In short
Mercor is hiring infectious disease physicians to check health AI tools for a leading AI lab. You read de-identified patient charts and judge AI answers to clinical questions. The work is remote, on a freelance contract, and pays 200 USD per hour with flexible part-time hours, which may suit doctors who want more flexibility.
What you will do
- Review AI answers to infectious disease questions and check whether they are medically accurate and safe.
- Compare two AI responses against the patient chart and choose the stronger one.
- Write short, structured notes explaining your reasoning on accuracy, completeness and clarity.
- Flag any error that could put a patient's safety at risk.
What you need to apply
- An MD or DO from an accredited medical school.
- Board certification in Infectious Disease through ABIM or the AOA.
- An active, unrestricted US medical license.
- A completed residency, plus a fellowship if your specialty requires one.
- At least 3 years of post-training experience, and you must currently see patients in the US.
Who can apply
Only residents of the US may apply. The role requires an MD, and at least 3 years of experience is the minimum.
My tip
Before you apply, have your resume and your license, board certification and training details ready, since credentials are verified early. Set aside 25 minutes for the conversational interview, which covers your background, experience and motivations.
