This dimension sorts medical specialties by their basic classification, surgical, diagnostic or primary care. Wikipedia notes that a medical specialty is "a branch of medical practice that is focused on a defined group of patients, diseases, skills, or philosophy," such as "pediatrics," "oncology" or "family medicine." Browsing by classification keeps specialties of a similar kind grouped together.
