Doximity Takes on Physician Shortage With Launch of Talent Finder
Largest Physician Network Matches Members With Personalized
Career Opportunities
SAN MATEO, CA--(Marketwired - Dec 12, 2013) - Doximity, the
largest and fastest-growing secure network for physicians with over
220,000 members, today announced the launch of Talent Finder, a
service to connect doctors with new careers and consulting
opportunities.
Expansions in coverage due to the Affordable Care Act and an
aging population are accelerating demand for medical talent
throughout the United States. The medical industry, however, still
relies largely on classified ads, career fairs, letter blasts, and
job boards. The result is that physicians have a hard time sorting
through the noise to pinpoint opportunities with a mutual fit.
With Doximity Talent Finder, member physicians can share their
curriculum vitae including certifications, research, awards and
specialized clinical interests. Physicians can also specify
geographic work preferences along with expectations for salary and
call duty. Doximity members are among the most accomplished
practitioners in medicine, with more than 1 million peer-reviewed
publications and over 60 percent having trained at a top quintile
medical school or residency program.
To date, more than 200 top hospitals and health systems have
beta-tested the service, including Cedars-Sinai, Ohio State
University, Kaiser Permanente, One Medical Group, Allina Health and
Banner Health. Both employers and physicians alike have found it
more efficient than traditional methods.
Dr. Moshe Usadi, a family medicine physician from Charlotte, was
interested in moonlighting work, but too busy to scour the job
boards each week. But after a colleague invited him to join
Doximity, "I learned of an opportunity in my hometown -- just what
I was looking for," says Dr. Usadi. "I was impressed because the
recruiter had clearly read my profile and noted my interests. For
the first time, a recruiting service provided a match that made
sense for me. I'm not sure how I would have found this had it not
been for Doximity."
As a secure relationship-based network, most of Doximity's
day-to-day use revolves around patient care and referrals. But
these connections have proved useful for career networking as well.
The "Forward to a Colleague" feature has proven especially popular,
allowing physicians to discover opportunities through referrals
from the colleagues that know them best.
"We're facing a physician shortage in this country, so doctors
are highly sought after and more mobile than ever," said Jeff
Tangney, CEO and founder of Doximity. "Doximity helps match the
right physician with the right position based on their unique skill
set, allowing doctors to be 'free agents' in a way never before
possible."
