Pursuing A Career In Pediatrics
I hope this note finds you doing well. I was wondering if I would be able to gain permission to register for the spring section of pediatrics. I am extremely interested in pursuing a career in pediatrics after college and hope that by taking pediatrics as a junior I would be able to apply for an internship in a children's hospital over the summer. Thank you so much for all of your help and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Colleen Dalton

    When I started this program I was deciding between being a pediatrician or a pediatric nurse, but now that I have been through the program and had a chance to explore many different careers I have shifted between many different pathways in the medical field. Especially when I went to the medical career club meetings, I would always question what I thought I wanted and would end up going back to my main reason for wanting to be a pediatrician or a pediatric nurse, I love working with kids.

    The paramedics quickly park the hospitals truck near the emergency entrance and take out the child immediately. They rush them through the double doors, the parents want to come with them to see what's wrong with the their 3 year old daughter, but the receptionist stops them and tells them they have to sit down and wait just like everyone else. The mother starts crying and the father tries to calm her, she starts crying even louder because she's scared. As a child, I always pondered on what I wanted to become when I became older and in sixth grade I was determined to become a Pediatric Nurse. I adore helping children and parents and working at a hospital has been a dream of mine. Along the way of deciding what I should become I had no ideas such as becoming a lawyer, neonatal nurse or an actress. I soon realized that a few of my future dreams were unrealistic or did not interest me as much now as they did when I was younger. Pediatric nurses involve them in interacting with patients that vary in illnesses and age, requires them to have strong communication and numerous years of education and training.…

    The main sources of pediatric primary care in the United States are office-based primary care providers and pediatrician offices. Primary care entails offices that usually do not only see pediatric patients, but also adult patients so the focus is not primarily on the pediatric patient. There seems to be a lack of quality preventative care services for children that ultimately can lead to long term consequences on the child's health. Not only are there not enough sources for pediatric primary care, there is also a lack of training of pediatric health care providers in the development surveillance and in emotional and behavioral problems that affect the pediatric population that can lead to inconsistent quality of preventive care for the patient (Dunn,…
