Do pediatricians use chemistry? If so, how??

Question

Be specific as possible please!

Answer 1

Just about all clinicians use their fundamental knowledge of chemistry when interpreting lab results, among many other ways.

Another example is understanding many biochemical derangements such as glycogen storage diseases involves and understanding of why a build-up of certain products may be caused by an insufficiency or lack of an enyme or several enzymes critical to a biosythetic pathway.

Any medication that a pediatrician dispenses requires a firm grasp of Pharmacologic principles, ergo chemistry.

The list goes on and on.

Answer 2

As a pediatrician, you may not have to use much Chemistry, I'm not sure, but if you were to become a pediatrician, you must first  go through the streps of becoming a doctor, requiring medical school, and medical school requires studies in organic chemistry,general chem, bio, physics and English courses.  A recommended course contains stuff like cell biology, biochemistry and physical chemistry
