Workload: ~15h/week
Engagement: Project-based
Location: Worldwide
Field: Medical

Review de-identified critical care charts, compare AI-generated clinical answers and document which response is safer and more accurate. This remote, flexible part-time role is for board-certified critical care physicians who currently practice in the United States.

The work

You will review de-identified patient charts and evaluate AI answers to critical care questions. Day-to-day tasks include comparing two responses against the chart, selecting the stronger response, writing a structured rationale and flagging errors that could compromise patient safety. Reviews consider clinical accuracy, completeness, clarity and alignment with current standards of care.

What Mercor screens for

The application includes a resume review and a 25-minute conversational interview covering your training, current clinical work, experience and motivation. Expect credential verification for your MD or DO degree, active unrestricted US medical license, Critical Care Medicine board certification, completed training and current US practice. The screening may also test whether you can identify chart-supported facts, distinguish minor omissions from consequential safety failures and explain a clinical ranking concisely.

Interview prep — 10 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: This verifies the required training sequence, accepted Critical Care Medicine certification, post-training experience and present involvement in US patient care.
A strong answer: Give a dated, internally consistent path from medical school through residency and any required fellowship, then identify the certifying board, years of independent practice and the type of ICU work you currently perform. Keep credential details consistent with your resume and license record.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points when dates are vague, fellowship status is unclear or administrative and research work is presented as current bedside practice.
