What does subspecialty mean?

Like when a certain medical specialty has the option to do "subspecialty" for a couple of extra years why do they do it and besides more experience what do they get out of it?
Answers:
It's the ability to specialize even more in any given arena. For example, a pediatrician may decide to subspecialize in the treatment of childhood leukemia. Or an oncologist may decide to specialize in the treatment of breast cancer. And on it goes through all phases of medicine..
They do it because it is more challenging. And because they have a strong desire and drive to pursue that area of pratice. They usually end up in a much more elite, high end practice and can make alot more money.
A narrow field of study or work within a specialty, as pediatric dermatology or geriatric psychiatry.
