Medical Expert - AI Clinical Reasoning Contract
Listing checked September 12, 2026 · pay as published by AfterQuery
Overview
AfterQuery brings physicians, nurses, PAs and other clinicians into a remote contract role on its Medicine team. You will write tough clinical prompts and score AI answers for accuracy and sound medical reasoning. The work touches clinical diagnosis, treatment planning, pharmacology and patient safety. Plan for 40 hours each week at $50 to $200 per hour, with an assessment before anyone reviews your application.
What You'll Do7
- 1Craft clinical prompts that test how an AI model handles diagnosis, treatment choices and drug interactions.
- 2Review model outputs for factual errors, unsafe advice and gaps in medical logic.
- 3Catch details such as misread lab values, missed contraindications or flawed differential diagnoses.
- 4Compare AI reasoning against current standards in pharmacology, patient safety and nursing practice.
- 5Flag responses that could harm patients if a clinician followed them.
- 6Document findings so model developers can see each error pattern.
- 7Work across specialties when a prompt touches diagnosis, treatment planning or medication management.
Requirements7
- 1Active Medical License (MD or DO) and a valid NPI provider identifier.
- 2Clinical experience as a physician, nurse, PA or similar licensed professional.
- 3Deep knowledge of at least one care area such as diagnosis, treatment planning, pharmacology or nursing.
- 4Ability to spot errors in lab values, differential diagnoses and treatment decisions.
- 5Clear written English for prompt writing and evaluation notes.
- 6Comfort reviewing AI outputs without assuming the model is correct.
- 7Reliable schedule for 40 hours per week during the contract.
Who Should Apply
Licensed clinicians who hold an MD, DO, nursing, PA or equivalent credential and want to shape how AI handles medical questions will fit this contract. The role suits people with hands-on patient care experience and a sharp eye for lab values, differential diagnoses and treatment risks. Candidates who treat the task as simple data entry or who lack an active license and NPI tend to score low. Another common rejection reason: vague evaluation notes that fail to name the exact clinical error. If you cannot commit 40 hours per week or prefer direct patient care over detailed medical review, this role will not match your goals.
