What is working in Pediatric Cardiology like?
By
Question: I am a pre-PA student and I am really interested in working in pediatric cardiology once I am a PA. I have done lots of research, so I know most of the basics, but I was wondering if anyone had any extra input on this area of medicine. What are some good web resources about it? What is a day in the life of a PA working in pediatric cardiology like? What type of pre-PA job experience will best prepare me to work in pediatric cardiology? Any information would be really helpful! Thanks!

My advice is to see if you can go to a Pediatric Cardiology clinic and see what you are getting yourself into. That would give you the best insight into it.
I work in a Pediatric clinic at the moment…I can tell you, its a lot of noise, confusion and chaos. The kids are great but the parents can be a challenge. Especially in something like pediatric Cardiology.
I too, am a PA student. I have firmly decided against Pediatrics for those reasons. I’m not a people person.
like I said…my advice is to visit the place that interests you. Talk to the staff. Hopefully, you will love it and do well in it!
Best of luck!!
