On this day in 1903, near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, Orville and Wilbur Wright make the first successful flight in history of a self-propelled, heavier-than-air aircraft. Orville piloted the gasoline-powered, propeller-driven biplane, which stayed aloft for 12 seconds and covered 120 feet on its inaugural flight.
Pediatrics is a collaborative specialty -- pediatricians work with other medical specialists and healthcare professionals to provide for the health and emotional needs of children. Education:
In the later years of medical school, you'll study specialty areas including internal medicine, cardiology, surgery, orthopedics and pediatrics to help you confirm that pediatrics will be your area of specialty.ourses in child psychology are ideal for pediatricians. Electives such as music, literature and sports can help you develop lifelong interests that may help relieve the stress caused by long hours and the responsibilities of a medical career.
