What the work actually is
You write clinical pharmacy problems that are hard for a model in an interesting way, then defend the answer key. A typical unit of work: a renally-adjusted dosing case with a drifting CrCl, a warfarin interaction layered onto a new antifungal, a compounding or sterile-products calculation, an anticoagulation bridge, a formulary substitution where the obvious swap is wrong. Alongside authoring, you'll review model outputs and mark where the reasoning fails — not just whether the final dose is correct, but whether the model chose the right equation, cited a real monograph, and recognized when the answer depends on information it wasn't given. Rationales matter as much as answers; a case with a correct key and a hand-waved explanation gets sent back.
What the screen looks for
AfterQuery reads every application against a published rubric, and the assessment stage is written. The screen is checking three things: that your licence and PharmD are real and current, that your clinical depth survives a follow-up question (they will push past the first answer), and that you can distinguish a question with one defensible answer from one that is genuinely ambiguous. Contributors who describe their practice setting concretely — patient volume, service line, the kinds of consults they field — read very differently from those who list credentials. Board certification (BCPS, BCACP, BCOP) and residency training are noted as pluses, not gates.
Logistics
- Fully remote, asynchronous, 1099 contractor; Stripe for payment.
- Observed band is $60–100/hr, varying by specialty and task type — stated as observed, not guaranteed.
- No fixed shifts. Most contributors work in blocks of a few hours; project matches typically arrive within a week of onboarding.
- Work is credited and reviewed. Expect revision requests on early submissions.
- Note: the listing's application link points to a dentist-expert path — that appears to be a template artifact on AfterQuery's side, not a different role.
