Throughout  history,  the  most  important  has  been  the  division  into  surgical  and  internal  medicine  .  The  surgical  specialties  are  the  specialties  in  which  an  important  part  of  diagnosis  and  treatment  is  achieved  through  major  surgical  .  The  internal  medicine  specialties  are  the  specialties  in  which  the  main  diagnosis  and  treatment  is  never  major  surgery.  In  some  countries  Anesthesiology  is  classified  as  a  surgical  ,  since  it  is  vital  in  the  surgical  process,  though  anesthesiologists  never  perform  major  surgery  themselves.
Many  specialties  are  organ-based.  Many  symptoms  and  diseases  come  from  a  particular  organ.  Others  are  based  mainly  around  a  set  of  techniques,  such  as  radiology,  which  was  originally  based  around  X-rays.  The  age  range  of  patients  seen  by  any  given  specialist  can  be  quite  variable.  Paediatricians  handle  most  complaints  and  diseases  in  children  that  do  not  require  surgery,  and  there  are  several  subspecialties  (formally  or  informally)  in  paediatrics  that  mimic  the  organ-based  specialties  in  adults.  Paediatric  surgery  may  or  may  not  be  a  separate  specialty  that  handles  some  kinds  of  surgical  complaints  in  children.
A  further  subdivision  is  the    versus  therapeutic  specialties.  While  the  diagnosticprocess  is  of  great  importance  in  all  specialties,  some  specialists  perform  mainly  or  only  diagnostic  examinations,  such  as  pathology,  clinical  neurophysiology,  and  radiology.  This  line  is  becoming  somewhat  blurred  with  interventional  radiology,  an  evolving  field  that  uses  image  procedures.
