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

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

The work

You will review de-identified patient charts and compare two AI-generated answers to orthopedic surgery questions. For each case, you will determine which response is stronger, assess clinical accuracy and completeness, write a structured rationale, and flag errors that could put a patient at risk.

What the screen assesses

Mercor verifies your MD or DO degree, board certification, medical license, completed training and current US practice setting. A 25-minute conversational interview covers your clinical background, independent practice experience and motivation, with follow-up questions likely to test whether you can apply current standards of care to specific orthopedic cases.

Working arrangement

The project is remote, hourly and designed for flexible part-time participation, with an immediate start. The listing does not specify a weekly hour commitment, fixed working times or whether every task can be completed asynchronously.

Pay band: $350/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 sequence of medical education, residency, any applicable fellowship, board certification and current patient-facing work against the submitted resume and credential records.
A strong answer: Give a concise chronology with institutions, completion dates, certification body, current practice setting and principal clinical focus. Clearly distinguish training from independent post-training practice.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points when dates are vague or when fellowship, certification and independent practice are blended together in a way that prevents verification.

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