Job Description

About the Company

Paid per approved task, about $100/hr equivalent. One flat rate for every approved task.

Built to Fit Around a Clinical Practice

Tasks estimated at about 10–20 hrs/week while the project is active; you choose when and how much to contribute

  • Contribute anytime, from anywhere
  • No patient contact, no malpractice exposure: you review written clinical cases
  • All reviewers are license-verified physicians
  • $50 one-time onboarding reward, paid once your first production task is approved

Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies, focused on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. Participation is project-based.

What This Opportunity Involves

We’re looking for actively practicing physicians (MD/DO) with an active, unrestricted US medical license to evaluate clinical EHR vignettes for a medical AI evaluation project. General and internal medicine are the main focus. On this project, contributors may:

Evaluate clinical EHR vignettes paired with a question, a proposed answer, and a distractor “trap” answer across diagnosis and treatment tasks, spanning cardiovascular, nervous, hematologic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive, musculoskeletal, and integumentary systems;

Score the clinical reasoning quality of benchmark items: vignette accuracy and completeness, whether the vignette gives the answer away, answer correctness and gradeability, and trap quality;

Check whether the reasoning chain reaches the answer from vignette facts alone, correct reasoning traces, and write short rationales;

Work within three independent blind reads, followed by physician adjudication. Real clinical complexity only. You’re improving the AI tools you’ll eventually use yourself.

If you’re a practicing physician ready to take on this challenging and engaging project, apply to take part!

What We Look For

This opportunity is a good fit for US-licensed physicians looking for a flexible, time-limited project they can fit around clinical practice. Ideally, contributors will have:

Medical degree (MD or DO) and an active, unrestricted US medical license (verified at onboarding and re-checked monthly);

Board certification or completed residency training, with recent direct patient care (attending-level preferred);

Broad, multi-system diagnostic and treatment experience (internal, family, emergency, or hospital medicine);

Strong clinical reasoning: differential diagnosis, next-step management, and application of evidence-based guidelines;

Prior experience in medical AI evaluation, clinical content or exam-question review, or medical annotation/QA (a plus);

  • Strong written English (C1+).
  • This opportunity is not suitable for medical students, unlicensed medical graduates, non-physician clinicians (NPs, PAs, nurses, pharmacists), or non-clinical healthcare titles.
  • How it works

Project Time Expectations

Earnings

$50 one-time onboarding reward, paid once your first production task is approved.

Incentives: additional earnings for high-quality approved tasks. Terms are shared in the project guidelines.
