Just how tough is pediatric residency, really?
Top Replies
Pediatric residency can definitely be challenging, but it's also incredibly rewarding. The hours can be long and the cases can be tough, but seeing kids get better and knowing you played a part in that makes it all worth it. Just make sure you have a strong support system in place!
I've worked with many pediatric residents and they all say the same thing - it's a lot of hard work, but it's also an amazing learning experience. You'll develop a deep understanding of child healthcare and form close bonds with your patients and their families. It's a tough road, but so worth it in the end!
I'm currently in my first year of pediatric residency and I can definitely attest to the challenges. But I also want to emphasize that it's not all doom and gloom. Yes, the hours are long and the cases can be tough, but you're surrounded by a team of amazing healthcare professionals who are all there to support you. Plus, the joy you get from helping kids is unparalleled.
