Background: Specialist physicians make up nearly half of the physicians practicing in Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) but very little is known about them. -- Methods: We examined registration data from NL to form cohorts of specialists initially licensed between 2000 and 2004 (cohort I) and between 1...
