Doximity’s newsfeed is a space for professional discussion and engagement. We encourage members to share questions, opinions, and insights while keeping conversations respectful and appropriate for a professional medical community.
Comment Visibility by Credential Type
Doximity comments are filtered by professional credential type. Members can only view and engage with comments from other members in the same credential group.
For example, MDs and DOs can view and respond to comments from other MDs and DOs. NPs can view and respond to comments from other NPs.
Comments posted by members in a different credential group will not appear in your comment thread.
