What is a Pediatrician?

A pediatrician is a doctor trained to prevent and manage health problems in infants, children, teens and young adults.
To become trained in pediatrics, a doctor must take special courses for at least three years after medical school. This training prepares the pediatrician to manage children's total health care needs.

What is a Nurse Practitioner?

 

A certified registered nurse practitioner (CRNP) may practice medicine under physician supervision.  A CRNP assesses a patient’s health status by getting health histories, performing exams, and ordering and interpreting diagnostic tests.  In a pediatric practice, a nurse practitioner has special training to treat problems of children and adolescents. The CRNP consults with a pediatrician and establishes a treatment plan.
