診療科
Medical specialty/ja
診療科とは、特定の患者、疾患、技術、または哲学に特化した診療分野のことである。例えば、小児(小児科)、がん(腫瘍学)、検査医学(病理学)、またはプライマリ・ケア(家庭医学)のみを扱う医学の一分野である。医師や外科医などの臨床医は、医学部やその他の基礎訓練を修了した後、通常、複数年のレジデンシーを修了して専門医になることで、特定の医学の専門分野でさらに医学教育を受ける。
医療の専門化の歴史
ある程度までは、医薬品を扱う医師は昔から専門化されていた。ガレノスによれば、ローマ時代の医師の間では専門化が一般的であった。現代の専門医制度は19世紀に徐々に発展した。正式な法制度よりも先に、医学の専門性に対する社会的な非公式な認識が発展したのである。医学を様々な専門分野に細分化することは、国によって異なり、やや恣意的である。
医療の専門性の分類
診療科はいくつかの軸で分類することができる。それらは以下の通りである:
- 外科または内科
- 患者の年齢層
- 診断か治療か
- 臓器別か手技別か
歴史上、最も重要なのは、外科専門医と内科専門医に分かれることであった。外科の専門分野とは、診断と治療の重要な部分が、主要な外科的技術によって達成される専門分野である。内科の専門分野とは、診断や治療の主体が決して大手術ではない専門分野である。ある国では、麻酔学は外科学に分類されている。これは、麻酔科医が自ら大手術を行うことはないが、手術の過程では不可欠だからである。
多くの専門分野は臓器別である。多くの症状や病気は特定の臓器に由来する。また、もともとはX線を中心とした放射線学のように、一連の技術を中心としたものもある。
どの専門医が診る患者の年齢層は、かなり幅がある。小児科医は、外科手術を必要としない小児の愁訴や疾患のほとんどを扱っており、小児科には、成人の臓器別専門科を模倣したいくつかの下位専門科(正式または非公式)がある。小児外科は、小児の外科的不定愁訴を扱う別個の専門分野である場合もあれば、そうでない場合もある。
さらに細分化すると、診断専門医と治療専門医がある。診断プロセスはすべての専門分野で非常に重要であるが、病理学、臨床神経生理学、放射線学など、主に診断検査のみを行う専門家もいる。この境界線は、インターベンショナル・ラジオロジーという、画像の専門知識を駆使して低侵襲の手技を行う発展途上の分野によって、やや曖昧になりつつある。

In addition, the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons supervises training of specialist medical practitioners specializing in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in addition to its role in the training of dentists. There are approximately 260 faciomaxillary surgeons in Australia.
The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners is a distinct body from the Australian Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. There are approximately 5100 members of the RNZCGP.
Within some of the larger Colleges, there are sub-faculties, such as: Australasian Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine Archived 2014-12-11 at the Wayback Machine within the Royal Australasian College of Physicians
There are some collegiate bodies in Australia that are not officially recognised as specialities by the Australian Medical Council but have a college structure for members, such as: Australasian College of Physical Medicine
There are some collegiate bodies in Australia of Allied Health non-medical practitioners with specialisation. They are not recognised as medical specialists, but can be treated as such by private health insurers, such as: Australasian College of Podiatric Surgeons
Canada
Specialty training in Canada is overseen by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and the College of Family Physicians of Canada. For specialists working in the province of Quebec, the Collège des médecins du Québec also oversees the process.
Germany
In Germany these doctors use the term Facharzt.
India
Specialty training in India is overseen by the Medical Council of India, responsible for recognition of post graduate training and by the National Board of Examinations. Education of Ayurveda in overseen by Central Council of Indian Medicine (CCIM), the council conducts UG and PG courses all over India, while Central Council of Homoeopathy does the same in the field of Homeopathy.
Sweden
In Sweden, a medical license is required before commencing specialty training. Those graduating from Swedish medical schools are first required to do a rotational internship of about 1.5 to 2 years in various specialties before attaining a medical license. The specialist training lasts 5 years.
United States
There are three agencies or organizations in the United States that collectively oversee physician board certification of MD and DO physicians in the United States in the 26 approved medical specialties recognized in the country. These organizations are the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) and the American Medical Association (AMA); the American Osteopathic Association Bureau of Osteopathic Specialists (AOABOS) and the American Osteopathic Association; the American Board of Physician Specialties (ABPS) and the American Association of Physician Specialists (AAPS). Each of these agencies and their associated national medical organization functions as its various specialty academies, colleges and societies.
Certifying board | National organization | Physician type |
---|---|---|
ABMS | AMA | MD and DO |
ABPS | AAPS | MD and DO |
AOABOS | AOA | DO only |
All boards of certification now require that medical practitioners demonstrate, by examination, continuing mastery of the core knowledge and skills for a chosen specialty. Recertification varies by particular specialty between every seven and every ten years.
In the United States there are hierarchies of medical specialties in the cities of a region. Small towns and cities have primary care, middle sized cities offer secondary care, and metropolitan cities have tertiary care. Income, size of population, population demographics, distance to the doctor, all influence the numbers and kinds of specialists and physicians located in a city.
Demography
A population's income level determines whether sufficient physicians can practice in an area and whether public subsidy is needed to maintain the health of the population. Developing countries and poor areas usually have shortages of physicians and specialties, and those in practice usually locate in larger cities. For some underlying theory regarding physician location, see central place theory.
The proportion of men and women in different medical specialties varies greatly.
Satisfaction and burnout
A survey of physicians in the United States came to the result that dermatologists are most satisfied with their choice of specialty followed by radiologists, oncologists, plastic surgeons, and gastroenterologists. In contrast, primary care physicians were the least satisfied, followed by nephrologists, obstetricians/gynecologists, and pulmonologists. Surveys have also revealed high levels of depression among medical students (25 - 30%) as well as among physicians in training (22 - 43%), which for many specialties, continue into regular practice. A UK survey conducted of cancer-related specialties in 1994 and 2002 found higher job satisfaction in those specialties with more patient contact. Rates of burnout also varied by specialty.

- Occupational medicine – branch of clinical medicine that provides health advice to organizations and individuals concerning work-related health and safety issues and standards. See occupational safety and health.
- Disaster medicine – branch of medicine that provides healthcare services to disaster survivors; guides medically related disaster preparation, disaster planning, disaster response and disaster recovery throughout the disaster life cycle and serves as a liaison between and partner to the medical contingency planner, the emergency management professional, the incident command system, government and policy makers.
- Preventive medicine – part of medicine engaged with preventing disease rather than curing it. It can be contrasted not only with curative medicine, but also with public health methods (which work at the level of population health rather than individual health).
- Medical genetics – the application of genetics to medicine. Medical genetics is a broad and varied field. It encompasses many different individual fields, including clinical genetics, biochemical genetics, cytogenetics, molecular genetics, the genetics of common diseases (such as neural tube defects), and genetic counseling.
