physician specialty training

Physician specialty training is a structured postgraduate program doctors pursue after medical school to develop expertise in a specific area of medicine, such as cardiology or pediatrics. It involves hands-on practice, additional coursework, and supervision, allowing doctors to gain advanced knowledge and skills relevant to their chosen field. The training duration varies from a few years to over a decade, depending on the specialty. This process ensures physicians are thoroughly prepared to diagnose, treat, and manage health conditions within their specialty, ultimately providing specialized and high-quality care to patients.
