Emergency Medicine Physician Author, UWorld Medical

Emergency Medicine Physician Author, UWorld Medical

You thrive under pressure. Now shape the physicians who'll follow you.

You've run codes, juggled a packed waiting room, and made split-second calls that changed lives. What if all that hard-earned clinical judgment could help train thousands of future physicians around the world?

At UWorld, our Physician Authors keep practicing the medicine they love while making an impact far beyond their own shifts. We're looking for an Emergency Medicine physician to join our talented team of physicians, editors, and medical illustrators to create high-quality, compelling content for our USMLE, Internal Medicine (ABIM), and Family Medicine (ABFM) Question Banks, plus exciting new products in the pipeline.

You'll bring the real-world intensity of the ED to learners everywhere, sharpen your own knowledge along the way, and enjoy a career that blends patient care, teaching, and creativity. Bonus: you'll also get a schedule that leaves room to actually recover between shifts.

The best of both worlds

As a Physician Author, you'll split your time between clinical practice and medical education. You'll work part-time in an emergency department or other clinical setting and spend the rest of your time at our corporate office in Irving, Texas. Most schedules combine 25-40% clinical work with 60-75% nonclinical work at UWorld, so you stay clinically sharp while building something that reaches far beyond one emergency department.

What you'll do

• Write cases with real ED energy. Develop original clinical vignettes and comprehensive explanations for our USMLE, ABIM, ABFM, and other Question Banks, aligned with exam blueprints and the high-yield, high-stakes scenarios learners need to master.
• Make great content even better. Review and revise fellow authors' work, offering thoughtful feedback focused on accuracy, clarity, and educational value.
• Bring medicine to life visually. Partner with our medical illustration team to create captivating, high-yield images that highlight essential emergency medicine concepts and procedures.
• Collaborate across teams. Work with physicians, editors, illustrators, IT experts, and customer support professionals to produce top-notch content, improve processes, and respond to learner feedback.
• Triage like a pro. Manage your time effectively across projects while contributing to a positive, team-oriented culture.
• Pitch in where it counts. Take on additional projects that support UWorld's mission of excellence in medical education.

What you bring

• Board-certified or board-eligible MD in Emergency Medicine
• High scores on USMLE Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3
• Strong communication skills and a genuine passion for educating future physicians
• Experience writing board-style questions, tutoring medical students, or working in an academic setting is a plus

Why you'll love working at UWorld

• Generous paid time off, including parental and bereavement leave, plus a full week off during the winter holiday season
• 8 hours of paid volunteer time each year to give back to causes you care about
• Comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, and even pet insurance for your four-legged family members
• 401(k) with a 5% employer match, available after 90 days of employment
• Professional growth opportunities, including annual learning and development programs
• Onsite fitness classes and wellness initiatives that help you practice what medicine preaches
• A company-wide Social Committee that knows how to have fun, with inclusive events like Field Day, our Halloween Costume Party, and the Annual Company Gala
