Although majoring in science is not necessary, the college student must take 2 courses in Biology, two courses in Chemistry, two courses in Calculus, two courses in Organic Chemistry and a few other must have courses such as Physics and statistics.   Then you must apply to a medical school, complete 4 years of med school and then train an additional three years after med school to become a pediatrician.
