Summary
Doximity, a medical website used by more than 80% of U.S. doctors, has introduced a free service called DocDefender. This service removes physicians' personal contact information from the internet to protect them from harassment and violence. The tool scans common websites where doctors' information might be found and initiates the removal process. The company aims to give doctors peace of mind so they can focus on providing better care. The service will be available to all doctors on Doximity starting Wednesday and will expand to nurse practitioners and others over time.
