Depends: Typical pediatric training includes the standard 4 yrs of med school with a 3 yr residency.If you decide to pursue a specialty area of pediatrics,that would usually add another 2-3 yrs.The training itself varies some with the institution where you train and specifics change with changes in medicine.You don't need to second guess what to study, that will be determined at the time.

Study: There is a standard course of study. Four years of college, then four years of medical school, then three more years of post-graduate study, and finally fellowship study if you choose to persue a specialist career.
