Growing interest in the emergence of subspecialties within obstetrics and gynecology prompted a survey of all Junior Fellows of the ACOG. That survey, representing the attitudes and expectations of 1702 housestaff and practitioners, disclosed that nearly 31% of obstetric-gynecologic residents planned to subspecialize as contrasted to 19.5% of postresidency obstetrician-gynecologists who either engaged in or plan to engage in subspecialty training/practice. The highest demand areas seemed to be in endocrinology and perinatology, and most subspecialists either limit or plan to limit their practice to the area specified. There was, in addition, a general feeling that subspecialists should confine their activities to major medical centers, and an unfavorable attitude was expressed toward subspecialty-board-imposed practice restrictions. Details regarding the factors influencing Junior Fellows' response to subspecialization are discussed.
对妇产科亚专业出现的兴趣日益浓厚，促使对美国妇产科医师学会（ACOG）的所有初级会员进行了一项调查。该调查代表了1702名住院医师和从业者的态度与期望，结果显示，近31%的妇产科住院医师计划从事亚专业，相比之下，从事或计划从事亚专业培训/实践的妇产科专科医师中这一比例为19.5%。需求最高的领域似乎是内分泌学和围产医学，大多数亚专科医生要么将其业务限制在特定领域，要么计划将业务限制在该领域。此外，普遍认为亚专科医生应将其活动局限于大型医疗中心，并且对亚专科委员会强加的执业限制表达了负面态度。文中讨论了影响初级会员对亚专业选择反应的因素的详细情况。
