A Career As A Pediatric Profession

Pediatrics is my number one career choice. In many ways, it also reflects my second, third, and fourth career choices. Educators teach and lead young people toward success Legislators draft policies that improve processes for their constituents. And professional golfers commit themselves to extensive study and practice to master the skills of their profession. As a pediatrician, I see myself incorporating all three. I want to master the skills of pediatric diagnosis, work to improve the processes of medical practice, and successfully educate my patients so they are empowered to choose a healthy life.
