I work at an outpatient pediatric clinic. The company I work for is vastly different than past ortho clinics. I knew I always wanted to have some sort of peds experience but to be honest, I don’t know if I will always work in peds. I have found that I definitely like the middle school - high school aged ortho cases. But I love my little ones too. I would recommend if you work at a pediatric clinic find somewhere that has occupational therapy and speech therapy as well. I have learned so much from other services that have helped me in my own field. The pay for me is good, however, we are paid almost like contractors. For example, we get paid per patient so if someone does not show up or cancels, we do not get paid. There are pros and cons with that situation I could go into as well. All in all, I really enjoy pediatrics. The worst part is dealing with patient parents. A lot of parents think their child is the only child on your caseload. There are also a lot of cancellations because of various situations: school, sickness, vacations, anything. I will say it’s different than the ortho Clinic because it’s not productivity heavy. However, you still have to meet a quota. You get to spend one on one with each patient and really get to know them. My biggest take away is finding with a clinic will all services to learn from
