subspecialists
Narrowly focused doctors
Subspecialists are medical doctors who have narrowed their focus beyond a general specialty to a particular area within it.
A cardiologist is a specialist; one who focuses exclusively on heart rhythm disorders is a subspecialist.
The term applies similarly in other fields where experts develop expertise in increasingly specific domains: The case required consultation with several subspecialists.
