Orthodontist

$150/hr

rate as listed

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

Practicing US orthodontists review de-identified dental imaging, produce reference findings, and evaluate AI-generated reads for clinical errors. The remote project requires current patient care, an active unrestricted US dental license, and at least five years of independent orthodontic practice after residency.

The work

You will interpret de-identified cephalometric and panoramic radiographs, CBCT studies, and intraoral scans. Day to day, this means recording reference findings, applying orthodontic diagnostic and treatment-planning reasoning, and reviewing AI-drafted reads for inaccurate, unsupported, incomplete, or potentially unsafe claims.

What Mercor screens for

The application includes a 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 explain imaging findings precisely, distinguish evidence from inference, and write structured rationales addressing clinical rigor, completeness, and clarity.

Practical details

The project is remote, hourly, and designed for flexible part-time participation, with an immediate start. The listing does not specify typical weekly hours or explicitly confirm fully asynchronous scheduling, so candidates should clarify workload and turnaround expectations during onboarding.

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 post-residency experience and whether the candidate is currently making independent orthodontic decisions for US patients.
A strong answer: Give a concise chronology covering dental school, accredited orthodontics residency, completion date, independent practice duration, and current patient-facing workload. Separate residency experience from independent practice clearly.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by counting residency toward the five years or describing a past orthodontic role without confirming that they currently treat patients.

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