About the Opportunity
This opportunity is for experienced   medical and health science professionals   to contribute their expertise to an advanced   AI research and evaluation project   with Mercor.
You will author and verify high-quality academic assessment content across   clinical medicine, surgery, medical imaging and diagnostics, pharmacovigilance, healthcare management and economics, rehabilitation, and allied health   . The work focuses on developing rigorous benchmarks that evaluate AI systems on   deep conceptual understanding, clinical reasoning, accuracy, and professional judgment   .
Experts with advanced knowledge in relevant health and medicine domains are encouraged to apply.
Responsibilities
Develop original, challenging   health and medicine multiple-choice questions   that assess deep conceptual understanding rather than surface-level recall.
Create realistic assessment scenarios across   clinical medicine, surgery, diagnostics, pharmacovigilance, healthcare management, rehabilitation, and allied health   .
Provide  1 correct answer and 9 plausible but subtly incorrect alternatives   for each question.
Ensure questions are   self-contained, unambiguous, precise, and appropriately challenging   .
Rate each question according to difficulty:
Medium, Hard, or Expert   .
Develop clear, step-by-step solutions explaining the correct reasoning and answer.
Provide  1–5 reputable academic references   for each question, including peer-reviewed research and clinical guidelines.
Review and verify pre-written questions for   medical accuracy, clarity, completeness, precision, and solvability   .
Identify and correct inaccurate, ambiguous, or unsupported content.
Document and justify any modifications made during the verification process.
Evaluate AI-generated health and medical responses and identify   technical errors, unsupported conclusions, and gaps in reasoning   .
Ensure benchmark content reflects   graduate-level professional and academic medical knowledge   rather than basic textbook or examination-level recall.

Required Qualifications
MD, DO, PhD, or doctoral candidate   in Medicine, Biomedical Sciences, Public Health, or a closely related field.
Strong command of   graduate-level medical knowledge and clinical reasoning   .
Strong understanding of   biomedical research methodology and academic assessment design   .
Expertise in one or more relevant health and medicine domains.
Ability to evaluate complex medical information for   accuracy, rigor, and scientific validity   .
Excellent written English and ability to communicate complex medical concepts clearly and concisely.
Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills.
Ability to independently research and reference   peer-reviewed literature, clinical guidelines, and other authoritative sources   .

Preferred Qualifications
Experience in   clinical medicine, medical research, healthcare, or academic medicine   .
Board certification   or equivalent professional credentials.
Research publications in medicine, biomedical sciences, public health, or related fields.
Advanced specialization in   clinical medicine, surgery, medical imaging, diagnostics, pharmacovigilance, healthcare management, rehabilitation, or allied health   .
Experience creating   academic assessments, examination questions, training materials, or evaluation rubrics   .

Experience with   AI evaluation, AI training, benchmark development, or quality assurance   is a plus.
Experience reviewing or publishing   peer-reviewed academic or scientific content   .
