Specialists Especially Interested In Baby Boomers

A number of factors point to a positive outlook for this industry, namely the aging of the population, technological developments and growth in patient visits. In particular, specialists in cardiovascular, orthopedic, ophthalmology and urology are likely to reap the most benefits from an aging population; clearly, growing old isn't all that bad!

This industry comprises establishments or health practitioners having the degree of M.D. (Doctor of Medicine) or D.O. (Doctor of Osteopathy) primarily engaged in the independent practice of general* or specialized medicine (e.g., anesthesiology, oncology, ophthalmology and psychiatry) or surgery. These practitioners operate private or group practices in their own offices (e.g., centers, clinics) or in the facilities of others, such as hospitals or HMO medical centers. *This industry specifically excludes Offices of General and Family Practice Physicians, which are included in a separate industry (NAICS 62111a). A physician specialty is any specific branch of medicine in which a physician may concentrate.
