Category
This category is the top-level index for the atlas's Medical Specialty entities: the distinct branches of medical practice this atlas documents, such as cardiology, pediatrics or oncology, each covering its own scope of practice and the conditions it typically treats. Each entry covers the specialty itself rather than a specific healer, condition or institution, which are filed under their own respective types elsewhere in the atlas.
