About The Doc Is In

History of The DOC IS In

The DOC IS In (Describing Our Careers Interactive Summary Initiative) is a project that was established in 2014 by Drs. Renate Savich and Eric Horowitz to better understand the neonatologist workforce.  The DOC IS In is dedicated to increased transparency in careers of physicians in order to inform research, empower self-reflection, and guide strategic advocacy. 

Mission Statement

Vision Statement

To work with and advocate for the needs of pediatricians as it pertains to defining our who, what, when, where, why, and how, so that our profession can achieve equity where most critical and attract those most fit to care for those most fragile in our communities.
