A new Doximity initiative co-chaired by Dr. Eric Topol, founder and director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute, is pitching physician review as a safeguard for generative AI answers—an approach with local relevance because Scripps Health and UC San Diego Health are listed among health systems starting to implement Doximity’s AI tools, according to a Feb. 5 Newsweek report.

Newsweek reported that Doximity said 300,000 unique clinicians used its AI tools in the last three months of 2025, and that the company has signed more than 100 enterprise agreements with health systems that began implementing the tools in January. The roster Newsweek cited includes Scripps Health, UCHealth, UC San Diego Health, Prisma Health, and the University of Rochester Medical Center, with Doximity expecting the partnerships to expand access to more than 175,000 clinicians. 

“Doximity’s community is humungous,” Topol told Newsweek. “It’s 3 million clinicians, virtually every clinician in the country. There’s just no other medical community that has this many active participants.” 

PeerCheck “involves physicians in the oversight of Doximity’s generative AI tools,” Newsweek reported, asking original report authors and subject matter experts to “review and refine the chatbot’s responses.” 

In Doximity’s own description, PeerCheck “strives to ensure the promise of AI in medicine remains grounded in human wisdom” and attributes reviewers by name alongside validated content. Doximity also says reviewers “will not be held personally or professionally liable” for their contributions and that the company “assumes responsibility for the final output and publication of all PeerCheck-reviewed content.”
