The History of Pediatrics

The history of Pediatrics is very important. Pediatrics has been around for a very long time. Pediatrics is known as a new modern medicine in the society today. There are differences in growing & maturing organisms that required different treatment. Some of the oldest traces of pediatrics can be discovered in Ancient India. The Swedish physician Nils Rosen von Rosenstein (1706-1773) is considered to be the founder of modern pediatrics as a medical specialty,while his work the diseases of the children,& their remedies (1764) is considered to be "the first modern textbook on the subject".

What is Pediatrics?

Pediatrics is the branch of medicine dealing with children and their diseases. Anything with the word "Pediatric" in front of it deals with children. It deals with the care of infants, children, and adolescents from birth up to the age of 18. Pediatrics is a collaborative specialty, pediatricians work with other medical specialists and healthcare professionals to provide for the health and emotional needs of children.Pediatrics is a very broad field, encompassing general practice to children's oncology, hence the need for collaborative effort among medical professionals.

What do Pediatricians do?

Pediatricians do a lot of things. They provide preventive health maintenance for healthy children. They provide medical care for children who are acutely or chronically ill.They manage the physical, mental, and emotional well being of their patients in every stage of development. Pediatricians diagnose infections, injuries, genetic defects, and all kind of other medical problems. It takes a good 8 years to become a Pediatrician. You have to go to college for 4 years and go to a good medical school for 4 years as well.

The average yearly salary for a Pediatrician is $175,000. They make real good money. Working in the medical field is very rewarding and beneficial. Pediatricians can work in a number of environments, such as hospitals, private practice offices, health maintenance organizations, community health centers, public health clinics, schools, or the military and government. They are less likely to enter solo practice and more likely to work as salaried employees of group medical practices.

Pediatrics

Copy and paste an original paragraph from your Wikipedia article here.

The training of pediatricians varies considerably across the world. Depending on jurisdiction and university, a medical degree course may be either undergraduate-entry or graduate-entry. The former commonly takes five or six years, and has been usual in theCommonwealth. Entrants to graduate-entry courses (as in the US), usually lasting four or five years, have previously completed a three- or four-year university degree, commonly but by no means always in sciences. Medical graduates hold a degree specific to the country and university in and from which they graduated. This degree qualifies that medical practitioner to become licensed or registered under the laws of that particular country, and sometimes of several countries, subject to requirements for "internship" or "conditional registration".

Pediatricians must undertake further training in their chosen field. This may take from four to eleven or more years, (depending on jurisdiction and the degree of specialization). The post-graduate training for a primary care physician, including primary care pediatricians, is generally not as lengthy as for a hospital-based medical specialist.

Revised

There are a good bit of differences between Pediatric & Adult medicine. Adult bodies are very different from Children's bodies so a lot is not gonna relate when it comes to how much medicine a man/woman & a boy/girl has to take. The amount they have to intake is very different. Children can't make decisions for themselves,so their parents have to make them for them. Pediatricians don't just treat children,but they also treat adults & sometimes the child's whole family. They can work as a "Family Practice Pediatrician". People come in different shapes & sizes so it's very important to watch everything they intake into their bodies very carefully. A person's health is very important to them & very important to take care of yourself. After all you only have 1 life to live,so it's very important to take care of yourself,eat right,& exercise daily.

When it comes down to being a "Pediatrician" or a "Pediatric Nurse",you have to know what your dealing with & what you are doing. When it comes down to an adult's body & a child's body,we find out that both are very different in many ways. They don't intake the same amount of fluids,calories,& etc. They both have a certain amount of certain things they need to intake in their bodies each day. They both are going through what we call "Maturational Changes". The smaller body of a baby is very different physiologically from an adult. A lot of developmental issues are of a greater concern to pediatricians than to adult physicians.
