I can't speak to doctors, but I know a few nurse practitioners and jobs will auto-reject if you don't have the correct specialty. A quick search reveals there's at least 13 specialties [1]. "We need an adult gerontology nurse practitioner, not orthopedics."
I thought this was interesting because a common programmer hiring model assumes you can train an exceptional programmer to your specific stack regardless of their existing specialty. I'd argue programming specialties are still broad, maybe frontend, backend, iOS, android, and embedded. Perhaps as the software development matures, we'll see more specialized fragmentation.
