Ok I'm in the 10 grade what are some good colleges that are known for really good pediatricians? ?

Answer 1

Actually, NO college  is known for producing pediatricians.

Why? In order to become a pediatrician, or medical doctor of any kind, you first need to complete an undergraduate degree in a subject other than medicine. You then go on to medical school for another three years, followed by an internship and residency. Some Medical Schools are known for their pediatrics programs, but no undergraduate college has a pediatrician program.

However, there are some things to look for in an undergraduate college that can help improve your chances of being well-prepared to apply to medical school. Look for colleges and universities that have strong pre-med advising, opportunities for undergraduate research, especially in the sciences, and lots of interaction between faculty and students. There are many, many colleges and universities that do a very good job of helping students get into medical school, but some of the schools that are "known" for pre-med actually aren't the best choice because they weed out students hoping to go on to medical school early on, and refuse to support their applications for medical school. So, do ask a lot of questions as you start looking at colleges.

By the way, you do not have to major in biology to become a doctor -- you can really major in any subject you like, but you will need to take certain math and science courses in order to be eligible for medical school.

For now, focus on taking the most difficult math and science courses you can handle at your high school. Try to take math through calculus if you can, and also a year of physics in addition to biology and science. If you can, try to volunteer at a local hospital or nursing home to see if the medical field is really for you. Out of every ten students who start college thinking they will go to medical school, only three will actually end up doing so.

A very good website for learning about medical and science careers is www.careercornerstone.org -- you'll find a lot more helpful advice and links there, but also talk with your science teachers and guidance counselor as soon as possible about what you need to do in order to prepare to get into the best college possible.

Good luck!
