Mercor para médicos y expertos médicos (2026)

Frequently asked

Why do AI labs pay doctors for this work?

Labs need clinicians to review AI outputs for safety, accuracy and reasoning, and to write reference answers that match real clinical practice. There is no substitute for an actual doctor reading the model.

What does a typical Mercor task look like for a doctor?

A short clinical prompt (case, question, differential) with one or several model answers. You rate them, flag errors, and write what the correct or safer answer would be. No patient contact, no licensing risk.

How much do doctors earn on Mercor?

Rates are commonly 50 to 80 $ per hour for specialists in shortage areas (psychiatry, cardiology, paediatrics, oncology, rare diseases). Generalists in family medicine tend to be slightly lower but still well above non-medical rates.

How many hours per week is realistic for a doctor?

Most clinicians on Mercor do five to ten hours per week between shifts. Some scale higher when a project is hot. The asynchronous nature pairs well with the unpredictable hours of clinical work.

Are there compliance concerns?

You are reviewing AI outputs, not treating patients, so most professional bodies treat this as consulting or academic work. Read your jurisdiction’s rules and disclose the side activity to your employer where required.
