Medical Specialties Quiz

I had trouble converting it into -ology

haematology should be a valid answer. nice quiz, thanks for posting!

For some reason, I found it difficult to convert dentist into an -ology. Tried orthodontics, but it didn't work.

Why isn't optometry acceptable?

yeah, please add optometry. pretty please?

dentist should be accepted.

didnt pluralize orthopedics. oops.

Radiography should be accceptable for radiology. Every X-ray tech has to be a registered radiographer. The radiologist is the doctor who looks at the scans but the radiographer is the one who takes them. (I'm a radiography student) Still a good quiz though, thanks! =)

although American spellings tend to make more sense I think paediatrics should be accepted

I agree with Englishrose.

At the risk of showing my ignorance, isn't chiropractic also a medical specialty for bones and muscles?

correct me if i'm wrong but i'm pretty sure that while psychiatrists are the medical doctor, psychology is the medical field

CBTemple - chiropractors are not educated in medical school and do not possess a medical degree, meaning they are not doctors. They have instead been trained in a chiropractic school and are given a licence to practice from there. Perhaps their lack of a medical degree is why they were not included?

Agree with courtsf on pyschology. I kept thinking epidemiology for diseases,but I guess that's not all they study.

@amlesida and courtsf, As far as I know, Psychiatry is the medical field where as Psychology is the social aspect of it. Psychologists cannot diagnose or treat unless they are also an ARNP practicing under a Psychiatrist. I think that's the divisive factor.
