What are some courses that I can take to get started in a career in Child Pediatrics?

I am going for a career change, and Child Pediatrics interests me. What are some courses I can take in my community college, and how long does it take to become a Peditrician?

1. to be a pediatrician, you have to take pre-med in college for 4 years, go to medical school for 4 years and do a 3-4 year residency, focusing on pediatriacs.
2. Since you are going to a community college, go ahead and get your Associate's degree. That comprises of all your basic maths, sciences, english, etc. You will have to take all those anyway. Then, from there, you can decide which university to go to. It usually takes about 8 years to get your doctorate, depending on how hard you dive into it. Good luck.
