Cardiologist
Listing checked October 24, 2026 · pay as published by Mercor
Overview
Mercor places board-certified cardiologists alongside a leading AI lab to test health models on real clinical questions. You read de-identified patient charts, then judge competing AI answers in cardiology for accuracy, safety, and fit with current standards of care. Each judgment you record shapes how these AI models respond for clinicians and patients. The work runs remote and hourly, with part-time hours you arrange around your practice.
What You'll Do5
- 1Score AI answers to cardiology questions against current standards of care and flag anything that could harm a patient.
- 2Compare two model responses to the same case and choose the stronger one, using the patient chart as your reference.
- 3Write structured rationales that cover clinical rigor, completeness, and clarity of each answer.
- 4Cross-check every clinical claim in a response against the de-identified patient record.
- 5Escalate safety errors and patterns of weak reasoning so the model team can address them.
Requirements7
- 1MD or DO from an accredited medical school.
- 2Board certified in ABIM Cardiovascular Disease through an ABMS member board or the AOA.
- 3Active, unrestricted US medical license.
- 4Residency complete, plus a fellowship where your specialty requires one.
- 5Currently seeing patients in the US, with at least one year of independent practice after training.
- 6Three or more years of post-training experience strongly preferred.
- 7Clear written communication and close attention to detail.
Who Should Apply
Practicing, board-certified cardiologists who still see patients and want flexible, paid work judging AI output. Strong fit if you hold an active US license, have at least a year of independent practice, and can explain clinical reasoning in clear writing.

Mercor
VerifiedCritical Care Physician
Mercor places board-certified critical care physicians on a project with a leading AI lab, where your clinical judgment becomes the check on machine-generated answers. You read de-identified patient charts, then score AI responses to critical care questions against the chart and against current standards of care. Every rationale you write on clinical rigor, completeness, and clarity feeds directly into how these health models get better. Hours are flexible and part-time, the work happens remotely, and the start date is immediate.
Mercor
VerifiedGeneral Physician
Mercor pairs experienced physicians with a leading AI lab to check how well health AI models handle diagnosis, clinical reasoning, and care workflows. You will review model outputs, score how each answer aligns with accepted medical practice, and write feedback that helps researchers see where a model fails. The work is part-time at 20 or more hours each week and runs for six weeks, with an immediate start. Candidates need an MD or DO, an active unrestricted US license, completed residency, and a current patient-facing practice.
Mercor
VerifiedMedical Expert (M.D./D.O.) - Remote Part-Time
Mercor keeps this listing open for physicians who want to shape how frontier AI models handle clinical reasoning. The work fits around your practice: you might write a clinical vignette from a real case, complete with presentation, labs, and imaging, then supply the attending-level answer used as a reference. Other projects ask you to grade model output on diagnostic reasoning, checking whether a differential follows a sensible order, whether the model anchors on a first impression, and whether the proposed workup matches guidelines. You also flag recommendations that read well in a textbook but fail the patient in front of you because of comorbidities, contraindications, or access limits. Projects start on short notice, so Mercor draws from this pool when client demand matches your specialty.
Mercor
VerifiedDermatologist
Mercor seeks board-certified dermatologists to review how health AI models answer clinical questions. You will work from de-identified patient charts, compare two model responses, and judge which one holds up against standards of care. The work supports a leading AI lab and runs remote with flexible part-time hours. ABD Dermatology certification and an active US license are central to the role.
Mercor
VerifiedEndocrinologist
Mercor seeks board-certified endocrinologists to grade health AI models for a leading AI lab. You will read de-identified patient charts and judge how well model answers hold up against real clinical standards in endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism. The work runs remote on an hourly basis with flexible part-time hours, and the start date is immediate. Expect a credential check covering license status, board certification, training, and current practice setting before onboarding wraps up.
Mercor
VerifiedNephrologist
Mercor pairs board-certified nephrologists with a leading AI lab to grade how well health models answer clinical questions. You work from de-identified patient charts, reading each case and judging AI-generated responses against current standards of care. The work runs remote on an hourly basis, and hours stay flexible enough to fit around an active practice. Your reviews carry real weight: the errors you catch shape models that clinicians and patients may later depend on.
