spesialisttittel
Spesialisttittel is a professional designation used to indicate that an individual has attained a recognized level of expertise in a specific field. The term is used in Norwegian and in other Nordic contexts, and similar concepts exist worldwide under different names. The title is typically conferred by a competent authority or professional body after completion of a formal, accredited specialist education and an assessment process. In practice, the designation signals that the holder can independently perform specialized tasks, supervise others, and assume responsibility for complex cases within the field.
In medicine, spesialisttittel is most common. Physicians undergo residency or specialized training in a chosen field
Outside medicine, other regulated professions may grant similar specialist titles when regulatory bodies define required training,
