Cardiac surgery, a specialized branch of surgery, involves procedures performed by cardiac surgeons on the heart and large arteries. It is commonly employed to manage ischemic heart disease, often through coronary artery bypass surgery, which improves blood flow to the heart. Additionally, it is used to correct congenital heart defects present from birth and to treat diseases affecting the heart valves. In more severe cases, heart transplantation, a complex surgical procedure, may be performed. This field plays a critical role in improving the quality of life for patients with heart conditions and in many cases, saving lives.

Ophthalmology is a medical specialty that focuses on the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the eye, eyelid, and tear ducts. An ophthalmologist is skilled in diagnosing and treating a variety of eye conditions and performing eye surgeries. The human eye can be impacted by various incidents and diseases, including microbial infections, glaucoma, cataracts, trichiasis, and retinal detachment. As ophthalmologists also conduct eye surgeries, this specialty encompasses both medicine and surgery. In Iran, this field is recognized and taught in universities across various cities including Tehran, Tabriz, Rasht, Mashhad, Yazd, Shiraz, Ahvaz, and Kerman.

An oncologist is a medical professional who specializes in diagnosing cancer and determining its stage of progression. They are responsible for identifying the most effective treatment options and communicating the potential benefits and side effects to the patient. Throughout the course of cancer treatment, they oversee the patient's progress, making necessary adjustments to the treatment plan as needed. Post-treatment, they manage the patient's care, monitoring for any signs of recurrence and helping the patient navigate the recovery process. Their role is integral to providing comprehensive cancer care, from diagnosis to recovery.

Orthodontics is a specialized field within dentistry. The term "orthodontics" is derived from two Latin words: "artu," meaning "straight," and "udon," meaning "tooth." As one of the most significant dental specialties, orthodontics is primarily concerned with the correction of malocclusions or improper alignment of teeth. This misalignment could be due to the incorrect positioning of the teeth, the relative positioning of the two jaws, or a combination of these factors. Orthodontic treatments aim to correct the position of the teeth and, in some cases, alter the pattern and direction of jaw development through orthopedic treatments. This specialty plays a crucial role in improving oral health and enhancing the aesthetics of one's smile.

Radiation oncology is a specialized field dedicated to the management of cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy. The role of a radiation oncologist involves formulating and prescribing individualized treatment plans for each patient, and subsequently monitoring the accuracy of the treatment delivery. They also keep a close eye on the patient's progress throughout the treatment, ensuring their well-being. A crucial part of their job is to identify and manage any side effects that may arise from radiation therapy. Collaborating closely with the entire oncology team, radiation oncologists play a pivotal role in the comprehensive care of cancer patients.
