Private Physician Network

Doximity.com is a private social network for physicians in the United States. Having such a network enables physicians to connect with each other, exchange notes and information and to reconnect with old contacts. Members of the website are required to undergo a three-step credential check which means that all members are who they claim to be.

The powerful search engine used to Doximity allows members to search for a physician by name, for example, ajit sawhney MD. The search could be narrowed down if more information is included, like geographical location, languages spoken, and medical discipline.

The availability of a closed network like this could reduce the chances of mistakes made my physicians especially on patients that have been consulting different physicians over a period of time.
