About Doximity, Inc.
Source: Item 1 (Business) from the 10-K filed May 19, 2026. Description as filed by the company with the SEC.
Item 1. Business
Overview
We are the leading physician-first tech company, with over 3 million registered members1 as of March 31, 2026. Our registered members represent more than 85% of U.S. physicians, spanning all 50 states and every medical specialty, along with two-thirds of U.S. nurse practitioners and physician assistants, and approximately 90% of graduating U.S. medical students. We calculate U.S. physicians as all U.S. physicians (MDs/DOs) who are under the age of 76, not retired, hold an active medical license, and have a physician status on the National Provider Identifier (NPI) registry. As of March 31, 2026, the total number of U.S. physicians was approximately 1 million. To be included in our calculation of registered members as a percentage of U.S. physicians, we include those U.S. physicians who meet the above criteria and have registered on Doximity by claiming their pre-populated profile or creating a new profile.
Our mission is to help every physician be more productive and provide better care for their patients. We are physician-first, putting technology to work for doctors instead of the other way around. That guiding principle has enabled Doximity to become an essential and trusted professional platform for physicians and their colleagues. We provide our members with AI-powered tools specifically built for medicine, enabling them to collaborate with colleagues, stay up to date with the latest medical news and research, manage their careers and on-call schedules, and conduct virtual patient visits. Our Clinical AI Suite supports the full day-to-day workflow of a physician, from patient communication to documentation to answering clinical questions.

At the core of our platform is the largest medical professional network in the nation, which creates proximity within our community of doctors and other medical professionals. Our focus on physician-centric product design and clinical productivity has led to high levels of adoption and endorsement by these healthcare professionals.
Our business model is designed to both respect and support our members while driving value for our customers through our Marketing, Hiring, and Workflow Solutions (as defined below). Our revenue-generating customers, primarily pharmaceutical manufacturers and health systems, have access to a suite of commercial solutions that benefit from broad usage by physicians and other medical professionals.
Our “Marketing Solutions” enable our pharmaceutical and health system customers to get the right content, services, and peer connections to the right medical professionals through a variety of modules. Our Marketing Solutions deliver high engagement, ROI, and help customers reach their brand goals. We count the top pharmaceutical manufacturers, hospitals, and health systems as our customers.
Our “Hiring Solutions” provide digital recruiting capabilities to health systems and medical recruiting firms, enabling them to identify, connect with, and hire from our network of both active and passive medical professional candidates, who might otherwise be missed through traditional recruiting channels. Hiring Solutions also includes Curative Talent, our personalized staffing firm that combines Doximity’s data science and intelligence with an experienced team of health care recruiters.
Our “Workflow Solutions,” which include our telehealth, on-call scheduling, digital fax and AI tools, are designed to streamline clinical workflow, reduce administrative burden, connect clinicians with patients and colleagues, and provide fast, evidence-based answers to clinical questions, including drug information.
The ecosystem we have created in the medical community benefits from powerful network effects. Medical professional engagement with our platform increases as the breadth and utility of our tools expand, attracting even more members and driving broader and more effective communication and collaboration among healthcare professionals. This also drives greater value for our pharmaceutical and health system customers seeking to interact with specific groups of physicians and other medical professionals. In turn, the insights that we gain from increased use of our platform enable us to invest in improving our tools and solutions to meet the changing needs of our members, customers, and the patients that they care for, ultimately creating a win-win-win for all constituents in our ecosystem.
Our member interactions have enabled us to build a vast, interactive data set, intelligently combining proprietary information and previously siloed public information. When combined with our customized algorithms and our team of analysts, engineers, and clinical experts, we believe we have unique, unparalleled insight into the specific needs of U.S. medical professionals that would be highly challenging and time-consuming for any competitor to replicate.
1 A registered member is a user who has completed the registration flow on Doximity by either claiming a pre-populated profile or creating a new profile.

Our Tools for Medical Professionals
The Doximity platform is free to join and use for U.S. medical professionals. Becoming a member of Doximity is as simple as navigating to our homepage or downloading our mobile app, and completing our simple identity and credential verification process. Our platform provides most medical professionals with a pre-populated Doximity professional profile, reflecting publicly and commercially available third-party data, which members can further supplement, update, and refine.
Once verified, members gain access to our network, newsfeed, and—depending on their credentials—our Clinical AI Suite, including Dialer, our voice and video telehealth product; Scribe, our ambient AI that listens during patient visits and generates structured notes; and Ask (formerly DoxGPT), which provides evidence-based answers to clinical questions, including drug information.
Professional Network
•Profile. Members have a personalized and validated professional profile on the Doximity network that acts as a digital curriculum vitae. Profile information includes education and training, hospital affiliations, practice contact information, certifications and licenses, specialization and clinical expertise, links to published research reports and press mentions, clinical trial participation, and any awards conferred. Our technology automatically searches for and updates profiles with new relevant information such as additional press mentions and awards. Members may also choose to share personal contact information (such as email or cell phone number) with other medical professionals on our platform.
•Connectivity with colleagues. Our network makes it easy for professionals to connect and stay in touch with the broader medical community. We regularly suggest new colleague connections to members, such as co-residents, co-fellows, co-authors, colleagues from the same hospital or practice, and medical school classmates, enabling referrals, and sharing of medical knowledge and career opportunities.
•Search. Members can use our powerful search technology to find other medical professionals by name, specialty, expertise, affiliation, or location. For example, a physician may have a patient with a chronic condition that requires specialist care at another health system or in another state. The physician can use our search tool to find the right expert for the specific chronic condition at the closest health system, and potentially leverage mutual connections for a warm introduction.
•Careers. Our platform provides numerous tools that empower physicians to manage their careers effectively from training through retirement.
◦For practicing medical professionals. Members can browse permanent and locum tenens opportunities, set up job alerts to stay abreast of career opportunities matching their interests, and directly connect with our Hiring Solutions customers. Members also have access to detailed job market data, such as our Salary Map, which provides an unparalleled county-level look at compensation trends across specialties and geographies.
◦For students and residents. Members beginning their medical careers can discover and compare training programs across the country using Residency Navigator, a tool that provides a transparent look into U.S. medical residency programs. Powered by peer nominations, ratings, and firsthand reviews, Residency Navigator gives medical students the information they need to navigate their future in medicine and to help choose the right program for their career goals. We do not accept fees or payments from hospitals or medical residency programs to impact their ranking or visibility on Residency Navigator. Residency Navigator serves as a relationship funnel for new members at the beginning of their medical careers. Approximately 90% of graduating U.S. medical students join Doximity to use tools including Residency Navigator before earning their medical degree.
Newsfeed
Our platform includes a personalized newsfeed that presents clinical and professional content to members. We leverage artificial intelligence, or AI, including machine learning, or ML, to create a personalized and curated newsfeed for each of our members. Our platform provides access to content, free of charge for all of our members, from a variety of internal and third-party sources, including content created in-house and content linked to third-party sites (some of which may require a separate subscription).
•Medical articles. Our platform uses both algorithms and clinical editors to select content from a variety of sources based on a member’s profile and reading interests. Information used to select articles includes each member’s specialties, qualifications, connections, and content preferences, along with what is popular across our network at that

time. We are able to aggregate connections to relevant content from a variety of different sources, such as medical journals and specialist websites that a member might otherwise have to search for separately.
•Medical videos. Information about recent clinical trials or research results is distributed in an easy-to-consume video format, optimized for desktop or mobile viewing. Videos are designed to be brief, relevant, and eye-catching to disseminate knowledge without wasting a member’s time or disrupting their clinical workflow.
•Peer and colleague updates. Doximity members can stay abreast of and celebrate the professional updates and accomplishments of their peers and colleagues, from new jobs to awards, newly authored publications, and press mentions.
•Clinical discussions. Members can comment on and react to posts directly in their newsfeeds. For example, members might discuss the results of a new clinical study, or even ask questions of the study’s author. Ultimately, this dialogue and interactivity drive engagement within the ecosystem and facilitate peer-to-peer education.
•Op-Med. Members can submit Op-Med articles for publication on Doximity. These articles are long-form content written by clinicians for clinicians, covering topics such as front-line experiences and practice-changing viewpoints. They provide the opportunity for our members to express their expertise and further elevate and engage the profession.
•Sponsored content. Certain articles, videos, and other types of content are identified as sponsored content and are designed to be highly relevant to our members. Sponsored content is created in concert with our customers, including pharmaceutical manufacturers and health systems, and may include information about medications, clinical trials, guidelines and resources, and trends in medicine and patient care. Sponsored content is developed in collaboration with our customer success team to ensure they meet the high-quality standards of our community.
Workflow Tools
Members of our platform access a suite of AI-powered communication and workflow tools designed to streamline daily workflows and expedite access to peer-reviewed evidence. These tools are integrated into a single application and website.
•Ask. Our members use Ask (formerly DoxGPT), our HIPAA-compliant AI assistant, to access and apply evidence-based medical information within their clinical workflows. Clinicians can ask clinical questions, summarize complex medical information, and generate clinical and administrative content. Ask includes an integrated, peer-reviewed drug reference covering over 3,200 drug monographs, with information on dosing, interactions, and adverse effects. It also provides access to full-text content from more than 2,000 medical journals, enabling members to move from question to summary to source all within a single workflow. Ask incorporates PeerCheck™, a physician-led verification layer designed to review and validate AI-generated responses. PeerCheck provides attribution, expert review, and additional clinical context where applicable, enabling clinicians to assess the reliability and completeness of responses. Ask also supports administrative workflows by assisting with drafting tasks such as prior authorizations, patient education materials, letters of medical necessity, and other clinical documentation. The tool integrates with our HIPAA-compliant fax and text messaging services to support secure transmission of documents. Ask is available to verified members and as an enterprise solution for hospitals and health systems.
•Scribe. Scribe is a HIPAA-compliant, AI-powered clinical documentation tool that generates structured, EHR-ready notes during patient encounters. It captures relevant clinical details in real time while filtering non-essential conversation, helping improve documentation efficiency and reduce administrative burden. Integrated with our telehealth tools (voice and video), Scribe enables clinicians to document care within their existing workflows.
•Telehealth. Our members connect with patients using our Dialer telehealth products, available directly or through Dialer Enterprise for hospitals and health systems. Calls may be voice or video-based and include features such as customizable caller ID, the ability to add interpreters or additional participants, and seamless call handoffs across care teams. Dialer also supports HIPAA-compliant patient messaging, including one-way texting, optional timed patient replies, scheduled messages, and group communication.
•Secure Messaging. Doximity’s HIPAA-compliant messaging functionality enables members to securely collaborate on patient consultations and coordinate care across multiple providers, systems, and locations.
•Fax and eSignature. The Doximity platform allows members to send and receive faxes in a HIPAA-compliant manner through our mobile app or website. Members can electronically create, sign, edit, and transmit documents, eliminating manual workflows. AI-enabled features allow users to query and summarize faxed documents, further streamlining existing workflows with additional automation.

•Prescribe. Doximity’s prescribing tool allows clinicians to send prescriptions directly to patients without leaving the platform. After writing a prescription, the patient receives a secure text to choose their preferred pharmacy with price transparency. Integrated with our telehealth tools, prescribing enables an end-to-end workflow from visit to fulfillment.
Our Solutions for Healthcare Customers
We offer Marketing, Hiring, and Workflow Solutions to pharmaceutical manufacturers, health systems, medical recruiting firms, and certain other healthcare companies on a predominantly subscription basis. Our solutions benefit both our customers and our members, containing useful and relevant information for each member's specific area of medicine and patients’ needs, while being respectful of their time.
Marketing Solutions
We provide a digital marketing platform for pharmaceutical manufacturers and health systems on a subscription basis to serve our members with tailored sponsored content that is highly relevant to their clinical practices, including information about medications, clinical trials, guidelines and resources, and trends in medicine and patient care. Pharmaceutical manufacturers purchase programs on a brand-by-brand basis, and health systems execute programs on a service line-by-service line basis. Service lines in health systems refer to patient-centric clinical specialties, such as cardiology, oncology, neurology, and otolaryngology, among others.
Our customers are able to specify a combination of audience attributes, such as specialty, credential, and location, and also choose modules. Modules are the core building blocks of the marketing plan and are additive to one another. We package them into sponsored programs to meet the needs of individual brands and service lines. Our sponsored modules can be categorized as Newsfeed, Workflow, and Peer, as follows:
•Newsfeed. Sponsored modules, such as videos and articles, that appear within our Newsfeed to generate awareness and build name recognition. The content of these modules may include updates on how certain drugs perform in clinical trials, formulary information, the opening of new hospitals or departments within a health system, or other information that is relevant to our members.
•Workflow. Sponsored modules, such as videos and articles, embedded within our workflow tools to engage physicians at key moments in their daily clinical practice. These placements create proximity to the point of care, fostering greater interactivity and relevance while enhancing brand awareness and recognition.
•Peer. Sponsored modules that appear directly within our members’ messages, facilitating connections with thought leaders, department chairs, and experts across the Doximity network. These placements help foster professional relationships while enhancing visibility and engagement.
We continuously seek to develop new modules in response to customer feedback and market trends and to address specific needs of our customers. We take a rigorous approach to launching new modules, including internal and customer pilots.
Our goal is to make sponsored content useful, relevant, and informative for our members. Our newer integrated programs allow our clients to leverage the power of AI and data science to create a dynamic and personalized experience for each member based on their unique needs, diagnosis data, and clinical interests. In addition, our customer success team ensures that our customers receive tangible, measurable, and repeatable benefits from their marketing spend, while maintaining the high-quality standards of our medical community. The team works directly with our customers to deeply understand a customer’s goals, priorities, and messaging before helping with content and media formats. Through ongoing support and reporting, our team can also develop new content or fine-tune and reformat existing content for digital and feed-friendly marketing programs. We also have a client-facing portal that allows certain customers and their agencies on-demand access to key program data, insights, and recommendations.
We have become a valued collaborator to our customers, with a track record of expanding throughout the medication portfolios of pharmaceutical customers and into additional service lines throughout a health system, while also upselling additional modules.
Hiring Solutions
We offer our Hiring Solutions to health systems, medical recruiting firms, and other organizations that pay for subscriptions that provide them the ability to search and connect with medical professionals on Doximity. Our AI and ML-supported platform enables customers to run highly targeted hiring campaigns across a range of medical specialties and subspecialties, uncovering both active and passive eligible candidates with proactive outreach for any locum tenens or permanent position.
6
Table of Contents
Our modules for Hiring Solutions consist of the following:
•Job posts. Individual job listings on our platform are posted either directly by health systems or by recruiting firms. Our members can search and browse these open job listings.
•Direct message. Recruiters, physicians, and administrators can directly message members who might be a good fit for an open position. These messages may or may not be for an opening that has been posted on our job posts.
Both job posts and direct messages are sold as a subscription that entitles the customer to a certain number of job listings or messages on a self-serve basis throughout the subscription period.
We also have a tech-enabled, higher-touch Hiring Solution called Curative Talent, which combines Doximity’s data science and intelligence with Curative Talent’s white-glove service and customer-focused recruiters. Our account managers at Curative Talent work with health systems to source both locum tenens and permanent staffing positions, leveraging our platform and providing a higher level of support on an ongoing basis than our self-service Hiring Solutions. Health systems contract staffing placements directly with Curative Talent on an hourly-fee or a placement-fee basis.
Workflow Solutions for Health Systems
We offer a range of workflow solutions to health systems and hospitals, spanning communication, documentation, and scheduling that support clinicians in their day-to-day work.
Core Enterprise Products
•Telehealth. Dialer Enterprise provides health systems and hospitals an accessible and powerful telehealth solution. The organic adoption of our direct-to-member offerings, such as Dialer Pro, is an important factor driving our Enterprise offerings. Many users have already adopted Dialer into their regular workflow and this familiarity significantly streamlines implementation when health systems are deploying Dialer Enterprise, while competitor solutions often require a full physician training. Dialer Enterprise enables unlimited access to Dialer for all users across a health system’s organization, with an added service layer for the organization that includes a dedicated customer success manager, premium user support, and monthly utilization reporting. Health system customers also have the opportunity to brand the user and patient experience, as well as leverage their own security and HIPAA contractual requirements to create consistent protocols for use. Our health system team can also integrate Dialer into our customer's electronic medical record system so that their users can access Dialer directly within their existing clinical workflows.
•Scheduling. Our on-call scheduling tool, AMiON, helps centralize clinical on-call schedules across medical teams and departments. By helping clinicians quickly answer the question “am I on,” AMiON helps eliminate confusion and streamline communication regarding scheduling. This centralization helps enable more efficient provider-to-provider collaboration and more timely access to on-call specialists, who can be contacted via integration with their Doximity profile.
•Scribe. Scribe is Doximity's ambient AI documentation tool, designed to reduce the administrative burden of clinical note-taking for physicians. The product listens during patient visits, both in-person and via telehealth, and automatically generates a structured clinical note upon visit completion. Scribe supports a range of note templates including progress notes, consultations, and procedure notes, and integrates directly with Dialer, Doximity's voice and video communication product, enabling documentation to occur within a single workflow. The product offers flexible input options, including real-time ambient listening during visits, quick dictation, and pre-charting from mobile or desktop. Scribe is HIPAA-compliant and does not retain audio recordings, with privacy embedded in the product's core architecture.
•Ask. Ask is Doximity's clinical AI assistant, formerly known as DoxGPT, designed to streamline administrative tasks and provide fast, evidence-backed answers to clinical questions. Ask offers a fully integrated drug reference covering over 3,200 monographs with dosing, side effects, and interaction data, as well as free PDF access to the wide range of top-tier and specialty-specific medical journals, enabling clinicians to move from question to summary to source in a single click. Ask supports a range of clinical workflow tasks including documentation, appeal letters, and patient education materials. The product is HIPAA-compliant for all users, with data encrypted in transit and at rest.

Clinical AI Suite for Hospitals and Health Systems
Doximity’s Clinical AI Suite brings together Ask, Scribe, and Dialer into a unified, AI-powered workflow that supports clinical communication, documentation, and fast, evidence-backed answers to clinical questions. More than 140 leading U.S. health systems have reviewed, approved through privacy and AI governance committees, and adopted the Clinical AI Suite, underscoring the enterprise-grade trust and compliance it delivers. Used together, the products create a seamless experience: a clinician can conduct a patient call via Dialer, have Scribe automatically generate the clinical note, and use Ask to answer clinical questions or draft follow-up materials, all without leaving Doximity.
Our Strengths
Our business exhibits a number of key strengths which we believe position us to drive sustained growth.
•We are the trusted physician-first platform. Since our founding, Doximity has been built to be physician-first, with trust at the core of what we do. We verify the identities and credentials of our medical professionals through integration with third-party databases. In addition, our communications solutions are HIPAA-compliant, providing medical professionals with a critical platform for protected communications.
•We have the largest digital network of medical professionals. Our members have the broadest available range of professional connections and networking opportunities through our platform, and we believe we have become the primary physician-to-physician connectivity medium. The scale and strength of our network have made us a strategic collaborator of choice for pharmaceutical manufacturers and health systems. We enable these organizations to engage with a valuable and otherwise difficult-to-reach audience, covering an increasing number of specialized medical professionals and enabling targeted outreach.
•We benefit from powerful network effects. Both the medical professionals and customers that use our platform benefit immensely from access to our large and dynamic ecosystem, and we fuel the expansion of this network of medical professionals, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and health systems by adding new tools and solutions to our platform. As we expand our capabilities, Doximity becomes more attractive to new and existing members and customers, ultimately generating more data and insights that allow us to develop better tools and solutions, and build greater scale.
•We are deeply embedded in workflows for physicians and other medical professionals. Our tools and third-party integrations are designed to solve workflow pain points for physicians and other medical professionals. Our tools provide medical professionals with the ability to deliver best-in-class healthcare, spend more time with patients, and ultimately improve patient care.
•We innately understand clinical workflows are different from traditional technology workflows. Through having product leaders who are physicians, designers, and engineers familiar with healthcare services, and an extended team of medical professionals in our advisory committees, we are able to build solutions that enable our members to better care for their patients and act as an extension of their practice.
•We are strategic to our customers. We provide a unique digital channel to connect our customers with the most valuable professionals in healthcare. Marketing Solutions customers, such as pharmaceutical manufacturers and health systems, gain access to a solution with a proven return on investment. Hiring Solutions customers, including health systems and medical recruiting firms, gain access to a comprehensive nationwide network and database of specialty and subspecialty professionals. We align our goals with our customers and help them make the necessary leap to digital.
Our Growth Strategies
•Grow the Doximity Network. While we will continue to grow our number of physician members, we are under-penetrated among other types of medical professionals, such as nurse practitioners and physician assistants, and have an opportunity to expand our offering to physical therapists, dentists, psychologists, and many other professions. As more medical professionals join our platform, we become a more valuable connectivity tool for members, and a more valuable marketing and hiring channel for pharmaceutical manufacturers and health systems.
•Continuously improve and innovate on our platform. Improving our existing capabilities, and innovating to add new tools and solutions, will make our platform more valuable to members, helping to attract new members and customers, while increasing the engagement of existing ones.

Table of Contents
•Expand within existing customers of our solutions. Our existing customers represent a significant opportunity to grow our platform. Many of our large pharmaceutical customers initially run marketing programs for a certain number of brands, but have a track record of increasing their spend with us both by adding modules and expanding across more of their portfolio of brands once they have seen the quantifiable benefits of our Marketing Solutions. Health systems have a similar track record of expanding their usage of our platform across different service lines.
•Attract new customers. We have an opportunity to engage additional pharmaceutical manufacturers and health systems and potential customers in other industries as we raise awareness of our offerings through our sales and marketing efforts and as we expand our offerings.
•Further monetize our Workflow Solutions. Our clinical workflow tools are used and trusted by hundreds of thousands of our members, and continue to drive daily use among physicians. The strong adoption of our Clinical AI Suite, at both the physician and enterprise level, reflects that professional trust, and we continue to look for opportunities to build upon these offerings. With the continued growth of our Clinical AI Suite, we are expanding our portfolio of enterprise clients, and there is still ample whitespace ahead of us.
•Grow our patient-facing tools. Patients can search for the right doctor or hospital for their needs through our collaboration with the Doctor Finder tool of U.S. News & World Report, which publicly displays summary physician profiles and hospital rankings powered by an integration with our Doximity network. We also collaborate with U.S. News & World Report to offer a direct-to-patient scheduling tool for health systems. We see opportunities to expand our offerings to patients in the future. Consumers on the platform would also create a significant value opportunity for our customers.
•Consider strategic acquisitions to expand our platform capabilities. In the past, we have selectively used mergers and acquisitions to accelerate our product roadmap, offer medical professionals and customers more complete solutions, and increase demand for our products. This includes our acquisitions of Curative Talent, AMiON, and Pathway Medical Inc. We plan to continue evaluating similar opportunities and execute on them if we find the right fit for our members, customers, and our company.
Our Technology Platform
Our technology platform supports a vast network of member connections, with regularly updated profiles, secure communication and workflow tools, and vast amounts of searchable indexed data. Together, we believe our suite of tools form a valuable competitive strength.
Platform Advantages
•Extensive and dynamic database of U.S. physician information: Since the launch of our business, members have interacted with each other and our technology platform hundreds of millions of times. This has enabled us to build a vast, interactive data set intelligently combining proprietary information and previously-siloed public information. Along with user-entered input, our proprietary algorithms constantly identify new information for our members from hundreds of third-party sources that are isolated and siloed in the healthcare space. The up-to-date and scaled nature of our database is critical to the value proposition for both our members and our pharmaceutical manufacturer and health system customers.
•Statistical and machine learning methodologies: We utilize proprietary statistical and machine learning methodologies across our platform for a number of use cases to benefit our members. Some of the major components include:
•Aggregating and coupling disjointed datasets from numerous medical sources into a live database of physician information to perform descriptive, diagnostic, and prescriptive analysis.
•Medical news tailored to a member’s specific specialty, clinical areas of interest, and viewing history, ensuring that each member’s news feed is personalized to them and that the digital marketing content of our pharmaceutical and health system customers will be served to members that are more likely to find it relevant and interesting based on their profile and viewing history.
•Automatically matching top candidates with openings offered by recruiters and administrators based on job history, interests, and geography.

Table of Contents
•Upleveling our customers’ marketing programs with AI-powered brainstorming and writing tools that allow them to generate more relevant and personalized content to better engage individual medical professionals.
•Extensive, interactive database of U.S. medical residency and employment data: We collect and maintain a vast repository of residency and employment data from our members, which includes member reviews on their experience at hospitals and residency programs, detailed statistics on user experiences regarding program setting and training environment, and a salary map across different specialties and geographies across the country. We make this data available to all of our members in easily accessible portals, which are automatically updated as our members provide additional data on the platform.
•Proprietary workflow tools: Our workflow tools have been built to be physician-first with usability in mind at every step. Built on top of a modern software stack that ensures rapid scalability and enterprise-grade reliability, our tools allow medical professionals to manage their schedules, streamline documentation and administrative paperwork, connect with patients via messages, voice, and video, and leverage our AI-powered, physician-verified clinical reference and administrative tool. We have designed each of these services with a broad range of customized, physician-first features specific to our platform, such as our ‘call nudge’ reminding a patient of a visit, ‘straight to voicemail’ enabling physicians to choose not to disturb patients after-hours, and the flexibility to switch between voice and video at will, among others.
•Design Principles: Our technology stack and product development teams are set up to enable rapid prototyping and development of new features via controlled rollouts. We focus on innovative, useful and unobtrusive features that are designed to optimize the healthcare professional’s workflow. And at all times, we follow the stringent security and privacy requirements of a physician’s data; many of our workflow tools are HIPAA-compliant (as described above) and validated through external auditing procedures.
Sales and Marketing
We employ a direct sales organization composed of highly trained team members. The sales organization is segmented primarily by customer type. For example, there is one enterprise-focused team concentrating on pharmaceutical manufacturers and another concentrating on health systems. Our direct sales organization also reaches customers through indirect channels, such as third-party marketing agencies utilized by our pharmaceutical and health system customers.
The direct sales organization is supported by marketing and customer success specialists. We generate customer leads, accelerate sales opportunities, and build brand awareness through our marketing programs, both digitally and offline. These programs target decision-makers to provide information about our company and solutions through digital advertising, field marketing events, integrated marketing programs (including direct email and online advertising), industry events, trade shows, and conferences. Our customer success team supports customer retention by working directly with customers to produce higher engagement with our solutions, which in turn, expands their use of the platform in the future.
Competition
Although we have built a scaled and highly differentiated platform, we face competition across different aspects of our business. We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, intense competition from a number of companies, and we expect such competition to increase as our industry evolves. Specifically, we compete for medical professionals as platform members, and for pharmaceutical and health system companies as customers for our Marketing, Hiring, and Workflow Solutions.
•Competing for members: We compete with large technology companies that have developed online networking and collaboration tools such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Google, and X, in addition to smaller, emerging companies. However, we believe we are the only professional network solely dedicated to medical professionals, with a purpose-built platform specifically designed to address a broad range of unique needs of today’s healthcare professionals.
•Competing for customers: We compete across several categories to access spend in the healthcare category. We specifically compete for access to marketing, hiring, and health system IT budgets. We believe that our platform and the network of medical professionals on Doximity allow us to provide our customers with solutions that result in attractive returns on their marketing and hiring budgets.
◦Marketing: We compete with online and offline outlets that provide marketing and advertising services that enable pharmaceutical manufacturers and health systems to educate medical professionals about their brands. These outlets include established health-related websites and mobile apps, like WebMD’s Medscape, as well as newer companies like OpenEvidence.
10
Table of Contents
◦Hiring: We compete in the healthcare staffing industry with job boards, self-service recruiting tools, and medical recruiting firms in national, regional, and local markets. We compete with large healthcare staffing companies as well as smaller, more regionally focused companies.
◦Health System IT Budgets: We compete with providers of various solutions that aim to improve the productivity of the information technology services inside of health systems. This includes providers of communication solutions, such as Zoom Video Communications and Microsoft Teams, and dedicated telehealth services, such as Teladoc Health and American Well. We also compete with providers of scheduling solutions such as QGenda and a number of emerging AI solutions focusing on healthcare, including Abridge, OpenAI, and Anthropic.
The industries in which our products are offered are evolving rapidly and are becoming increasingly competitive. Larger and more established companies may focus on our market and could directly compete with us. Smaller companies, including application developers, could also launch new products and services that compete with us and that could gain market acceptance quickly. We also expect our existing competitors in the markets for Marketing, Hiring, and Workflow Solutions to continue to focus on these areas. Many of our competitors and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, technological, and other resources than we do and greater name recognition and more established distribution networks and relationships with healthcare providers than us. As a result, many of these companies may respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and standards and changes in customer requirements. These companies may be able to invest more resources in research and development, strategic acquisitions, sales and marketing, patent prosecution, litigation, and financing capital equipment acquisitions for their customers.
Our competitors may announce new products, services, or enhancements that better address changing industry standards or the needs of members and customers, such as mobile access. Any such increased competition could cause pricing pressure, loss of market share or decreased member engagement, any of which could adversely affect our business and operating results. Internet search engines could also change their methodologies in ways that adversely affect our ability to optimize our page rankings within their search results. If this occurs, our ability to successfully market our services to customers may be harmed and our business results may suffer.
Our People, Culture, and Human Capital Resources
At Doximity, we organize our teams into small, nimble groups that operate autonomously, are empowered to make decisions quickly, and aim to stay close to our members and customers. We prioritize diversity and inclusion, and regularly track our progress against quantifiable metrics. We have always been a geographically distributed team. We supplement our workforce with contractors and consultants in the United States and internationally.
Our human capital resources objectives include, as applicable, identifying, recruiting, retaining, incentivizing, and integrating our existing and new employees. The principal purposes of our equity incentive plans are to attract, retain, and motivate selected employees, consultants, and directors through the granting of stock-based compensation awards and cash-based performance bonus awards. To our knowledge, none of our employees is represented by a labor union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We have not experienced any work stoppages, and we consider our relations with our employees to be good.
As of March 31, 2026, we had a total of 880 full-time equivalent employees. More than a third of our full-time equivalent employees work in R&D, including in product, engineering, and data.
Data Protection, Security, and Regulatory Compliance
The data we collect and process is an integral part of our tools and solutions, allowing us to ensure our members are verified, the experience we provide is engaging and personalized, and the content we present is the most relevant. In addition, our business is subject to extensive, complex, and rapidly changing federal and state laws and regulations governing data processing, healthcare regulation, financial services laws, regulations and rules, such as HIPAA, and related matters. Our respect for laws and regulations regarding the processing of personal data underlies our strategy to improve our member experience and build trust in our network and platform. While we believe we comply in all material respects with applicable laws and regulations, these regulations can vary significantly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and interpretation and enforcement of existing laws and regulations may change periodically. Federal and state legislatures also may enact various legislative proposals that could materially impact certain aspects of our business. For additional information, see Item 1C of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—We are subject to stringent and changing laws, regulations, self-regulatory schemes, contractual obligations, and standards related to privacy, data protection, and information security. The actual or perceived failure by us, our customers, partners, or vendors to comply with such obligations could harm our reputation, subject us to significant fines and liability, or otherwise adversely affect our business.”

Data Collection and Protection
We collect and may use personal information to help run our business (including for analytical purposes) and to communicate and otherwise reach our network members. In some instances, we may use third-party service providers to assist us in these efforts.
We endeavor to treat our members’ personal information with respect and maintain member trust. We provide our members with options designed to allow them to control their information, such as allowing our members to decide which profile contact information is viewable publicly and which is accessible to new connections. Members can also request deletion of their personal information or to opt out of selling or sharing their personal information under applicable privacy laws and procedures. Our privacy and security teams are devoted to processing and fulfilling member requests regarding access to and deletion of their personal information.
Physician information that is posted to profiles is protected with anti-scraping technologies such as a Web Application Firewall, Runtime Application Self-Protection, Bot Protection, Rate-Limiting, and our network employs DDoS mitigation technology to protect against attacks. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest using TLS 1.2, and personal health information is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption. Along with a dedicated in-house security team and contracted security researchers, we maintain a comprehensive bug bounty program for proactive vulnerability inspection of our entire offering.
U.S. state and federal health information privacy and security laws
There are numerous U.S. federal and state laws and regulations related to the privacy and security of personally identifiable information, including health information. In particular, HIPAA established privacy and security standards that limit the use and disclosure of protected health information, referred to as PHI, and require the implementation of administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of individually identifiable health information in electronic form. Our members as well as many of our Dialer Enterprise customers are regulated as covered entities under HIPAA. As a service provider who creates, receives, maintains, or transmits PHI on behalf of these covered entities for certain of our services, Doximity is a “business associate” as defined under HIPAA.
Violations of HIPAA may result in civil and criminal penalties and a single breach incident can result in violations of multiple standards. In the event of a breach, we must also comply with HIPAA’s breach notification rule and our covered entity enterprise customers may require we provide assistance in the breach notification process and may seek indemnification and other contractual remedies. State attorneys general also have the right to prosecute HIPAA violations committed against residents of their states, and individuals have used HIPAA standards as the basis for the duty of care in state civil suits, such as those for negligence or recklessness in misusing personal information. In addition, HIPAA mandates that HHS conduct periodic compliance audits of HIPAA-covered entities and their business associates for compliance.
Further, many states in which we operate and in which our members and customers as well as their patients reside also have laws that protect the privacy and security of sensitive and personal information, including health information, information regarding mental health and substance use treatment, and other information related to the provision of healthcare services. Some of these laws also prohibit unfair privacy and security practices and deceptive statements about privacy and security and place specific requirements on certain types of activities, such as data security and texting. These laws may be similar to or even more protective than HIPAA and other federal privacy laws. For example, the laws of the State of California, in which we operate, are more restrictive than HIPAA, including the provisions of the California Consumer Privacy Act and the California Privacy Act. While any information we process in our role as a business associate may be exempt from state privacy laws, other records and information we maintain on our members may be subject to these laws. Where state laws are more protective than HIPAA or require us to take action such as breach notification, we must comply with the state laws we are subject to, in addition to HIPAA. In certain cases, it may be necessary to modify our planned operations and procedures to comply with these more stringent state laws. Not only may some of these state laws impose fines and penalties upon violators, but also some, unlike HIPAA, may afford private rights of action to individuals who believe their personal information has been misused. In addition, state laws are changing rapidly, and there has been discussion of a new federal privacy law, a federal breach notification law and an enhanced HIPAA security rule, to which we may be subject. For additional information, see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Healthcare Industry.”
Federal and State Telecommunications Laws
There are a number of federal and state laws and regulations potentially applicable to communications by phone, text message, or facsimile, including the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, and those laws and regulations are continuously evolving. Our services that allow members and other platform users to leverage such telephonic communications may be subject to these laws and regulations.

Other Healthcare Laws and Regulations and Health Reform
There are many laws that govern the activities of healthcare professionals, some of which may be applied to us because of our relationships with them. Some of these requirements may apply to us even if we do not have a physical presence in the state, based solely on our agreements with providers licensed in the state. Many states limit the scope of business relationships between business entities and medical professionals. For example, while many states’ fee-splitting laws only prohibit a physician from sharing medical fees with a referral source, some states have interpreted certain management agreements between business entities and physicians as unlawful fee-splitting. These laws generally prohibit us from exercising control over the medical judgments or decisions of physicians and non-physician healthcare providers and from engaging in certain financial arrangements, such as splitting professional fees with healthcare providers. In addition, certain federal and state anti-kickback and false claims laws may apply to us indirectly through our arrangements with healthcare professionals and entities. Statutes and regulations relating to the practice of medicine, anti-kickback, fraud, fee-splitting, and similar issues vary widely from state to state. Because these laws are often vague, their application is frequently dependent on court rulings and attorney general opinions.
In addition, there have been several legislative and regulatory changes and proposed reforms of the healthcare system to contain costs, improve quality, and expand access to care, as well as changes and proposed reforms relating to public health emergencies and pandemic responses. There are numerous passed and pending laws relating to the use of artificial intelligence in healthcare that could impact the way healthcare professionals use such technologies in their practices which could therefore affect the way they engage with our platform. Failure to comply with any of these laws or regulations could lead to adverse judicial or administrative action against us and/or our provider customers, civil or criminal penalties, receipt of cease and desist orders from state regulators, loss of provider licenses, the need to make changes to the terms of engagement of our provider customers that interfere with our business, and other materially adverse consequences. For additional information, see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Healthcare Industry.”
Intellectual Property
We believe that our intellectual property rights are valuable and important to our business. We rely on a combination of trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade secrets, license agreements, confidentiality procedures, non-disclosure agreements, employee disclosure and invention assignment agreements, as well as other legal and contractual rights, to establish and protect our proprietary rights. However, our contractual provisions may not always be effective at preventing unauthorized parties from obtaining our intellectual property and proprietary technologies. In addition, though we rely in part upon these legal and contractual protections, we believe that factors such as the skills and ingenuity of our employees and the functionality and frequent enhancements to our platform are larger contributors to our success in the market.
As of March 31, 2026, we have six granted patents and fourteen pending non-provisional patent applications in the United States. We continually review our development efforts to assess the existence and patentability of new intellectual property.
We have an ongoing trademark and service mark registration program pursuant to which we register our brand names, product names, and logos in the United States to the extent we determine appropriate and cost-effective. As of March 31, 2026, we have a total of fifteen registered or applied-for trademarks in the United States and four registered trademarks in non-U.S. jurisdictions. We also have registered domain names for websites that we use in our business, such as www.doximity.com and other variations.
We intend to pursue additional intellectual property protection to the extent we believe it would be beneficial and cost-effective. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights, they may not be respected in the future or may be invalidated, circumvented, or challenged. In addition, if we were to expand internationally, the laws of certain foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as laws in the United States. We may be dependent on third-party content, technology, and intellectual property in connection with our business. We expect that infringement claims may increase as the number of products and competitors in our market increase. In addition, to the extent that we gain greater visibility and market exposure as a public company, we face a higher risk of being the subject of intellectual property infringement claims from third parties. Any third party intellectual property claims against us could significantly increase our expenses and could have a significant and negative impact on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Seasonality
Historically, we have experienced some seasonality based on the timing of marketing programs, subscription launches on our platform and budgetary timing of purchases of additional modules.
