Django admin show who submitted the entry

I've a database of doctors. I want to be able to see in the admin panel under doctors who created a particular doctor entry. I've the following in my admin.py

class CustomUserAdmin(UserAdmin):
    filter_horizontal = ('user_permissions', 'groups')
    save_on_top = True
    list_display = ('username', 'email', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'is_staff', 'last_login', 'date_joined')

admin.site.register(User, CustomUserAdmin)


class DoctorAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ('name', 'specialization', 'education1', 'clinic', 'submitted_on', 'rating', 'netlikes')
    search_fields = ('name', 'id', 'specialization__name', 'clinic__name')

admin.site.register(Doctor, DoctorAdmin)

I want to have another column next to netlikes as 'submitted by' and would like to see the username of the person who created that doctor entry.

Your Doctor model will need to have a field that stores this information, such as

submitted_by = ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL)

You have to make sure to populate this information whenever you create a new instance of Doctor, probably using request.user. Then, in your ModelAdmin, you can just add this field to list_display.
