Pediatricians are healthcare professionals who specialize in
the care of children. This means that a pediatrician is trained to diagnose and
treat children’s illnesses, from common to rare, and from acute to chronic. A
pediatrician can work with parents and other caregivers on the children’s
health team. What this vocation entails varies based on location and
institution. However, many pediatricians specialize in working with children
under the age of 18 years old. Some pediatricians may work exclusively with
younger patients, while others might have limited experience treating younger
patients but enough familiarity with their age group to practice effectively as
a pediatrician. As such, there are both generalist physicians and specialists
who can practice as a pediatric specialist in this field.

care for children and their families up to the age of 18. The pediatricians at
