Often called the “Linkedin for doctors,” Doximity is considered the premier online professional network for physicians. Doximity has created online CVs for each physician in the country, for which physicians just need to claim their profiles, verify/correct their credentials and add additional professional information. The entire process is free and takes about 15 minutes.
