More/Other Information: Pediatrics (also spelled paediatrics) is the branch of medicine that deals with the medical care of infants, children and adolescents (from newborn to age 16-21, depending on the country). The word pediatrics is derived from two Greek words paidi which means �child� and iatros which means �doctor�. Most pediatricians are members of a national body, such as the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Canadian Paediatric Society, the British Association of Paediatrics, the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, Norsk barnelegeforening (The Norwegian society of pediatricians) or the Indian Academy of Pediatrics.
