** What are the main functions of a pediatrician? The functions of a pediatrician go beyond simply treating diseases. Among his responsibilities are: * **Prevention of diseases:** Through vaccines, growth and development controls, and recommendations on healthy lifestyles.

* **Subspecialty (optional):** Some pediatricians decide to delve into areas such as neonatology, pulmonary pediatrics, or pediatric oncology hematology. The profile of the ideal pediatrician combines solid medical knowledge with a great vocation for service, patience, empathy and communication skills to interact with children and their families.
