Although the terms specialization and generalization can apply to just about any endeavor, the most common use of the terms is in medical practice.

In the simplest terms, a Doctor Who treats only heart conditions or foot conditions is a specialist in those areas, has learned as much as possible about those specific conditions. That is their specialization.

A doctor who treats any condition that comes through the door has a general practice. A 'general practitioner' has learned as much as possible about most of the medical conditions that affect people. A great percentage of patients of a general practitioner can be treated by that doctor, but if the patient has a serious condition of the heart, the foot, or any other specific condition, the generalist sends the patient to see a specialist in that condition.

Most scientific professions are divided into specialties as well as many other professions, hobbies, Arts and Crafts, sports, and entertainment.
