Pediatricians, like all physicians who specialize in specific areas of medicine have much training. First they complete four years of medical school, as do all physicians. Once they complete medical school, they will typically go through four years of residency when they work closely with experienced attending physicians (who, in this case, would be pediatricians). They can then do a fellowship program to gain more experience in pediatrics and sit for certification as a board certified pediatrician.
