A pediatrician is a specialized doctor working with children, from birth through adolescence. The pediatrician may treat injuries, diagnose diseases, perform tests and refer patients to specialists. The salary, training and educational requirements of a pediatrician are very similar to those of a family physician with the only major difference being the age range of the patients.
