1. health,math,english,biochemistry,biology... I love to be pediatrics.
2. it depends on where you are. In america, it would be the same as other premed requirements... so there'd be biology, chemistry, physics, organic chemistry, english, and also biochemistry, physiology, anatomy, and psychology if possible. You should probably also get involved with mentoring etc for kids those kinds of volunteering things. You'd basically apply to med school, do your time and then you'd apply for a residency program in pediatrics... so it will actually take a while before you get there. If you're looking at colleges with great pediatric programs (for your residency), you'll want to definitely look at: Harvard, UPenn, Johns Hopkins, University of Cincinnati, Baylor, University of Colorado, UCLA, University of Washington, and Washington University in St. Louis. Those are the top pediatric programs in america.
