A medical expert need not be a specialist in a particular field in order to testify regarding accepted practices in that field, but the witness should have the requisite skill, training, education, knowledge or experience from which it can be assumed that the opinion rendered is reliable. Questions regarding the precise nature and degree of the expert's experience go to the weight that the opinions should be given, which is a matter for resolution by a jury.
