Overview
Mercor recruits Certified Pharmacy Technicians for a project with a leading AI research lab. You will review medication-related clinical content and judge AI-generated answers for accuracy, safety, clarity, and completeness. The work centers on prior authorization workflows and topics such as dosing, contraindications, drug interactions, and pharmacy operations. Certified Pharmacy Technicians with medication management experience and 30 to 40 hours of weekly availability can shape clinical AI systems.

- 3Correct incomplete or inaccurate responses and add structured annotations plus written feedback.

Who Should Apply
Certified Pharmacy Technicians who have handled prescriptions, prior authorizations, and medication safety reviews will fit this project best. The role suits someone who can write clear annotations and follow detailed rubrics while working 30 to 40 hours per week. Candidates without CPhT credentials or hands-on pharmacy operations experience will struggle, even if they know AI concepts. Applicants who treat the work as general data entry or who miss drug interaction details often score low on fit. Those unable to commit to the weekly schedule or to revise their work after calibration feedback should not apply.
Salary Insight
The project pays $35.00 per hour. For remote pharmacy technician work tied to clinical AI evaluation, this rate sits above many standard retail or hospital technician roles and matches the higher end of contract annotation work that requires CPhT credentials. No benefits or full-time salary are mentioned, so pay comes as hourly project work.

Mercor
VerifiedMedical Expert - Remote AI Evaluation & Review
Mercor recruits health professionals who can supply the medical judgment that top AI research teams cannot generate on their own. The medicine pool is an open call, not a single opening, so it remains live while projects start on short notice. When a project launches, you may write a case from your practice with the presentation, workup, constraints, and reference answer that sets the standard for grading a model's attempt. You may also review model output for clinical reasoning, checking whether the differential follows a sensible order, whether a guideline applies to the patient, and whether the care plan is safe to carry out. Mercor sets rates per project, and most work is remote and part-time.
