Google rich results this unlocks

MedicalEnumeration is a structural type. It does not produce a rich result on its own.

Its value comes from combining it with a primary type whose markup earns a rich result (Article, Product, Event, and so on). MedicalEnumeration becomes the trunk that the primary type branches off viamainEntityorbreadcrumb. Include it on every page as the backbone of your markup.

Common MedicalEnumeration mistakes

Mistakes that pass validation but silently fail to earn rich results or mislead consumers walking the graph. Avoid these and your markup will be ahead of most sites in the wild.

01
Typing an entity as bare MedicalEnumeration
Wrong
```
"@type": "MedicalEnumeration"
```
Right
```
Use the specific subtype (MedicalSpecialty, MedicalStudyStatus, etc.)
```
Like its parent Enumeration, MedicalEnumeration is never the right type on a value — always reach for the specific subtype.
