I came across Doximity.com this morning and was amazed at the idea of it. A website that connects over 567,000 US physician colleagues in 87 specialties. This includes former or current medical school classmates and residents. Amazing isn't it? You get to find your colleagues there and keep yourselves updated. Just like Marc Feingold MD who shares experiences, details about himself at Doximity.com. What's nice about this website which is now usually called a social networking site is that they can exchange HIPAA-secure messages, send faxes, share private phone lists, back lines and pagers with physician colleagues you select and confirm. You can be assured that messages are secured and encrypted with 256-bit Advance Encryption Standard. Whatever that means, I'm definite that this site will take care of your personal information.
