What this actually is
You bring your specialist expertise to AI evaluation. The shape of the work varies but the pattern is the same: review outputs, rate quality, write prompts, flag errors. The platform title (Applied Health & Medicine Benchmark Specialist) reflects the rate band and the expertise required, not the day-to-day work.
How Mercor picks people
- Upload your CV and answer the role's written questions.
- Do a video interview with Mercor's AI interviewer. Most take about 20 minutes, in English unless the role says otherwise.
- Some roles add a skills test. A test you pass once counts for similar roles.
- The project team reviews your results and sends offers to the people it picks.
Before you start
- Take Mercor's free practice interview first. It does not count toward any application.
- Use Chrome on a computer with a camera and microphone, in a quiet room.
- You can retake an official interview up to 3 times, but hiring teams see how many times you retook it.
Not every applicant gets an offer. Prepare well for the interview.

Role Overview
We are seeking expert medical and health science professionals to author and review high-quality academic assessment content for an AI research initiative. You will write and verify rigorous multiple-choice questions across core health and medicine domains, evaluate solution quality, and help establish gold-standard benchmarks used to advance AI capabilities.
You will be assigned one of two task types:
- Question Authoring - Create original, challenging multiple-choice questions in your area of medical expertise, rate their difficulty, and submit them for review.
- Question Verification - Review pre-written questions for accuracy, clarity, and rigor. Edit where needed, rate difficulty, and document any changes made.
Health & Medicine Domains Covered
Clinical Medicine & Surgery, Medical Imaging & Diagnostics, Pharmacovigilance, Healthcare Management & Economics, Rehabilitation and Allied Health.
Key Responsibilities
- Author original health and medicine questions that test deep conceptual understanding, not surface-level recall
- Ensure questions are unambiguous, self-contained, and precisely defined - all necessary information must be in the problem statement
- Rate each question's difficulty: Medium (intro undergraduate), Hard (advanced undergraduate), or Expert (post-graduate and above)
- Provide 1 correct answer and 9 plausible but subtly incorrect alternatives that challenge expert-level solvers
- Write step-by-step Chain-of-Thought solutions with clear, concise reasoning in markdown format
- Supply 1-5 academic references per question from reputable sources (peer-reviewed journals, clinical guidelines)
- For verification tasks: flag issues with clarity, completeness, precision, or solvability and justify any edits made
Ideal Qualifications
- MD, DO, PhD, or doctoral candidate in Medicine, Biomedical Sciences, Public Health, or a closely related field
- Master's degree considered for candidates with exceptional depth in a specific subdomain
- Strong command of graduate-level medical knowledge, clinical reasoning, and biomedical research methodology
- Board certification, clinical experience, or research publications in health fields is a strong plus
- Excellent written English and ability to express complex ideas clearly and concisely
More About the Opportunity
- Expected commitment: 10+ hours/week
- Asynchronous, fully remote work
