Health Professionals Choose Specialization Options

Individuals engaging with a new online platform can now select from an extensive list of medical and allied health specialties, indicating their professional focus or personal affiliation within the healthcare sector.

Navigating Professional Identity

The presented options cover a broad spectrum of medical disciplines, ranging from well-established fields like Cardiology and Dermatology to more specialized areas such as Forensic Medicine and Pain Management. This comprehensive selection aims to accurately categorize users.

Diverse Fields Represented

The platform acknowledges various healthcare roles, including Medical Students and those in General Practice. Notably, a distinct option caters to individuals who identify as “not a medical professional,” ensuring inclusivity for all users, regardless of their direct involvement in clinical practice.

For instance, among the nearly 1.3 million physicians in the United States, the American Medical Association reported that in 2022, the most prevalent specialties were primary care fields, followed by surgical specialties (AMA Physician Data Profile).

Broadening Healthcare Categories

Further inclusions span areas like Health Policy, Medical Education, and Nutrition, reflecting the multifaceted nature of modern healthcare. This approach facilitates a detailed understanding of the user base and their respective professional landscapes.
