A Medical Specialty is the type of care a provider (doctor) practices, like Cardiology, Pediatrics, or Emergency Medicine. When you tell Suki what specialty a provider (doctor) has, Suki generates notes that match how that specialty works.
**Specialties is supported by:** APIs, Web SDK, Mobile SDK, Headless Web SDK A Medical Specialty is the type of care a provider (doctor) practices, like Cardiology, Pediatrics, or Emergency Medicine. When you tell Suki what specialty a provider has, Suki generates notes that match how that specialty works. For example, a **Cardiologist** and a **Pediatrician** have different specialties, and the notes that Suki needs to generate for them will be different. * **Cardiologist**: Uses terms like "ejection fraction," "stent placement," "cardiac catheterization" * **Pediatrician**: Uses terms like "growth percentile," "vaccination schedule," "developmental milestones" When you specify the specialty, Suki: * **Uses the right medical terms** for that specialty * **Recognizes specialty-specific abbreviations** correctly * **Structures notes** the way that specialty typically documents * **Provides relevant suggestions** that match that specialty's workflow As a result, providers get more accurate notes that match how that specialty actually works in practice. ## How Medical Specialty improves clinical documentation Medical Specialty context helps Suki interpret the conversation using the language and documentation patterns of that clinical domain. | What you configure | How the note gets better | | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | | Provider specialty (for example `CARDIOLOGY` or `PEDIATRICS`) | Specialty terms and abbreviations are recognized correctly | | Specialty-aware generation | Notes follow how that specialty typically documents care | | Consistent specialty on the provider or session | Output stays aligned across visits for the same type of practice | Without specialty context, notes can miss domain-specific meaning or use generic wording. With the right specialty, generated documentation is usually closer to what the clinician would write, so review and edit time go down. ## How Medical Specialty works When you start an ambient session, specify the provider's specialty. Suki uses this information throughout the session to generate notes that match the specialty's documentation standards and terminology. Suki supports 120+ medical specialties. We regularly add new specialties as they become available. If you need a specialty that's not listed, contact support. ## How to use Medical Specialty in your application Use the Medical Specialty **Value** from the table below, such as `CARDIOLOGY`, `PEDIATRICS`, or `FAMILY_MEDICINE`. Pass the value where your integration sets provider context. The exact place depends on the product you use. Click the tabs below to see the implementation details for your integration path. Send provider specialty in ambient session context. Use `provider.specialty` when you seed or update context for the session. Pick the specialty code from the supported specialties table. Use the code value, not the display name. For example, send `CARDIOLOGY`, not `Cardiology`. Create the ambient session first and store the returned `ambient_session_id`. Use the [Context API](/api-reference/ambient-sessions/context) or [Update Context API](/api-reference/ambient-sessions/update-context) to pass the specialty before you end the session. ```python Python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-dark","dark":"material-theme-darker"}} payload = { "provider": { "specialty": "CARDIOLOGY", "provider_role": "ATTENDING", } } ``` Suki uses this specialty context when it generates the clinical note. Stream audio, end the session, and retrieve the generated content as usual. The note uses terminology and structure that match the specialty you provided. Pass the provider specialty when you create `SukiAuthManager`. The Web SDK uses this provider-level specialty for ambient note generation. Pick the specialty code from the supported specialties table. Use the code value, such as `CARDIOLOGY`. Set `providerSpecialty` when you create `SukiAuthManager`. ```javascript JavaScript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-dark","dark":"material-theme-darker"}} import { SukiAuthManager } from "@suki-sdk/core"; import { initialize } from "@suki-sdk/js"; const authManager = new SukiAuthManager({ partnerId: "", partnerToken: "", providerName: "John Doe", providerOrgId: "1234", providerSpecialty: "CARDIOLOGY", environment: "production", loginOnInitialize: true, providerId: "1234567890", }); const sdkClient = initialize({ authManager }); ``` Refer to [Ambient implementation](/web-sdk/guides/ambient-implementation) for the full Web SDK setup. Mount the Web SDK as usual. You do not need to send provider specialty again in `ambientOptions`. The provider captures and submits the ambient session in the Web SDK. Suki uses the provider specialty from authentication when it generates the note. Pass specialty when you authenticate the provider, and include it in session context when you want the active ambient session to carry provider context. Pick the specialty code from the supported specialties table. Use the code value, not the display name. If `autoRegister` is `true`, pass `providerSpecialty` with `providerName` and `providerOrgId` so registration has the provider's specialty. Refer to [Authentication hook](/headless-web-sdk/guides/hooks/auth-hook) for the full auth configuration. After `start()` and before `submit()`, call `setSessionContext` with provider specialty for the active session. ```tsx React theme={"theme":{"light":"github-dark","dark":"material-theme-darker"}} await setSessionContext({ provider: { specialty: "CARDIOLOGY", }, }); ``` Refer to [Ambient session hook](/headless-web-sdk/guides/hooks/ambient-session-hook#session-context) for the full session context shape. Submit the session as usual. Suki uses the specialty context when it generates the clinical note. Pass specialty with `SukiAmbientConstant.kProviderContext` after you create the ambient session and before note generation. Pick the specialty code from the supported specialties table. Use the code value, such as `CARDIOLOGY`. Call `createSession(withSessionInfo:)` and store the returned `sessionId`. Call `setSessionContext(with:)` and pass `kSpeciality` inside `kProviderContext`. ```swift Swift theme={"theme":{"light":"github-dark","dark":"material-theme-darker"}} let contextDetail: [String: AnyHashable] = [ SukiAmbientConstant.kProviderContext: [ SukiAmbientConstant.kSpeciality: "CARDIOLOGY" ] ] do { try SukiAmbientCoreManager.shared.setSessionContext(with: contextDetail) { result in switch result { case .success: print("Specialty updated successfully") case .failure(let error): print("Unable to update specialty: \(error)") } } } catch { print("Unable to set session context: \(error)") } ``` Refer to [Provide clinical context](/mobile-sdk/ambient-guides/provide-clinical-context) for the full context payload. Start recording, capture the visit, then end the session. Suki uses the specialty context when it generates the note. If you don't specify a specialty, Suki defaults to `FAMILY_MEDICINE`. For best results, always specify the provider's actual specialty. ## Supported specialties Suki supports the following Medical Specialties. Use the **Value** column when specifying a specialty in your code:

## Getting the list via API You can fetch the list of supported Medical Specialties by calling the Specialties API anytime. Some common use cases are: * Display specialty options in a dropdown menu * Validate specialty codes before sending them to Suki * Keep your application in sync with Suki's latest specialty additions Get the list of supported medical specialties via API ## Best practices * **Always specify the specialty**: Don't rely on the default. Providing the correct specialty improves note quality. * **Match your EHR**: Use the specialty that matches what's in your EHR system for consistency. * **Update when needed**: If a provider changes specialties, update the specialty in your session context. * **Use specific codes**: Choose the most specific specialty available (e.g., `PEDIATRIC_CARDIOLOGY` instead of `CARDIOLOGY` if applicable).
