Doximity Launches ExpertFinder to Match Clinical Need with Clinical Experts

Physician network signs major partners guaranteeing minimum honoraria of $250/hour for members who opt-in to research interviews

San Mateo, Calif. (December 19, 2011)—Doximity, the largest professional network for physicians, announced today it has partnered with several expert network firms to power their medical expert searches. These firms are the largest in the industry and collectively paid over $100 million in honoraria to physicians last year. Using Doximity’s new ExpertFinder service, they can instantly search detailed CVs of over 30,000 physician experts.

Paid physician surveys

Doctors are in a unique position to earn some supplemental income by filling out surveys. Consider this one form of non-clinical moonlighting. You sit in front of your computer and spend 15-45 minutes filling out surveys. Then, you close your computer and wait for the check in the mail. Some of these surveys pay several hundred dollars per survey. Most of these are market research surveys, but you may also see some that are focused on educational research. Some surveys give you Amazon gift credit instead of cash. Would you prefer cash or Amazon gift credit? Want to start earning some extra cash through paid surveys? An easy place to get started is Sermo (but this site is only for U.S. physicians).

Make Your Opinion Count for Something

We all have opinions. However, how do we voice them so that they are heard and documented? Clinicians often write letters to editors and publishers if they have a strong opinion about something. Most of us probably don't have the time to invest in things like that, so we may remain quiet and keep our thoughts to ourselves. What if you could get paid to express your opinions? Have you ever taken a paid survey where you get paid (no, not where you have to pay to take the survey, because that would defeat the purpose of the survey). For several years, I've had the opportunity to develop various educational surveys that are often linked with some type of an incentive. People want something for their time and I can respect that.

Well, did you know that there are many opportunities in the world of paid surveys? You can complete short, simple surveys and earn points. It's as simple as that. As you earn rewards points, you can them redeem them for various types of merchandise. If you're interested in joining or you want to learn more, click here. You may also want to tell a friend about these types of opportunities. Each time you refer a friend, you earn more points. It seems like many companies use this technique to motivate users to refer peers and colleagues within their network. Sermo does this, and several other sites do as well.
