Primary Care Physician (MD) - Outpatient Clinical Documentation & AI Evaluation
Listing checked September 3, 2026 · pay as published by Mercor
Overview
Your day job is writing outpatient notes in an EHR as a practicing primary care or internal medicine physician. This part-time remote contract channels that expertise into evaluating AI-generated clinical documentation for a healthcare AI partner. You review encounter summaries, flag omissions and inaccuracies, and annotate what a real PCP would document. The output shapes tools that support decision-making and note-taking. Hours are flexible but require a minimum of 10 per week for roughly three months, with pay at $170-$190/hr.
What You'll Do7
- 1Read outpatient clinical notes and encounter summaries from EHR systems, checking for accuracy and clinical soundness.
- 2Assess AI-generated patient notes against what a practicing PCP would actually record, identifying anything missing or distorted.
- 3Apply detailed annotation guidelines to outpatient encounter data, tagging errors and gaps.
- 4Pinpoint omissions, hallucinations, and factual inaccuracies in AI output and document them clearly.
- 5Write structured feedback that engineering and product teams can act on directly.
- 6Contribute expertise to annotation guidelines, flagging ambiguous edge cases and suggesting how to define them.
- 7Ask clarifying questions when guidance is unclear and propose updates to keep the guidelines practical.
Requirements7
- 1Hold an MD with at least two years of post-residency practice in primary care, family medicine, or general internal medicine.
- 2Currently see patients and write outpatient clinical notes as part of a regular schedule.
- 3Be based in the United States.
- 4Commit to a minimum of 10 hours per week for the next three months.
- 5Familiarity with Epic is preferred but not required.
- 6Prior experience with clinical documentation quality review, note auditing, or CDI is a plus.
- 7Any previous work on AI/ML annotation or model evaluation with strong performance reviews adds weight.
Who Should Apply
This role is for a practicing PCP who finds clinical documentation review satisfying and wants to steer AI in healthcare. If you are not currently writing outpatient notes, whether you work inpatient only or in a setting without an EHR, this contract will not fit. You also need a reliable 10-hour weekly commitment for three months; clinicians with unpredictable schedules often struggle to meet that. Applicants who omit their Epic experience or have no prior annotation background still qualify, but those who cannot demonstrate active outpatient practice or who overstate their availability tend to get filtered out.
Salary Insight
The contract pays $170-$190 per hour, which sits on the higher end for physician advisory work in AI evaluation. That rate typically matches a physician with several years of post-residency experience who can commit to a defined weekly schedule. No additional benefits come with this part-time engagement.
