rate as listed

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

Review de-identified patient charts and compare AI-generated answers to infectious disease questions for accuracy, safety and clinical completeness. This remote, flexible part-time role is for board-certified infectious disease physicians who currently practice in the United States.

The work

You will review de-identified patient charts, assess two AI-generated responses to an infectious disease question and decide which response is stronger. Each evaluation requires a structured rationale addressing clinical accuracy, patient safety, completeness, clarity and consistency with current standards of care, plus explicit identification of errors that could cause harm.

What Mercor screens for

The application includes resume review, credential verification and a 25-minute conversational interview covering your training, current practice, experience and motivation. Expect follow-up questions that test whether you can cite specific clinical reasoning, distinguish consequential errors from minor omissions and evaluate an answer against the evidence contained in the chart. Required credentials include an MD or DO, qualifying infectious disease board certification, an active unrestricted US medical license, completed training and at least one year of independent post-training practice while currently seeing patients in the US; three or more years of post-training experience is strongly preferred.

Logistics

The project is remote, hourly and intended for flexible part-time participation, with an immediate start. The listing does not state a typical weekly commitment or explicitly confirm asynchronous scheduling. Pay band: $200/hr

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 required MD or DO pathway, qualifying infectious disease certification, unrestricted US license, completed training and current patient-facing practice.
A strong answer: Give the medical degree, residency and fellowship sequence, certifying board, active license jurisdiction, current practice setting and dates that establish independent post-training experience. Keep every credential consistent with the resume and information available for verification.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points when they say only that they are board certified or licensed without naming the certifying body, license jurisdiction, current setting or timeline.
