Well, the exact requirements vary from state to state and from whichever training center/ technical college you go to. More likely than not you will need to provide current CPR certification, vaccination record, possibly a verification of health insurance, and maybe your driver's license. \n\nFor a better idea of what to expect, check in with your local ambulance service, and also the nearest school that has an EMT program.

I don't know any schools in your area but I have some info that might help.\n\nCheck the local hospitals as they might have a school there as well as the local technical colleges. \n\n Besides from the grades, you need a background in chemistry and anatomy.  So if you don't have those classes you should take them before you can even get into the program.  You also need to have experience in hospital setting and if that means volunteering at hospitals or old age homes, get out and do it.  The more you have the better they will look at you.\n\nIn my area, the wait list is about 2 years long to get into the program and you have to have prereqs done before you can even apply to get onto the wait list.  \n\nWhen you find the school you'd like to attend they should have a course guideline that will tell you the classes you need to finish your degree.\n\nHope this link helps.\n\nGood luck in your career change.

First, excel at high school so you can go to a good university.\nThen go to a good university, take:\n1 year general chemistry\n1 year organic chemistry\n1 year physics\n1 year calculus\n1 year biology\n1 year English\nThen in your third year, take the MCAT (it's an 8 hour exam -- study hard). Apply to medical school at the start of your 4th year. Graduate with your baccalaureate degree.\n\nAssuming you make it to medical school, you do 4 years of that. Then apply for a pediatrics residency program. That's a 3 to 4 year residency.\n\nSo the break down: 4 years HS, 4 years university, 4 years medical school, 3 years training.\n\nWhat makes pediatrics special is that it's not about giving medicine to small people. Children are different in their physiology and psyche. You have to learn how to talk to kids, how to treat them because they don't respond to medical care (and I'm not talking about medication here, I'm talking about actual care-giving and bedside manner) the way adults do. \n\nAlso, the afflictions you'll be dealing with will be different compared to physicians who handle adults. Children get a lot of infectious diseases. You will learn a lot about immunization, common infection, and the like. You will also need to know a lot about endocrinology because growth is such a major part of child health, and growth is governed by hormones.\n\nLast thing you might wanna note: pediatricians are the lowest paid doctors. It's definitely a labor of love.\n\nAnyway, I hope this was useful to you. My boss is a pediatrician, but she gave up clinical practice to come work for the health department.
