DUSTIN’s Answer
Hey Emma, I really appreciate how Verizon offers me the flexibility with my work schedule. It's fantastic that I can choose the hours that suit me best. Personally, I prefer working a bit later in the day, so I usually work from 12:30pm to 9:00pm, Central Time, and I get to enjoy my weekends off. But the best part is, if I ever need to adjust my hours to finish earlier, I can easily do so. We get to bid on our preferred schedules, which is a great system because it allows us to switch things up every six months. So, if I ever fancy an earlier start, I have the freedom to make that change.

Hi Emma!
Just to clarify, my profession is quite different from a pediatrician's. I'm a dietitian-nutritionist and programmer, often working up to 15 hours a day or 105 hours a week. My passion project is developing nutrition education software, which is currently valued at over AUS $1,000,000! I also do a lot of volunteer work, which I do for free.
Now, let's talk about your question regarding a pediatrician's working hours. The specifics can vary based on factors like the pediatrician's individual practice, location, and personal preferences. But I can give you a broad idea of what a pediatrician's work schedule might look like.
Pediatricians are doctors who focus on the health of babies, children, and teenagers. They diagnose and treat medical conditions, monitor growth and development, and provide preventive care to promote the overall health of children.
Typically, pediatricians work full-time, usually around 40 to 50 hours per week. But the exact hours can vary based on where they work. Some pediatricians work in private practices, while others work in hospitals, clinics, or schools.
Pediatricians in private practice often have more control over their schedules. They usually work regular office hours from Monday to Friday, seeing patients from early morning until late afternoon or early evening. This gives them the flexibility to meet their patients' needs while also balancing their personal life.
On the other hand, pediatricians who work in hospitals or clinics may have more varied schedules. They might need to work evenings, weekends, and even overnight to provide 24/7 care for hospitalized children or handle emergencies. They often work as part of a larger medical team.
It's also important to note that pediatricians may be on-call at times, especially if they work in a hospital or emergency department. This means they're ready to handle urgent medical situations outside of regular working hours.
So, in a nutshell, a pediatrician's working hours can vary based on their work setting, personal preferences, and their patients' needs. While many work regular office hours, some may also work evenings, weekends, or be on-call to provide continuous care for children.
Here are the top 3 authoritative sources I used for this information:
1. American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) - This is the official website of the AAP, which provides valuable information about pediatric healthcare.
2. Mayo Clinic - This is a well-known medical institution that offers reliable and current information on various medical specialties, including pediatrics.
3. WebMD - Although WebMD is a popular consumer health website, it offers comprehensive and accurate information on various medical topics, including pediatric care.

When starting out in medicine you will be working very long hours.
First you will need to complete your UnderGrad degree ( you can get any type of degree as long as you take the courses required to join med school / you take the MCATS)
The first four years are spent pursuing an undergraduate degree, typically majoring in a scientific field. After that, students attend medical school for four years. Once they have graduated, doctors complete at least three years of residency training before being able to practice independently.
Explore your options.
Take premed classes and earn good grades.
Participate in meaningful extracurricular activities.
Prep for the MCAT and ace it.
Prepare applications to multiple medical schools.
Impress med school interviewers and get at least one acceptance letter.
Enroll in the right type of medical school for you.
Pass the first two portions of the allopathic or osteopathic national medical licensing exam.
Apply for and match with a residency program.
Graduate from medical school.
Start your residency and get a general medical license.
Achieve board certification within your medical specialty or subspecialty.
