Medicine Physician (MD/DO/Doctoral study/PhD)
Listing checked August 25, 2026 · pay as published by Turing
Overview
Turing, a San Francisco-based research accelerator, works with frontier AI labs and global enterprises to advance AI systems. This role puts licensed physicians at the center of evaluating how AI handles clinical reasoning. You will design evaluation methods for real medical problems, drawing on evidence-based medicine, and build assessment approaches that capture the nuance of clinical practice. The engagement is remote and flexible, up to 30 hours per week for one month, with possible extension based on performance.
What You'll Do6
- 1Design systematic evaluation frameworks for medical AI systems.
- 2Create clinical scenarios that test AI reasoning and decision-making capabilities.
- 3Build assessment methods that capture the nuance of clinical practice.
- 4Identify gaps in AI medical knowledge and reasoning.
- 5Collaborate with AI researchers to improve model performance.
- 6Work with research teams to evaluate and improve how AI systems handle clinical reasoning.
Requirements4
- 1Hold a medical license and remain in active clinical practice in any specialty.
- 2Apply experience in clinical decision-making and evidence-based medicine to real cases.
- 3Show a genuine interest in how AI can support clinical practice.
- 4Communicate analytical findings clearly to AI researchers and research teams.
Who Should Apply
The ideal candidate is a licensed physician currently seeing patients in any specialty, with hands-on experience in clinical decision-making and evidence-based medicine. This role requires turning clinical expertise into structured evaluation cases, so strong analytical and communication skills are essential. Physicians who prefer direct patient care over research collaboration will not find the work fulfilling. Candidates often score low when they cannot give specific examples of clinical reasoning challenges or when they show little genuine interest in AI applications.

Turing
VerifiedResident Medical Specialist (MD/DO)
This remote role places licensed physicians at the center of AI evaluation for clinical reasoning. You will design test scenarios, assessment frameworks, and gap analyses for medical AI systems, collaborating directly with AI researchers. The engagement is flexible and can fit around your clinical schedule, requiring up to 30 hours per week over a one-month contract, with possible extensions based on performance. Your hands-on medical judgment will shape how AI models handle real-world diagnostic and management problems.
Mercor
VerifiedPhysician (MD/DO) - Remote Clinical AI Evaluation
Mercor maintains a shared pool of residency-trained physicians who take on non-clinical work building and judging clinical AI systems. Your clinical judgment feeds into grading-criteria development, clinical dialogue evaluation, and structured annotation, the raw material that decides how a model gets measured. The role carries no patient care and no live diagnostic duty. Matching happens after onboarding and depends on your specialty, availability, and interest, so you can rotate between workstreams as priorities shift. Physicians set the standard these systems are held to, and here you write it.
Micro1
VerifiedMedical Doctor - Physician Expert
micro1 is looking for Medical Doctor - Physician Experts to support a customer's advanced healthcare project. You will apply your clinical knowledge to help train next-generation AI systems, shaping how models learn and reason through high-quality, real-world input. No prior AI experience is needed. Your domain expertise in diagnostic analysis, medicine, and healthcare protocols is what matters. You will analyze patient and operational data to improve healthcare outcomes and inform the development of intelligent systems that support medical decision-making and workflow improvements.
Handshake AI
VerifiedPhysician AI Medical Content Evaluator
Handshake AI needs licensed physicians to shape how future AI models handle complex medical questions. You will write challenging clinical questions, supply evidence-based reference answers, and judge model outputs for medical accuracy, reasoning, and safety. The role runs as a remote, asynchronous fellowship, so you set your own hours. Most contributors log 5 to 20 hours each week, with no minimum requirement. You join as a 1099 independent contractor and receive payment through Stripe for each completed task.
AfterQuery
VerifiedMedical MD Expert - Remote Contract Role
AfterQuery, a YC-backed startup, needs practicing or recently graduated physicians to build and grade the clinical material that trains its medical AI. You will write case studies and decision scenarios drawn from real practice, then score how model outputs hold up against clinical guidelines and standard care. The work sits at the meeting point of medical education and digital health, with roughly 20 hours a week on a remote, asynchronous schedule. Cases you design directly shape whether these systems give sound advice when clinicians and patients rely on them.
Mercor
VerifiedClinical Medicine Domain Expert
A leading AI lab's GenAI team needs a practicing clinician to shape how frontier models reason about real clinical work. You will audit medical knowledge tasks for clinical soundness, write the instruction specs and golden solutions that set the standard for correctness, and design benchmarks that track model improvement. This full-time W-2 role runs through Cincinnatus LLC, with placement inside the client's own tools and workflows. Expect a hybrid schedule in the Bay Area, with on-site days each week, so local residency or a self-funded relocation is required.
