medical specialization
Doctor's chosen field
Medical specialization is the practice of focusing on a particular branch of medicine rather than treating all conditions.
A cardiologist specializes in heart disease, a dermatologist in skin conditions.
The term also refers to the field itself: She chose pediatrics as her medical specialization.
Specialization typically requires additional training beyond general medical education.
