Pronunciation & Spelling
physician, magician, musician, politician, and technician all share the final stressed /ɪʃən/ sound (spelled '-ician'), so they rhyme with pediatrician. But pediatric, despite the similar spelling prefix 'pediatr-', is pronounced /ˌpiːdiˈætrɪk/ and does not rhyme; it ends with /ɪk/.
