9. What type of information is appropriate to include in a voicemail delivered through the Direct-to-Voicemail feature?
The Direct-to-Voicemail feature is intended to facilitate the communication of healthcare-related information and not, for example, information about payments or other non-healthcare related matters. However, in the interest of safeguarding a patient's privacy, physicians and other healthcare professionals should limit the amount of information disclosed in a voicemail. It is up to the healthcare professional to determine in his/her professional judgment what information to include in a voicemail, keeping in mind that voicemails are not secure and may be accessed by individuals other than the patient for whom the information is intended.

View ArticleWe understand your concerns for privacy, our careers system works as follows:
We do not allow any potential employer to view your private information. Period.They do not know your phone number, email address, or other contact data. What they can do is search our system for accomplishments and credentials such as specialty, experience, geographic area, and clinical interests.
When they find someone who is the right fit for their open position, they can send a personal message via our system in hopes the recipient will reply and potentially work out an offer. An employer can only send a very limited number of messages, therefore they only message people who are the right fit for the position.
They cannot contact you directly and must use our system. Your contact information is NEVER disclosed unless you decide to reply and share it with them directly.

- Data from two surveys are in part used to create Residency Navigator.
The residency satisfaction survey, available to current residents and recent alumni who are verified Doximity members, asks about several characteristics about their residency program experience. Responses are anonymized. This survey currently remains open throughout the year. The residency nominations survey, is available to board-certified physicians who are verified Doximity members, permits up to 5 nominations of programs that provide the best clinical training in their specialty, which is then weighted to construct an analysis that is nationally representative of the opinions of board-certified U.S. physicians in that specialty. This survey will open in late spring/early summer. Disclaimer: The 2017-2018 version of Residency Navigator will launch late summer.
