To recognize the most qualified pediatricians, the Council examines the number of years an individual has been practicing, his or her continuing education, membership in professional associations and completion of an approved residency program and rigorous exam in his or her specialty. The pediatricians are then awarded a point value in each category and must meet a specified cumulative point value to qualify for the list of America's Best.
