.

What courses you take in high school really aren't going to matter. My advice is to take science courses if it interests you, but also to keep your mind open. You're probably between 14-16, and that really is too young in the first place to know exactly what you want to do with yourself. Secondly, you're going to have to go to college and then medical school before you become a pediatrician, and it is going to be on the basis of how well you did in those that you will be able to become a pediatrician. The classes you take in high school aren't going to matter at all.

Take each of the difficult technological awareness you could and start up now to study different colleges and universities connected to preparation hospitals Paying particular interest to those who have fairly professional preparation in pediatrics. it truly is an quite difficult field as think ofyou've got to handle many children with fairly dreadful ailments and unfavorable analysis so study, interview some community Dr.s and clinicians and get as a lot publicity up the front as you could.

Take as many sciences as you can. If Latin is offered, take that too, because it will help you with medical terminology.
And work on spelling- if a doctor misspells the name of a drug a fatal medical error can rresult.
