Evaluate health AI outputs for diagnostic accuracy, clinical reasoning, care quality, and patient safety. This six-week project is for currently practicing US physicians who can contribute at least 20 hours per week.

You will review health AI model outputs covering diagnoses, clinical reasoning, care recommendations, and clinical workflows. Day-to-day work includes scoring responses against expert judgment, identifying unsafe or clinically weak conclusions, and documenting why an output meets or misses medical standards.

The work requires more than checking whether a final diagnosis is plausible. Reviewers must examine the reasoning path, recognize omitted red flags or contraindications, assess the clarity and rigor of recommendations, and flag failure modes that could compromise patient safety. Feedback is structured and written for AI researchers who will use it to improve model performance.

Mercor screens candidates through a 25-minute conversational interview focused on clinical background, current practice, experience, and motivation. The process also includes verification of medical degree, license status, residency completion, and current practice setting, followed by final roster confirmation with the project team.

The project is scheduled to start immediately and run for six weeks, with a part-time commitment of at least 20 hours per week. Collaboration with researchers is asynchronous; the listing requires candidates to be located in the US but does not explicitly state whether the work is fully remote.

Included with this listing

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 establishes whether your MD or DO, residency, specialty, and current clinical work can be verified and align with the requested practice areas.
A strong answer: Give a concise chronology that names the degree, residency specialty, current setting, patient population, and typical clinical responsibilities. Distinguish direct patient care from administrative, research, or teaching duties.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose credibility when they describe themselves broadly as a physician without specifying their current setting, specialty, or whether they still see patients.

Summary, eligibility guidance and screening preparation are prepared by Sidequest from the platform's posting. Check the source listing before applying.
