Overview
AfterQuery builds expert evaluation data that frontier AI labs use to test model judgment. Speech language pathologists in this contract role write and grade communication and swallowing scenarios that cover evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment planning. The work stays remote and async, with no caseload, no billing minutes, and hours you set above a 10-hour weekly minimum. Your reference answers give labs a clinical benchmark for diagnostic accuracy, patient safety, and evidence based practice.
What You'll Do5
- Draft realistic SLP cases that span assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning for pediatric or adult clients.
- Write model answers that show the clinical reasoning behind each recommendation, clear enough for another SLP to follow.
- Review model responses for diagnostic accuracy, patient safety, and alignment with evidence based practice.
- Identify recommendations that sound plausible but would create risk or fail in real care.
- Document your grading rationale so reviewers can trace the clinical judgment behind each score.
Requirements6
- ASHA CCC-SLP credential plus an active, unencumbered state license.
- At least two years of clinical practice after completing your clinical fellowship.
- Clinical depth with pediatric or adult populations in speech, language, or dysphagia.
- Clear written English that lets another clinician follow your reasoning.
- Availability for at least 10 hours per week.
- Preferred: MBSS or FEES instrumental experience, AAC depth, medical SLP or school based caseload work, or supervision of clinical fellows or graduate students.
Who Should Apply
An ASHA CCC-SLP with an active, unencumbered license and two or more years of post-fellowship practice fits this work. Strong candidates bring pediatric or adult depth in speech, language, or dysphagia and can explain clinical decisions in clear written English.
