When navigating the Skadoc network, you will notice certain profiles featuring a verified checkmark. It is important for all members, residents, and medical officials to understand exactly what this badge represents.
Currently, the Skadoc checkmark functions strictly as a Premium Tier Badge attained through paid membership. It highlights highly active users within the peer network and unlocks advanced platform tools, enhanced search filters, and prioritized forum visibility.
However, this community checkmark is not a real identity verification, primary-source credential check, or official medical licensing audit. Skadoc does not cross-reference premium profiles with state registries, national boards, or hospital HR systems. Medical officials and program directors must continue to rely on standard primary-source channels (like the ECFMG or state boards) to verify legal identity and credentials.
To maintain network integrity, the platform is actively exploring secure, multi-tier identity authentication models for future updates, while strict moderation remains in place to ensure fair, honest communication across all clinical forums.
