General Surgeon

$200/hr

rate as listed

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

Evaluate AI-generated answers to general surgery questions using de-identified patient charts and current standards of care. This remote, flexible part-time role is for board-certified general surgeons who are currently practicing in the United States.

The work

You will review de-identified patient charts, compare two AI-generated responses to clinical questions, and determine which response is stronger. Each evaluation requires a structured rationale addressing clinical accuracy, safety, completeness, clarity, and consistency with the chart and current general surgery standards of care.

What Mercor screens for

The screening process focuses on verifiable surgical training and current practice, including an MD or DO, general surgery board certification through an ABMS member board or the AOA, an active unrestricted US medical license, completed residency and any required fellowship, and at least one year of independent practice after training. Three or more years of post-training experience is strongly preferred. Expect follow-up questions that test whether you can identify consequential clinical errors, resolve ambiguity in a chart, and explain a pairwise judgment precisely.

Logistics

The project is remote, hourly, and designed for flexible part-time participation, with an immediate start. The listing does not specify whether all work is asynchronous or state typical weekly hours. Application and onboarding include a resume upload, a 25-minute conversational interview, credential verification, and next steps within a few days.

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 verifies the exact credential path, current license status, completion of required training, and length of independent practice stated in the listing.
A strong answer: Give a chronological account with degree type, residency completion, any applicable fellowship, certifying board, active license jurisdiction, and independent practice dates. Distinguish training years from post-training practice.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by saying only that they are a board-certified surgeon without naming the certifying body, license status, or dates needed to verify independent experience.
