Medical Specialty Abbreviations Printed below are the CODES FOR SELF-DESIGNATION OF PRACTICE SPECIALTIES (SDPS) appearing in this Directory (the codes are defined by the American Medical Association). SDPS’s are designated by physicians when they verify their membership information, and based on their reported practice of medicine. Board certification/eligibility is not a requirement for self-designation of most specialty codes. Specialties that are similar are often grouped together for ease in identifying subspecialties.
