About the Opportunity
Mercor is seeking experienced medical and health science professionals to author and review high-quality academic assessment content for an AI research initiative. You will create and evaluate rigorous multiple-choice questions across core health and medicine domains, assess solution quality, and help establish gold-standard benchmarks designed to advance AI capabilities.
You may contribute through one of two task types: Question Authoring or Question Verification.
Task Types
Question Authoring
- Create original, challenging multiple-choice questions within your area of medical expertise.
- Develop questions that assess deep conceptual understanding rather than surface-level recall.
- Rate each question according to its difficulty.
- Submit questions for review and refinement.
Question Verification
- Review pre-written questions for accuracy, clarity, completeness, precision, and rigor.
- Identify ambiguities, factual issues, missing information, or problems affecting solvability.
- Edit questions where necessary.
- Rate question difficulty and document the changes made.
Health & Medicine Domains
- Clinical Medicine & Surgery
- Medical Imaging & Diagnostics
- Pharmacovigilance
- Healthcare Management & Economics
- Rehabilitation & Allied Health
Responsibilities
- Author original health and medicine questions that test advanced conceptual understanding and clinical or scientific reasoning.
- Ensure questions are unambiguous, self-contained, and precisely defined.
- Include all information necessary for solving each question within the problem statement.
- Classify questions as:
- Medium: Introductory undergraduate level
- Hard: Advanced undergraduate level
- Expert: Postgraduate level and above
- Provide 1 correct answer and 9 plausible but subtly incorrect alternatives.
- Develop clear, step-by-step solutions explaining the reasoning behind the correct answer.
- Provide 1–5 academic references per question from reputable sources, including peer-reviewed journals and clinical guidelines.
- Review existing questions for clarity, completeness, precision, accuracy, and solvability.
- Identify and justify necessary edits during verification tasks.
- Maintain high standards of scientific accuracy, academic rigor, and question quality.
