Abstract
n the annals of medicine 19th and 20th century shall be remembered as the age of specialization. Never before in the medical history of mankind such outburst of creative energy has been generated. The medicine we practice today is not the same which our fore-bearers did and shall not be the same which shall be practiced by the coming generations, because of technological innovations and ever changing newer modalities of treatment. Subspecialties are a reflection of the evolutionary progress of a country. Specialist addresses the unknown of medicine i.e those problems which require yet to be discovered solutions. The training of physicians and paramedical staff is an integral part of establishing the subspecialty. To know the unknown requires creative thinking. The development of biotechnology which has transformed the practice of modern medicine owes much to this creative effort.
