PediatricianQualifications

Undergrad, medical school, internship and residency. That’s 11-ish years of school and training (some medical schools offer programs where your undergraduate education is combined with your medical training, but even still you're looking at a minimum of 8-9 years of postsecondary) - not to mention also becoming licensed by passing the United States Medical Licensing Examination, and completing a residency term - before you can begin pediatricizing. (Please don’t look that up. It’s a word. We promise. Maybe.)
