Medical Evaluation Specialist (students, residents, physicians) | $40-$90/hr Remote
Overview
micro1 engages clinicians across the training spectrum (medical students, residents, practicing physicians) to author difficult medical Q&A pairs that teach AI systems to reason clinically. The job combines medical knowledge with research rigor: you will formulate questions that test nuanced judgment, verify answers against primary literature and clinical guidelines, and critique AI responses for accuracy. Work is fully remote on a contract basis, with output-based pay ranging from $40-$90 per hour. No previous AI experience is required; the core qualification is your medical expertise.
What You'll Do6

- 2Check every answer against peer-reviewed sources and official guidelines, and document the reasoning and citations used to support each response.
- 3Create questions that demand integrative thinking and professional judgment instead of memorized facts.
- 4Review AI-generated answers to your questions, flag overly simple ones, and rewrite them to raise complexity without sacrificing clinical correctness.
- 5Ensure each written item is unambiguous, precise, and defensible under scrutiny.
- 6Apply feedback from reviewers and adjust work to match current project standards and specifications.
Requirements7
- 1Active enrollment in medical school, residency, or active clinical practice as a physician; alternatively, equivalent biomedical research experience.

Who Should Apply
The ideal candidate is a medical professional who finds satisfaction in writing precise, evidence-based questions and evaluating AI reasoning. The role is not a good fit for clinicians who want direct patient interaction or dislike sustained writing and literature verification. Common reasons candidates get rejected include submitting questions with weak citations or overly simple answers, and failing to meet the weekly output minimum.
