How to become a medical doctor in pediatric care?

5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

Study hard: Study during your college courses and maintain a good grade point.Get accepted to medical school and graduate.Seek out a pediatric post grad education program of 3-5 years and pursue the course work. After the preceding work you can apply for certification by the american board of pediatrics. Some docs offer "pediatric care" with less education, and some do well, but i don't call them pediatrician.
