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

Review de-identified ophthalmology charts and compare AI-generated answers for clinical accuracy, safety and adherence to current standards of care. This remote, flexible part-time project is for board-certified ophthalmologists who are currently seeing patients in the United States.

The work

You will review de-identified patient charts, assess AI answers to ophthalmology questions and decide which of two responses is stronger. Each review requires a structured rationale addressing clinical rigor, completeness and clarity, along with clear identification of errors that could put a patient at risk.

What Mercor screens for

The application includes resume review, credential verification and a 25-minute conversational interview covering training, current practice, experience and motivation. Expect follow-up questions that test whether you can apply ophthalmology knowledge to specific chart evidence, distinguish material safety issues from minor shortcomings and explain comparative judgments precisely.

Qualifications

This role requires an MD or DO from an accredited medical school, board certification in ABO Ophthalmology through an ABMS member board or the AOA, and an active, unrestricted US medical license. Applicants must have completed residency and any required fellowship, be currently seeing patients in the US and have at least 1 year of independent practice after training. At least 3 years of post-training experience is strongly preferred.

Logistics

The project is remote, hourly and designed for flexible part-time participation, with an immediate start. The listing does not specify whether assignments are fully asynchronous or state a typical weekly hour range. Pay band: $175/hr

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 clinical timeline and tests whether your resume, board status, license status and current practice can be reconciled under follow-up.
A strong answer: Give a chronological account covering medical degree, residency, any fellowship, board certification, active license and current practice setting. Clearly separate training years from independent post-training practice.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose credibility when they give approximate dates that conflict with their resume or count residency and fellowship toward independent practice.
