Pediatrics

Branch of medicine caring for children

Pediatrics (American English), also spelled paediatrics (British English) and also known as underage medicine, is the branch of medicine that involves the medical care of infants, toddlers, children, adolescents, and young adults. Within the Commonwealth, pediatrics covers patients until the age of 18, except in India where the pediatric age is 12. 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 26, depending on insurance coverage for young adults who reside with parents.
