The easiest way for you to learn this is to go to the yellow pages, open to physicians and look at them all.

The major ones are:
Family practice
Internal Medicine
Surgery
Obstetrics/Gynecology
Pediatrics
Psychiatry.

There are also many others, including but not limited to: Allergy/Immunology, Anesthesiology, Cardiology, Dermatology, Emergency Medicine, Epidemiology, Geriatrics, Gastroenterology, Nephrology, Neurology, Neonatology, Oncology, Ophthalmology, Pathology, Plastic/Reconstructive Surgery, Radiology, Rheumatology,Sports Medicine, Urology.

Each of these branches also has several to many subspecialties.

the best way to see them all is to look at the match web site (this is where med students go to find a residency) and look at them all.
you can also mix and match. if you want to do emergency pediatrics for example, you can go right into that specialty, but there aren't many spots. you could always get a residency in pediatrics right after med school and then do an emergency medicine fellowship. there's a lot of latitude for what specialization a person can have. as long as there's a teaching hospital that offers it, you can do it.
