How to Ace Your Pediatrics Residency Interview

You must be able to swaddle at a moments notice

My mom always loves to tell the story about how when I was little I came into the doctor really sick with pneumonia. Like any sick little kid, I didn't want someone poking me and I certainly didn't want to open my mouth so the doctor could see my throat. Instead of just calling in a nurse to restrain me and get the exam done, my pediatrician offered to do an exam on my stuffed animal first. She listened to his heart, did a reflex test, gave him a shot with a bandaid, and even diagnosed him with cataracts (he was very "well loved" and his plastic eyes were crackled). At the end she asked if I was ready for it to be my turn and lo and behold, I was suddenly very cooperative. It was thanks to her that despite being in and out of the doctor's office often as a child (I had a good number of health issues), and despite my occasional fussiness, I never developed a fear of phobia of doctors. pediatricians

[@tessat338]

Our dentist and hygienist did something similar with our two-year old son. I was examined first by the hygienist and our dentist wandered in during my exam and cleaning. We started talking about children's tv and the contents of the office treasure chest filled with toys. My son got to pick out FIVE toys while I was getting my exam. They were all discussing the quality of the toys and the options for toothpaste flavors, like chocolate and bubble gum! By the time my exam was finished, my son, the hygienist and the dentist were all old friends. Since we were there and since my son had seen ahead of time what a dental exam entailed, he felt comfortable getting into the chair and letting the hygienist brush his teeth with the special flavored tooth paste. Then, since the dentist "happened" to be there, my son was proud to show the dentist his new teeth and to let the dentist "count" his teeth. My son has never developed a phobia of dentists either.

When I was little, I used to refuse to leave the pediatricians office without hugging my doctor. Even if I was just getting seen by nurses for a flu shot, I'd walk to the back to say hello. He was a great doctor. Years later, when I was shadowing a surgeon in a surgery center, I saw him but didn't want to disrupt a busy man. I told my mom and she texted him to tell him I guess. When he found out I was at the surgery center, he drove back to the building on his lunch break and sat in the back with me and talked about my med school aspirations between two surgeries. Pediatrics isn't easy, but I've never met a doctor as kind and caring as my old pediatrician. Edit: Just got a job working at his office for the summer so I can get clinical hours for medical school!!! I’m so excited!!! Edit 2: I just received an early admissions offer for MED SCHOOL!!!! I’m a sophomore now, so it guarantees my matriculation into med school after I graduate! I can’t stop crying, I can’t believe I’m going to be a doctor!

[@magicxry8083]

@@nanaabdulkadir3114 it is confusing, after 3 years of basic training in general paediatrics you can go directly into subspeciality cardiology training and become a paediatric cardiologist but if you finished 6 years of General paediatric training (including 3 yrs of advanced training), I think equivalent to “hospital paediatrician training in North America” and then do cardiology training, you become both a general paediatrician qualified to work as a general paediatrician in hospitals and a paediatric cardiologist which I’ve done and many here in Australia choose to do.

A little late to the party but I will never forget when i was interning for a couple of weeks in neuropediatrics, we had a 6-year old with GBS - she had lost the ability to walk in just a couple of days, was always in pain and crying. There was a a resident who looked quite overworked most of the time, didn't smile a lot and one day, we were sitting in the residents' room doing paperwork when the other resident came from outside opening the door and said "Dr. x, someone is here to see you" and in walked the little girl smiling and holding her mother's hand then she limped on her own to the desk he was sitting at and his face immidiately lit up when he saw her then she hugged him. The scene kept playing in my head for weeks after and I still remember it and smile from ear to ear.

[@river1403]

Jokes aside, I think paediatricians are really cool. They do all the stuff that GPs do normally, but with tiny humans with bodies that change very quickly. And they often have to deal with ignorant/hesitant parents, which requires a lot of patience. I admire them for that.

Not to mention the fact that kids often can't describe or don't always show what's wrong with them. If it's something congenital they don't even know the difference.

My pediatrician was always someone i trusted so much. When I was little, I always loved seeing him despite being normally shy. When I turned 16 and finally told him I was feeling anxious and depressed, I was scared he wouldn't take me seriously because when I had panic attacks to the point I was in the hospital afraid I was dying, I always thought I annoyed the staff (and I get maybe I did) he just hugged me and said "I've known you since you were a baby, so don't be afraid or anxious around me, I'm always here to help." Sweetest man ever

[@elikeenan136]

Honey: When you are so panicked that you are in the hospital, then you deserve to be welcome there. You are not a burden or an annoyance. My mom works in a pediatric ER and when kids come in who are having some sort of non-body problem (in kid talk: scared or sad or mad) they are welcome and all the nurses wish is that there was a concrete treatment they could give. Your experiences are valid, you are important, mental health is health. Feeling like you were going to die is a perfectly good reason to access health care. 🌻

[@CDBean74]

I've been in Pediatrics for 18 years now. I can relate to just about everything in that video (I'm not in an academic center, so no research grant deadlines). Those little hugs can make up for a lot of the other chaos that goes on during the day.

Surgical Technology is the best job ever!!! In school we relearn everything from kindergarten, like how to count. How to get dressed and help dress others. What to call all our toys, how to share our toys and how to ask for more. We also learn how to clean up after ourselves. Then, in practice, we get to hand everything to someone else and (quietly) tell them here, you do it. We ask for things and the circulator has to get it for us. Then at the end of the case I always think wow, I won that round, let’s play again!

I don’t know about hospital pediatrics but I LOVE my children’s pediatrician. He keeps a binder of vaccine evidence in every room with a one page article that is well written in layman’s terms followed by more information about studies. His NP is amazing and he just got a PA as well meaning now 3 people who can treat kids in a small private office, plus his fantastic staff. The amazing thing he does that no other doctors have done (in my experience) is when we have needed specialists he makes sure we are seen. When my son was 3 months old he had issues requiring a pediatric pulmonologist, they said the soonest we could be seen was in 2 weeks, he personally called the doctor and we received a call back that they would see us the next day. Another time I had a question about getting my kids tested for a genetic disease that causes kidney stones that I have, he wasn’t familiar with it and immediately pulled out his cell phone and texted a pediatric urologist to ask if we should see her for a work up. Recently my daughter was 12 and her arm wouldn’t stop hurting, it seemed like a nurse maid’s elbow (dislocated elbow common when small kids get yanked by the hand) they had us wait and when they came back had an address for a pediatric orthopedist and said they would fit us in when we showed up. Thank goodness it was a sprain according to x rays, I truly thought it was dislocated by the amount of pain she was in (I think it is possible it did dislocate but it popped back in when she grabbed it to cushion it, she has loose joints and extra flexibility/some double jointedness, we are working on strengthening with PT so her muscles can better protect her joints)

Every time I drive to work I’m thinking 'duck all of this, I’m going to quit, I don’t wanna do this all day' and want to scream just thinking about some parents. Then a six/seven year old's eyes light up when they see me and they tell me they've missed me and I remember how nice my job is :)

Really special, earnest people populate this realm.

My kids CRNP is the best. Has every detail of my kids memorized, recognizes them on sight, and has come over to say hi a couple times when seeing us out and about. Plenty of doctors think they're God's gift to man, but with pediatricians it's often true.

I am 30 now, and I will always remember my pediatrician as one of the best people I have ever known.

[@ellier.537]

That almost made me cry. So sweet.

[@argalib]

So, he immediately forgot about all the other stuffs. A perfect pediatric doctor 🥰

[@jessepack180]

I’m a pediatrician and this is my life. I’m still happy to do my job, even when I have to be in there places at once.

[@krisherman3513]

Being in Pediatrics is a bit like giving birth. Selective amnesia kicks in and you forget the bad stuff. 20 years out of residency and I just remember the hugs!

[@giolinastamouli253]

I was waiting for the punchline but this is just the cutest video you ever made 😍

[@shrutimishra1095]

That is the single most accurate description I have seen of pediatric residency on KZbin!! "I can't be at three places at once" is something we say almost every 2 hours😂

[@Ajehy]

Me: *taking notes because my next romance novel stars a med student aiming for pediatrics*

[@mdamico1909]

I have watched over 6 hours of content on your channel in a sitting today. This one was my favorite! Brilliant, watched it twice!

[@mothmaam7685]

AWWW! That ending was SO! SWEET!

[@idilev.4627]

As a pediatric surgeon i have to tell you: the hugs and smiles from kids really do make you forget all that other stuff:)

[@doomsdayaddams2894]

Awwwwwwww. When my second baby went in for her first office visit, we had a new pediatrician. He looked her in the face and said, “You look like you just want to sing.” It enchanted both of us.

[@daylebrown7055]

pediatricians and veterinarians - the nicest medical people in the world (and some ophthalmologists!)

[@thefarmingnurse]

I miss our pediatrician back where we lived last. This new one near home is very nice and compassionate as well. Growing up, my whole family saw the same family medicine physician. He was awesome. We got lucky

[@udp]

Brilliant! I love the moment when other Doctors have discuss "which specialty is like piece of cake" and talking about pediatrist who appears immediately for ruining every argument they have. -- It's not a "funny hat". It's a hat of pain. No one except pediatrist deserves to wear it.

[@fatemehfallahi5856]

No im not crying.. :")) Actually when I was a child I had a dream to be a pediatrician, now I'm studying master science of pediatric nursing. I really love this field.

[@camilahebling]

Being a kids music teacher I totally identify with forgetting the bad stuff because of the good things 🥰

[@MusikGirl23]

And the hug…but yes, add in a cough(music teacher of thirteen years! Love what I do)

[@paopaomedfat]

Primary care internist here. I’m crying after watching this. Appreciative patients truly make all the stress and overwhelming workload worth it

[@DrDingsGaster]

Man, those hugs are worth it. I work in preschool so it's not quite the same but I know that all of the pain and headaches you get from that stuff is worth it for the good moments!

[@sentientsquid7069]

The ending really got me 😭💕

[@shirellejacobs4519]

This is my 4 babies pediatrician. She's awesome!! I literally read medical journal synopsis on the vaccine and decided in a 15 min window of speaking with her decided it was the only choice for my kiddos. She really is apart of our families trusted advisors.

[@lz3923]

Loved it!! I hope Psychiatry is next!

[@charlifainter2116]

Omg I love it. My kids doctor is always so frantic when she comes in, always apologizes for how long it's taking her, and I always put on my massage therapist voice and let her know it's okay, and that she's fantastic.
