Doctors have a very rewarding healthcare career. They work around the clock dealing with patients suffering from all sorts of medical issues. To be successful, they need to be highly trained and seriously focused. For that doctors are typically paid very well.
This week we ran across an interesting post on Business Insider that highlights how much different doctor specialities make. The post specifically looks at a new website for doctors called Doximity. It’s basically like a “LinkedIn for doctors.”
