Infectious Disease Physician
Listing checked October 24, 2026 · pay as published by Mercor
Overview
Mercor works with a leading AI lab to test how well health models handle infectious disease cases, and the team needs board-certified ID physicians to serve as reviewers. Your day centers on de-identified patient charts: you read the record, then judge an AI answer against it for accuracy, safety, and fit with current standards of care. Plenty of tasks ask you to compare two model responses and pick the stronger one. You then write a short rationale that explains your call on clinical rigor, completeness, and clarity. Work runs remote on flexible part-time hours, and the project starts right away.

- 4Write structured rationales that cover clinical reasoning, completeness, and clarity of the answer
