Do 4 years of medical school (general Medicine)

1 Year internship

Then at least 2 years of Prediatrics Residency would be of help or you can go straigt into practise as as Associate in some firm that does Pediatrics.

But to be frank they might light to see at least 1-2 years Predatrics residency

It takes 4 years to get a Diploma and certification in Pediatrics. While that is not manditory, it looks good on the wall and on your Phone Book listing

Dr. Blah, Blah, MD, D-P, Board Certified Pediatrician

After 5 years and another test you can become

Dr. Blah, Blah, MD, D-P, F.A.C.P.M., Board Certified Pediatrician, Fellow of the American College of Pediatrical Medicine.

That gets you another $50 in initial visit fees!

With less than 4 year and the certification it would just be

Dr. Blah, Blah, MD, Sepecializing in Pediatrical Medicine.

HOWEVER, you mush pass the MCAT and take intro. courses in biology, chemistry, etc. Sometimes, they are pre-med degrees, which are pretty much a comprehensive degree to help you get into med school.

A lot people get degrees in biology. Then take the extra classes to help passes the MCAT.

After going to med. school for like 4 years, you must complete a residency for like another 3 years.

4 years medical school

3 years of residency
