SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Doximity, Inc.

This year's Residency Navigator, which includes insights on over 4,900 residency programs across 28 different specialties, goes a step further in helping medical students stay connected to their significant others with the launch of the Couples Match Tool.
