Overview

AfterQuery, a YC-backed startup, brings practicing physicians onto its team to write and grade the clinical scenarios behind its AI training work. You turn cases from your own experience into clinical case studies that test whether a model can reason through diagnosis and treatment, then score each answer against current medical guidelines. The arrangement runs remote and asynchronous, which leaves room for a residency, a fellowship, or a full patient panel. Physicians who write well and catch a weak differential get the most out of the work.

What You'll Do6

  • Build detailed patient cases and branching scenarios that push AI models to weigh competing diagnoses and treatment paths.
  • Grade model responses on medical accuracy, internal logic, and alignment with accepted standards of care.
  • Point out reasoning gaps where output skips a step a practicing clinician would never skip.
  • Work with clinicians, engineers, and content leads to calibrate how hard each case should be.
  • Reshape scenarios so they match the messy presentations seen on real wards rather than textbook examples.
  • Record the clinical rationale behind each judgment so reviewers can follow your reasoning.

Requirements7

  • Active MD or DO with a current license in a recognized jurisdiction and an NPI on file.
  • Clinical or academic record that shows command of contemporary practice and how care actually gets delivered.
  • Ability to explain a complex presentation in plain written English that a non-clinician engineer can act on.
  • Comfort judging long technical AI output and defending that judgment with references to guidelines.
  • Several years in practice or a research portfolio in a specialty area.
  • Background in medical education, clinical training material, or health technology work.
  • Familiarity with AI or digital health tools used in clinical decision support.

Who Should Apply

Licensed physicians who still see patients and want a hand in how AI handles diagnosis and treatment. Strong fit if you write with precision, enjoy dissecting another clinician's reasoning, and can commit hours on a schedule you control.

Salary Insight

The posted rate is $160 per hour, and the listing notes performance incentives on top of it. That sits well above what clinical review and medical writing work usually pays, and the premium tracks with active licensure plus specialty depth.
