Licensed Physician (MD/DO)

About the Role

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 US-based, actively practicing physicians (MD/DO) to evaluate clinical EHR vignettes for a medical AI evaluation program. General and internal medicine are our main focus. 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.

Requirements & Tech Stack

This opportunity is a good fit for US-based physicians open to part-time, non-permanent projects.

• Medical degree (MD or DO) and an active, unrestricted US medical license (verified with the issuing medical board).
• 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.
• Strong written English (C1+).
• Prior experience in medical AI evaluation, clinical content or exam-question review, or medical annotation/QA (a plus).

This opportunity is not fit for medical students, unlicensed medical graduates, non-physician clinicians (NPs, PAs, nurses, pharmacists), or non-clinical healthcare titles.

Project Details

• Project time expectations: Tasks are estimated to require around 10-20 hours per week during active phases. This is an estimate, not a guaranteed workload.
• Tasks must be submitted by the deadline and meet the listed acceptance criteria to be accepted.
• Compensation: Paid per accepted task. Your rate depends on the qualification tier you reach and how efficiently you complete tasks — up to the equivalent of $35/hr.
