      I'm having an issue correctly formatting a medical specialty for a gastroenterologist. The Google structured data tool is giving me the error of "The property specialty is not recognized by Google for an object of type _Physician". _

      Any suggestions on how to correctly update the schema code for a physician's specialty?

      Thanks,

      Keith

        I realized the image with the schema code is difficult to read. Here are the 2 lines, which are relevant to the question...

        http://schema.org/Physician">http://schema.org/ Gastroenterologic"  />

          Keith, it seems that speciality is not a valid property. The documentation doesn't mention it at all, so I would look into using MedicalSpecialty which you can find more information right here: http://health-lifesci.schema.org/medicalSpecialty

              Hi Martijn. You're right that we should use MedicalSpecialty, but we are still getting an error in the Google structured data tool after making this change. We'll get it figured out, I have just been busy with other projects and will look at the issue again later. Thanks!
