- Identify missing reasoning steps, unsupported conclusions, unsafe recommendations, deviations from established guidelines, and clinically inappropriate responses
- Evaluate whether AI-generated answers meet the standards expected in real-world clinical practice
- Instruction & Reference Dataset Development
- Develop clear, detailed instruction specifications that define expected clinical reasoning and outcomes
- Create high-quality reference solutions for complex clinical problems and scenarios
- Develop new clinical tasks that accurately represent how healthcare professionals evaluate and solve real-world medical problems
- Benchmark & Evaluation Development
- Design challenging clinical scenarios and evaluation datasets that test medical reasoning, decision-making, and domain knowledge
- Contribute to the development of medicine-specific benchmarks, tools, and evaluation methodologies
- Help establish measurable standards for assessing the quality and reliability of AI-generated clinical responses
- Expert Calibration & Collaboration
- Collaborate with researchers and specialists from adjacent medical and technical disciplines to maintain consistent evaluation standards
- Translate practical clinical judgment and experience into explicit, structured, and teachable evaluation criteria
- Provide precise written feedback that helps improve the quality and reliability of AI systems
Qualifications
- Education: MD or DO from an accredited medical school, along with completion of residency training in a recognized medical specialty
- Clinical Experience: Minimum 4 years of post-residency clinical practice. Residency and fellowship training alone do not count toward this requirement
