A Prospective Look at the Specialty of Medical Management

KATHLEEN MONTGOMERY

University of California, Los Angeles

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 1,000 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.
