An MD Pediatrician is primarily trained in diagnosing, treating, and managing health conditions in children, but their training does not focus on performing surgeries. Pediatricians are experts in child healthcare, dealing with medical issues such as infections, growth disorders, and chronic conditions. However, paediatricians do not have the surgical skills required for performing surgeries.

MD Paediatrics and MD Medicine are both postgraduate medical degrees, but they differ in their focus and scope. MD Paediatrics specializes in the healthcare of infants, children, and adolescents, covering areas such as neonatology, child development, and pediatric diseases. It is ideal for those passionate about child health and willing to work closely with young patients and their families. In contrast, MD Medicine focuses on adult healthcare, encompassing a broader range of internal medical conditions, including cardiology, neurology, and endocrinology.

Pediatrics courses are typically pursued as an MD rather than an MS. The MD Pediatrics is a PG medical degree that focuses on the comprehensive care of infants, children, and adolescents, including diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of childhood diseases. In contrast, MS generally pertains to surgical specializations. Therefore, to specialize in pediatrics, one would pursue an MD rather than an MS.
