Pediatrician's play a key role in almost every child's life. Pediatrician's are a child's saving grace when a parent no longer knows how to help make their baby feel better. Pediatrician's work their hardest to make a family as healthy as they can be. Pediatricians are responsible for taking care of children who are sick and for making sure children stay as healthy as they can.

The daily tasks of a Pediatrician are simple, yet challenging. They have to administer vaccinations, treat illnesses, perform wellness checkups, make hospital rounds, check test results and write prescriptions for their patients.

Pediatricians have a very high salary compared to some of the other careers in the hospital/clinical setting. A Pediatrician on average makes $167,640 annually. Which means they make about $80.59 per hour.

They have a pretty normal work environment. They are able to work in a hospital, or in a clinic or group practice. 17% of Pediatricians work in hospitals.

Some issues or problems Pediatricians may face are having to deal with the families of their patients, keeping the information of the patient confidential, and having to see and report abuse of the patients.
