Physician - Research Survey (ONET Occupation Study) | $128/hr Remote
Overview
This is a paid research opportunity for experienced physicians to help refine the U.S. government's occupational framework — the O*NET database. You'll be asked to share insights about your daily responsibilities in a short online session, and your input will directly shape how physician roles are documented. The commitment is minimal and the compensation reflects the value of your expertise.
What You'll Do4
- 1Participate in a one-time online survey or interview lasting up to 30 minutes where you describe your actual day-to-day tasks as a physician.
- 2If eligible, you may be invited for an optional follow-up survey, task, or brief interview — each would be compensated separately.
- 3Provide honest, detailed examples of your work to help build a more accurate picture of the profession.
- 4Complete the session remotely from anywhere in the U.S. at a time that suits your schedule.
Requirements4
- 1At least 2 years of hands-on experience working as a physician (SOC code 29-1229 — Physicians, All Other).
- 2Must be currently based in the United States.
- 3You should be working as a physician now or have been employed in the role very recently — this study is for active or recently active practitioners, not those who left the field years ago.
- 4Genuine physician experience is required; medical students or those with only general clinical exposure do not qualify unless they have formally held a physician role.
Who Should Apply
We’re looking for practicing physicians with at least two years on the job who can clearly describe their everyday work. You should be comfortable articulating your responsibilities, tools, and workflows in a short session. This is a great fit if you want to influence how the medical profession is understood nationally — without a long-term commitment.
Salary Insight
Compensation is $128 per hour, prorated for the time spent. The initial session is about 30 minutes, so the first payment will be roughly $64, with the possibility of additional paid tasks later.
Application Tip
Before starting the survey, take 5 minutes to mentally run through a typical workday — being able to recall specific tasks, tools, and interactions will make your responses more valuable and speed up the process.
