Pediatric Care Specialists

A pediatric care specialist is a medical physician who manages a child's physical, behavioral, and mental care for newborns to age 18. Among pediatricians, there are specialists who diagnose and treat a variety of childhood ailments, from minor ailments to chronic illnesses. The board-certified pediatrician has passed the American Board of Pediatrics' rigorous exams after graduating from medical school and completing a 3-year residency program in pediatrics. Continuing education is required for pediatricians in order to remain certified.
