  2. Introduction. • The job I’m researching is a Pediatrician. • What is a pediatrician? A pediatrician is a doctor that works with kids from when they’re first born until they turn 18. • What got me interested in this career was knowing that I will work with kids and help other people. • I will be researching what kinds of responsibilities I will have while doing this job, the pay, working conditions, training, and outlook.

  3. Responsibilities. • Conduct physicals • Child immunizations • Screening for disease • Diagnosing illness • Prescribing medications

  4. Working Conditions. • This job is a physical job. • This job is indoors. You work in exam rooms/ hospitals. • Hours can exceed about 60 per week and you may be asked to come in at late hours or irregular times. • The environment is very pleasant: • Healthy/ sanitary. • Kind co workers

  5. Training/ qualifications. • 4 years of undergraduate school. (Bachelors) • 4 years of medical school.(MD) • 3-8 years of internship and residency depending on the specialty selected. • Some medical schools provide 6 years of combined undergraduate and medical. • I plan on going to the University of Michigan. • I will take a medical class in high school to help prepare for this career.

  6. Outlook/ employment. • The employment rate for pediatricians is projected to increase 22% between 2008-2018 due to expanding health care needs. • I would like to find a career opening for a pediatrician in Michigan or South Carolina. • In Michigan I’d like to work at St. Johns hospital. • In South Carolina I’d like to work at St. Josephs.

  7. Earnings. • My lifestyle goals are: Have a nice house, nice car, and be able to support my family. • The pay does fit my goals. • The typical salary for pediatricians in Michigan is $117,945- $169,872 annually. • The typical salary for a pediatrician $128,734- $142,376 annually. • The first thing I would buy is the house that I want to live in.

  8. Related Occupation. • Another occupation I would consider is being a medical assistant. • Responsibilities of medical assistant are: report to clinical coordinator assist physician, interview patients, take telephone messages, and give instructions to patients. • Work conditions for a medical assistant are similar to a pediatrician. Very sanitary, indoors (exam rooms or behind a desk). • Full time medical assistants work around 40 hours per week. • In most states, being a medical assistant just requires a high school diploma. • Employment is expected to grow 31% from 2010- 2020. • Earnings are about $28,860 per year. • I chose this job because first, it’s still in the medical field, and second, it’s a good paying job, and just something I’d be interested in.

  9. Feelings of the job. • I feel like this job will be a great job for me in the future. • I have always loved working with kids and helping other people and being able to do that will make me very happy. • Something that I look forward to the most is working with the kids and being able to help them feel better. • Something I look forward to the least is if I have to give them an immunization. I’m not great with doing that but I think I will be able to get used to it after some time.
