Abstract 

Pediatric surgeons provide care to neonates and children with a unique range of congenital, oncologic, infectious, and traumatic disorders. This unique surgical subspecialty continues to recruit outstanding trainees, despite the additional training required. This career resource guides the interested medical student and physician through the pathway to a practice in pediatric surgery. It includes a discussion of training requirements, research opportunities, board certification, and continuing education.
