Mercor is recruiting practicing US-based outpatient physicians (MD/DO, any specialty) to review and annotate clinical documentation and evaluate AI-generated notes against what a physician would actually chart. This is a multilingual cohort: alongside English you need C1-or-above speaking, listening, and writing in Czech, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, Vietnamese, or Finnish, with a minimum of 10 hours per week.

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

What the work actually involves

You will spend most of your time reading outpatient material — encounter notes, visit summaries, EHR excerpts — and judging whether AI-generated documentation holds up clinically. That means catching hallucinated findings, medications that were never prescribed, assessments that don't follow from the history, and the quieter failure mode: notes that read fluently but omit something a treating physician would have recorded. Findings are written up as structured feedback against detailed annotation guidelines, in a form an engineering or product team can act on without a clinician in the room to interpret it.

Because this is a multilingual cohort, some of the material and some of your written output will be in your second language. The listing is explicit that written proficiency carries real weight — reading clinical prose and composing precise feedback in Czech, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, Vietnamese, or Finnish is part of the job, not a nice-to-have. You are also expected to push back on the guidelines themselves: flagging ambiguity, proposing edge-case definitions, and asking clarifying questions rather than guessing at intent.

What the screen looks for

Mercor's screening is AI-led and follow-up heavy. Expect it to verify three things concretely: that you are currently practicing in an ambulatory setting and personally writing notes (not supervising, not exclusively inpatient, not lapsed); that your second-language proficiency survives being tested rather than asserted; and that you can reason out loud about documentation error severity — distinguishing a stylistic difference from a clinically consequential omission. Specialty is genuinely open. Epic familiarity, CDI or note-auditing exposure, prior annotation work, and charting in a non-English language are preferences that strengthen a file, not gates.
