Pediatrics also spelled paediatrics,is the branch of medicine that involves the medical care of infants,children,adolescents,and young adults. In the United Kingdom,pediatrics covers many of their youth until the age of 18. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends people seek pediatric care through the age of 21,but some pediatric subspecialists continue to care for adults up to 25. Worldwide age limits of pediatrics have been trending upward year after year. A medical doctor who specializes in this area is known as a pediatrician,or paediatrician. The word pediatrics and its cognates mean "healer of children",derived from the two Greek words:παῖς and ἰατρός. Pediatricians work in clinics,research centers,universities,general hospitals and children's hospitals,including those who practice pediatric subspecialties.
