  1. "Pediatrician" is the preferred American spelling; "paediatrician" is the preferred spelling in Great Britain, Canada, and some other former colonies of GB. The term is derived from two Greek words, paidion = child and iatros = doctor.

    Yes, you have to be an MD to be a pediatrician.


  2. Yes, pediatricians are mds.  The difference between the two words you posted is the latin spelling.
