This paper seeks to provide a systemic perspective on the development of medical specialization in France. Making use of information in medical directories of the period, it offers a quantitative analysis of developing specialization in Paris and the major provincial cities from 1880 to 1935. The first section examines the size and scope of the different specialties in 1884, 1905, 1920, and 1935. The second section analyses evolving patterns of linkage among specialties through the cases of multiple identification which occurred. The final part looks at the relative élitist character of specialties as measured by official hospital and faculty posts and membership in the Academy of Medicine. The conclusion suggests how these quantitative results might orient future research on specialization.
本文旨在提供一个关于法国医学专业化发展的系统视角。利用该时期医学名录中的信息，本文对1880年至1935年巴黎及主要省级城市专业化发展情况进行了定量分析。第一部分考察了1884年、1905年、1920年和1935年不同专业的规模和范围。第二部分通过发生的多重身份识别案例分析了各专业之间联系模式的演变。最后一部分考察了以官方医院和教职岗位以及医学科学院成员身份衡量的各专业相对精英化的特征。结论提出了这些定量结果如何为未来专业化研究提供方向。
