Social Media came and we embraced it. Used it and some can't even live on a daily basis without it. Social medicine is about to become the next big thing after social media, did you know that. As much as doctors want to take advantage of social apps like Facebook, LinkedIn, or Twitter, they arfe prevented from doing so because it doesn't provide the level of security required by HIPAA, as well as verify their users. That means that anyone can pretend to be a doctor and misuse the system. However, a new app from the creators of Epocrates has now become the social medicine platform for physicians and healthcare workers. Doximity is a free app which has features found in social networks, but with added layers of security and verification. Doximity features perhaps the best database of physician profiles in the world which look more like doctor CV’s that show the doctor’s publications, clinical trials, board certifications, and much more. Here’s an example of Jeffrey Brinker, MD’s Doximity profile.
