Specializes in Pediatrics

Training: Typically, doctors go through a pediatric residency training program followed by an Adolescent Medicine fellowship. This does not make them a pediatric gynecologist, per se, but they manage many of the non-surgical gynecological issues in children. Otherwise, children can see a regular gynecologist.

There is : No such thing. Gynecology is the study of women's diseases. Pediatricians deal with all children diseases.

Closest thing: Would probably be a pediatric urologist.....med school, urology residency, and sub specialty training in pediatric urology. There is no such specialty as a pediatric gynecologist as far as I know.

It's a long road!: First you complete medical school, then you do your internship and then complete a basic residency in obstetrics and gynecology. After that you can apply for a specialty residency in pediatric gynecology, which is another 2 years or so. Overall, it takes about 8-10 years to be completely done and practicing on your own as a pediatric gynecologist, depending on how long your programs are.
