Rachel’s Answer

I agree that the average pediatrician makes 150K-250K per year. You will typically make more in private practice than at an academic medical center.

Conduct occupational research. One resource online is onetonline.org. Research informational interviews and try to conduct at least 3, with pediatricians in various settings. . Make sure you ask for an additional person to speak with. Build your network. Join professional associations and subscribe to journals and magazines.
