"I have been following this topic, and I see the future of pediatrics as having an increase in the number of prevention programs to spread awareness about childhood diseases and to educate communities on how to live more healthy lives. I also see fewer in-person office visits and more of a telemedicine or telehealth approach taking place. Due to the rising costs of running a solo or small group practice, I see more pediatricians working for private companies and fewer pediatricians entering the workforce with the reduced number of medical students entering pediatrics."
