What does it take to become a Pediatrician?

What classes AND schools should I take in order to become a pediatrician?

  • I'm in 8th grade and since like 5th grade I really wanted to become some kind of doctor. I love kids and from then on I really wanted to be a pediatrician (: I was just wondering, what type of classes AND schools should I take..please answer both questions. It's also for an assignment. Hahaa! But anyways thanks!

  • Answer:

    You'd start at any 4-year college or university. Major in anything and take the premed classes in bio, chem, physics, math, and English. Keep your college GPA well over 3.5 and do very well on the MCATs. Then you've got 4 years of medical school, followed by 3 years of residency in pediatrics.
