    Highlights

    For each one, you'll assemble a realistic patient chart, pose the clinical question, answer it yourself, and decide what separates a strong response from a weak or unsafe one. You'll partner with our researchers to show them what good care looks like in your specialty, from the paperwork and handoffs to the decisions that never make it into a textbook.

    Description

    Orthopedic Surgeon, Clinical Expert (Contract)

     
    • San Francisco

    • 10–40 hours/week for 1 month

    • $200 - $400/hr

     

    About the role

    You will work with an applied AI research lab at the intersection of healthcare and AI. We're looking for board-certified orthopedic surgeons to bring real musculoskeletal and surgical judgment into how AI is tested and improved.

     

    This is a part-time contract role that fits alongside clinical practice. No coding or AI experience is required; we'll teach you the tools. What matters most is your clinical eye: knowing which finding on exam or imaging should change the treatment plan.

     

    What you'll do

    Clinical judgment is hard to teach, and that's where you come in. You'll partner with our researchers to show them what good care looks like in your specialty, from the paperwork and handoffs to the decisions that never make it into a textbook.

     

    You'll then put that expertise into practice by authoring clinical cases from the ground up. For each one, you'll assemble a realistic patient chart, pose the clinical question, answer it yourself, and decide what separates a strong response from a weak or unsafe one.
