What the work involves

You author case scenarios drawn from the kind of studies you actually perform — a technically difficult RUQ in a large-habitus patient, an incidental finding on a screening carotid, an OB biometry set that doesn't match dates. Each scenario needs a reference answer that spells out the reasoning: why this transducer and this preset, why that measurement plane and not the adjacent one, what the finding does and does not support, and what the next step is including when the answer is "notify the radiologist now." The second half of the work is grading: you read model output against your own reasoning and mark where it is sonographically wrong, where it is right for the wrong reason, and where it sounds fluent and confident while quietly skipping the step that would have caught a critical diagnosis.

That last category is the point of the project. Labs are less interested in whether a model can recite a protocol than in whether it will miss a torsion, a DVT above the popliteal, or a pericardial effusion because the surrounding text read plausibly. Your job is to build cases that expose that gap and to write rationales precise enough that a non-sonographer reviewer can see why the model failed.

What the platform screens for

  • Verifiable credentials. ARDMS registration — RDMS, RDCS, or RVT — in at least one specialty, and where you scan or have scanned.
  • Hands-on depth. Screens probe image optimization, protocol selection, and findings interpretation with follow-ups. Generic textbook answers get pushed on; specifics about your own scanning decisions hold up.
  • Written reasoning. You will likely be asked to explain a technique choice in writing. Clarity matters more than length.
  • Grading judgment. Expect at least one sample of model output to critique, testing whether you can separate a stylistic flaw from a patient-safety error.

Logistics

Fully remote and fully async — no call, no weekends, no scheduled shifts. You set your hours week to week with a floor of about 10. Pay is hourly, observed at $60–90/hr on this platform and reported as weekly via Stripe; bands and volume vary by specialty and project phase. Work is ongoing rather than a fixed contract, and sonographers holding multiple ARDMS specialties, or with high-risk OB, MSK, pediatric, or vascular depth, tend to see more scenario requests.
