If one aspires for a career in the medical field, then some medical specialty fields can prove to be the best options to gain recognition as a doctor with top-notch expertise and income.

The doctors in these fields not only save patients' lives but also charge fees ranging from lakhs to crores of rupees based on their skills. Let's learn about the top medical specializations that can bring success and hefty fees.

1. Neurosurgery – Brain and Spine Doctor

Neurosurgery is one of the most challenging and advanced branches of the medical field. The doctors belonging to this field deal with diseases related to the brain, nerves, and spinal cord. Neuro-surgeons must study extensively, have specialized training, and have a lot of patience. That is why there is a severe shortage of expert doctors in this field, and depending on the surgery, their fees run into lakhs of rupees. In foreign countries, neurosurgeons earn crores of rupees.

2. Cardiology – Experts in Heart Diseases

A cardiologist diagnoses and treats heart-related diseases. This is one area of medicine where complicated procedures are performed, such as heart surgery, angioplasty, and bypass surgery. Patients will pay any amount for the expertise of a practicing cardiologist. Cardiologists who work in private hospitals and abroad earn crores of rupees per year.

3. Oncology – Doctors who fight cancer

Cancer is a disease that is rapidly spreading across the world, and simultaneously, the demand for oncologists as its treatment is also continuously increasing. Cancer treatment includes chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery, among others. An experienced oncologist brings a ray of hope to cancer patients. The fees for doctors in this specialty can go up to Lakhs of rupees, especially if they are in private practice or international hospitals.

The SingHealth Duke-NUS Academic Medical Centre announced today the launch of two new centres under the auspices of the SingHealth Duke-NUS Global Health Institute, namely the Centre for Global Allied Health and the Centre for Global Pharmacy. These enabling platforms further global health collaboration and capacity building, with a focus on regional allied health and pharmacy practices in Asia. The announcement was made at the Singapore Allied Health Conference 2025 held at Fairmont Singapore, with distinguished speakers from local and overseas institutions to ignite learning and knowledge exchange for the allied health practitioner community.

Building on the collective strengths of SingHealth, Singapore's largest public health cluster, and the country's premier graduate-entry medical school, Duke-NUS Medical School, SDGHI was established in 2018 to coordinate and scale global health efforts. These new centers will see SingHealth and Duke-NUS reaffirm their commitment to furthering the cause of cross-border health equity. This will serve immediate needs in the changing health environment.

These two new centres come at a most opportune time when demands for specialist allied health and pharmacy expertise are growing across Asia because of rapid technological advances, ageing populations, and the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases. WHO estimates an 11 million health worker shortage by 2030, with most of them in low and lower middle-income countries. As per the World Health Organization Health Workforce Overview, this projects a shortage of over 190,000 globally for pharmacists only in 2030. 

A younger workforce in health is showing equal interest in the opportunities for international collaboration and leadership development as those for global health - another indicator of how timely the new centres are in their development. Shaping a Healthier Tomorrow, Together Global health is more than the treatment of individuals for diseases; global health is about the realisation of better health for all people by addressing the common and significant social, economic, and environmental determinants of wellbeing. Because for over 20 years, SingHealth has been collaborating on various health programmes with organisations from around the world. Many of these gained momentum with the establishment of the SDGHI in 2018-including in nursing, which, with the launch of the Centre for Global Nursing in July 2024 is going from strength to strength-and now it is in the allied health and pharmacy domains as well. Both centres tap into a legacy of over 120 global health projects involving partners from SingHealth and Duke-NUS. These include, in the allied health and pharmacy areas, the ongoing Antimicrobial Stewardship Programme in Cambodia since 2017-led with Singapore General Hospital and the NUS Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health-to promote appropriate use of antibiotics and combat resistance; several collaborative initiatives with the Singapore International Foundation including the Physiotherapy Bachelor's Programme Upgrade in Phnom Penh, Cambodia from 2012 to 2019; the Physiotherapy Education Upgrade Programme in Vientiane, Laos from 2016 to 2019, and the Occupational Therapy for Children with Special Needs in Jakarta, Indonesia from 2019 to 2025; these have collectively trained hundreds of health practitioners and educators throughout Southeast Asia to build up the education and practice of allied health in the region. These centres will be a launch pad towards advancing the cause of allied health and pharmacy in the region through leadership, training and mentorship. They will enhance inter-professional collaboration practices that enable a team of healthcare workers to work together and use resources more productively than individuals working in isolated professions. They will inspire these professionals to contribute more towards global health by underlining their critical contribution to advancing health equity. 

"Many of the challenges facing healthcare - such as an ageing population and rising costs - are common around the world; therefore, there is much opportunity for us to collaborate on developing timely and impactful global health solutions." said Professor Ng Wai Hoe, Group Chief Executive Officer, SingHealth. "The healthcare landscape is constantly evolving and we want to be at the forefront of allied health and pharmacy expertise in Singapore and beyond. The launch of the Centre for Global Allied Health and Centre for Global Pharmacy serves as a springboard for greater collaboration with our global health partners, enabling us to share and exchange expert know-how as we co-create solutions that strengthen the health and wellbeing of societies and their peoples." 

"Healthcare challenges today are increasingly complex and interconnected, requiring solutions that are both multidisciplinary and global," said Professor London Lucien Ooi, Director, SingHealth Duke-NUS Global Health Institute Through the Centre for Global Allied Health, led by Jeyamany Ruth Jacob, and the Centre for Global Pharmacy under Vivianne Shih, we will strengthen the networks across borders to share knowledge, build capacity, and improve health systems. These exchanges not only advance health equity worldwide but bring valuable insights back into Singapore, ultimately improving the care of all. Creating Near-term Impact The two new centers are likely to make an immediate impact with a series of initiatives coming on stream within the next few months. The rollout will begin with comprehensive global allied health and global pharmacy databases as key resources in connecting funders, host countries, and projects. These will be complemented by dedicated capacity-building programs that will train and mentor the next cadre of allied health and pharmacy leaders. Creating a strong community of support, the centers will also be hosting webinars and briefings to engage stakeholders and empower advocates for this critical work.

Pharmaceutical education in Telangana has witnessed an unprecedented revival this year. As many as 96 per cent of the total seats in government and private colleges put together got filled in the final round of TG EAPCET 2025 counselling for B.Pharm seats under the BiPC category. Of about 8,900 seats available in 124 colleges, the admission of 8,560 candidates was successfully allotted to aspiring pharmacy students.

Improvement in admissions proves that more students are aware of promising career opportunities in pharmacy and allied healthcare courses. This demand was not restricted to B.Pharm alone as the Pharm D courses too saw nearly full occupancy with a fill rate of 99.35%. Other programs that saw full allotments of seats were biomedical engineering and biotechnology, whereas pharmaceutical engineering remained popular with only a few vacant seats.

More than 71,000 candidates have qualified in the TG EAPCET BiPC stream this year. Over 15,000 candidates exercised web options for seats, with a robust 96.67% of around 11,000 total BiPC-related seats filled in diverse health science disciplines. The high demand indicates an increase in interest on the part of students in life sciences and healthcare education, wherein many job opportunities are opening in research, clinical pharmacy, manufacturing, and regulation.

Even today, government and university colleges in Telangana remain the first preference among students due to their quality education, modern infrastructure, and affordable fee structure that would ensure successful careers in the pharma industry. That was made possible by proactive educational institutions in the state, coupled with comprehensive counseling.

Students who were allotted seats should do the online self-reporting and physical reporting in colleges immediately to secure their admissions. Experts say this resurgence of pharmacy education enrollment can strengthen the state's health care ecosystem and the pharmaceutical industry workforce in the near future. With Telangana becoming a hub for pharmaceutical education, the encouraging seat fill-up in TG EAPCET 2025 has marked a new chapter in the commitment of the state toward nurturing skilled healthcare professionals for India's future.

Taking to LinkedIn, one HR executive warned that career depression is a very real thing and urged others to be kind to themselves.

"I had an interview this morning. It started off well — the candidate seemed confident and prepared. But ten minutes into the conversation, he suddenly zoned out," said Juhi Bhatia, a recruitment professional.

She also said the candidate went completely silent. "For a full minute, there was just. awkward quiet."

The post was followed by many comments. As one commenter put it, "We forget that behind every résumé is a nervous system trying to hold it together. Job interviews are no longer just evaluations but emotional marathons."

Another added, “Career depression hits harder when you have bills to pay and responsibilities to manage. You can only hold it together for so long-we're all human.”

"I've seen it, too: it isn't a question of skill but sometimes just an opportunity and some kindness from someone," said the third.

Another shared, “This happened to me once. I blanked out during a test because I cared too much. It hurts but we learn.”

What is Career Depression?

It is also referred to as work depression or career depression syndrome, which is an emotional condition that one develops continuously from job dissatisfaction, burnout, or career stressors. Unlike temporary stress, it brings ongoing hopelessness, exhaustion, and disengagement since one's mental health, productivity, and quality of life may be affected.

The common triggers of career depression are a toxic work environment, lack of career fulfillment, too much workload, poor work-life balance, and job insecurity.

Following are indications for the same including: Emotional: sadness, irritability, loss of motivation, feeling trapped Physical: Fatigue, headaches, sleep problems, changes in appetite Behavioral — procrastination, low productivity, withdrawal from coworkers

The polytechnic colleges of Tamil Nadu have achieved a remarkable feat by recording the highest National Service Scheme enrollment among students in the country.

This is because of youth volunteers, especially the active participation of NSS Programme officers, with consistent encouragement given by the DOTE, according to officials.

About the National Service Scheme

NSS is a flagship programme of the Union Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, whereby students can involve themselves in community service or nation-building activities. The scheme was first introduced in polytechnic institutions of Tamil Nadu in 1983–84. In the beginning, when the scheme was launched, the number of colleges included was 10, with 1,000 student volunteers. Over the years, the programme has grown exponentially.

“Today, NSS units function in 335 polytechnic colleges with 45,500 registered volunteers, the highest among polytechnic institutions across India,” said a senior DOTE official.

In the period from 2000 to 2004, there was a sharp rise in participation in NSS, and enrollment rose to 20,765 students. "More than 45,000 students have joined in the last five years alone from 2019 to 2025, indicating a new interest among the youth to serve society." The official said,

He added, "NSS continues to act as a transformative platform to shape character and behaviour, molding students into socially responsible citizens."

NSS in Tamil Nadu has been instrumental in establishing Red Ribbon Clubs across 250 polytechnic colleges also for creating awareness about HIV/AIDS and other related health issues.

The state received many national awards over the years because it implemented the scheme in the most effective manner and integrated service with skills-based learning.

NSS volunteers in Tamil Nadu are involved with a broad spectrum of community-oriented programmes, starting from tree plantation drives, health education campaigns, disaster management workshops, road safety and first aid training, and women's self-employment initiatives to technical training for rural youth. "More than 90 per cent of these activities achieved their intended goals because of active participation and commitment from NSS volunteers," the official said. From instilling leadership qualities to fostering empathy and civic awareness, the polytechnic students of Tamil Nadu have continued to prove that service learning can go hand in hand with technical education: building not only skilled professionals but also compassionate citizens.
