- Title
A Prospective Look at the Specialty of Medical Management.
- Authors
Montgomery, Kathleen
- Abstract
Using theories of occupational boundary maintenance and expansion, the article identifies the structural conditions and resource-mobilization processes which facilitate the development of emerging occupational groups, especially specialties within the medical profession. Data from several sources, including a recent comprehensive survey of over 7,000 physicians in medical management, are presented to augment a discussion of the motivations for, and state of development of, the movement to achieve formal specialty recognition on behalf of this group.
