I'm in a gap year right out of high school, volunteering on The Africa Mercy (A hospital ship in Senegal). I've gotten dozens of shadowing hours with everything from physicians to physical therapists to nurses, but I realize that it's definitely different then it would be at home, because we don't really distinguish between kids and adults. I LOVE children, and I want to go into medicine, so I figured a pediatrician would be a solid career?
Could the pediatricians on this site please illustrate to me what it looks like to be a pediatrician in the states? Do you exclusively work with kiddos? Is there anything I should be doing differently at this point to bolster a Med School Application for pediatrics? THANKS!
