Training to become a pediatrician requires a four-year undergraduate degree, four years of medical school, and three or more years of hands-on residency training. Should you choose to further specialize in one aspect of pediatrics, such as surgery or adolescent medicine, you may spend up to 10 years of paid training beyond medical school.
Tips. 1  Keep in mind that you will need lots of patience to become a pediatrician. 2  If you want to be a pediatrician, never stop chasing your dreams, even if there are setbacks along the way. 3  Consider taking out a student loan or applying for a scholarship to help pay for medical school, which can be very expensive.ost students who pursue medicine choose pre-med majors like Biology or Chemistry, but you don't necessarily have to graduate with a Bachelor of Sciences (BS).
