Secondary specialty
In the practice of medicine, physicians and surgeons are often trained in more than one specialty. However, one of these specialties will be considered as primary specialty and all others as secondary specialties. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), a physician must meet all federal and state requirements for the type of specialty(s) checked when they submit the application for participation indicating their primary and secondary specialties.
