What Does a Pediatrician Do?

A pediatrician is a specialist doctor who focuses on the health of children and adolescents. They diagnose and treat illnesses, monitor development and growth, and provide advice to parents on the child's health and well-being. Pediatricians often work in hospitals, health centers, or specialized pediatric clinics. They may also be involved in research and teaching.

Salary for Pediatricians

The average salary for a pediatrician is 92 200 SEK per month. There is a slight difference between genders, with men earning 93 800 SEK and women earning 90 800 SEK, meaning that women earn 97% of what men do. The salary has increased from 86 400 SEK to 92 200 SEK since last year, indicating a positive salary development in the profession.

Education and Qualifications

To become a pediatrician, one must first complete medical school, which is approximately 5.5 years long. After this, a period of general internship (AT) of about 18-24 months is required to obtain a medical license. This is followed by specialization in pediatrics, which takes an additional 5 years. The training is demanding and lengthy, but the profession is also very rewarding and significant.

Job Opportunities and Outlook

According to the forecasts from the Swedish Public Employment Service, the opportunities to find work as a pediatrician are very good. Nationally, the job prospects are considered strong, and demand is expected to increase over the next five years. However, there are recruitment difficulties in the field, which means that employers may find it challenging to find the right expertise.

Benefits and Working Conditions

For pediatricians, there may be several benefits depending on the employer. These may include paid training, research opportunities, flexible working hours, and possibly a company-paid mobile phone or other technical aids. Working conditions vary depending on the workplace, but pediatricians can generally expect a stimulating and challenging work environment.

Considerations for Becoming a Pediatrician

Working as a pediatrician requires not only medical expertise but also a great deal of empathy and patience. Children can sometimes be difficult to communicate with, and being able to build trust is crucial. Additionally, it is important to be able to handle stress and make quick decisions in critical situations. If you have a passion for working with children and adolescents and want to contribute to their health and development, this may be the right profession for you.
