6 Physician Gripes of 2016

Dec 22, 2016 · Doximity Insider


As the new year approaches, we took a look back at 2016 to pick out the top 6 headaches that physicians faced throughout the year - as well as potential ways to address them.

  1. “I need to call my patient, but I don’t want to give out my personal number by using my cell phone. And if I use * 67 to call my patient from a blocked number, they won’t pick up.”
    Our new, free app Doximity Dialer allows you to call patients from your cell phone, without using *67. They will see your office line in the Caller ID.

  2. “I’m graduating residency and I want the tools to start my career off right.”
    With Career Match, you can gain insight into salary trends, alumni networks and contract negotiations. You'll also receive offers to interview, and access to a talent advocate to guide you through the process. If that wasn't enough, you'll also receive a $3,000 bonus as a thank you when you land your dream job through us.

  3. “It’s impossible to filter through and keep up with medical news every day.”
    The Doximity newsfeed provides you with daily, curated medical news in one place, as well as weekly email digests tailored to your specialty. You can read it online, or for those clinicians on the go, you can also read it on your phone.

  4. “I want to make sure I’m being compensated fairly, especially in comparison to other physicians in my area.”
    Our Career Navigator tool gives Doximity members free access to salary data from tens of thousands of physicians, PAs, nurse practitioners, medical groups, hospitals and healthcare organizations worldwide.

  5. “My license renewal is coming up and I need CME credits but I don't have time for a conference”
    On Doximity, you can earn Category 1 CME at no cost - simply by reading CME-eligible articles for free.

  6. “I can’t believe it is the end of 2016 and I’m still regularly using a fax machine.”
    With Doximity’s free fax and digital signature on our mobile app, you can go digital even if the rest of healthcare is relying on 1980’s technology.

We look forward to seeing what new features and apps we can create for clinicians to help meet their needs in 2017. Have a great end to your 2016, and we will see you in the new year!
