OP's code, indented and made copy+pasteable:

int doctordetail;
cout << "\t*************** Doctor Details *****************\n\n\n";
cout << "1. Add New Doctor\n\n2. View Doctor Details.\n\n";
cin >> doctordetail;
system("cls");
switch (doctordetail) {
case 1:
  char name[50], field[50];
  int num, age;
  cin.sync();
  cout << "\nEnter The Doctor Name = ";
  cin.getline(name, 50);
  cout << "\nEnter the Doctors Field = ";
  cin.getline(field, 50);
  cout << "\nEnter Age = ";
  cin >> age;
  cout << "\nEnter Experience(in years) = ";
  cin >> num;
  cout << "\nName = " << name;
  cout << "\nAge = " << age;
  cout << "\nExperience = " << num;
  cout << "\nField = " << field;

  ofstream out("doctordetails.txt", ios::app | ios::binary);
  out.write((char *)(int *));
  out.close();
  cout << "Your Entry Has been saved ";
  break;
}

std::ofstreams can be used very similarly to std::cout. Just use operator << as you do with cout.

Unrelatedly, you might want to use std::string instead of char arrays to store your strings.

I do believe different names, but the same idea. http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/beginner/271218/
