Job description

Basic Science / Nonclinical Physician Content Specialist

Your next patient: the future of medicine

Remember the first time the Krebs cycle actually made sense? Or when a pathophysiology concept finally clicked and suddenly a dozen clinical findings fell into place? At UWorld, we create those moments for hundreds of thousands of medical learners around the world.

We're looking for a Basic Science / Nonclinical Physician Content Specialist who loves the science behind medicine as much as the practice of it. You'll create and refine high-quality content for our widely trusted web-based products, including our USMLE®, Internal Medicine (ABIM®), and Family Medicine (ABFM) Question Banks.

You'll join a talented team of physicians, editors, and medical illustrators who share a simple goal: making complex medicine clear, memorable, and genuinely useful. Along the way, you'll sharpen your own expertise, grow your skills, and enjoy something many physicians only hear about: real work-life balance.

What you'll do

• Write questions that teach. Develop engaging, high-yield content for our USMLE®, ABIM®, ABFM, and other Question Banks, with a focus on basic science topics and clinical vignettes that help learners connect mechanisms to patients.
• Make great content even better. Review and strengthen colleagues' work, offering thoughtful feedback in a collaborative, supportive environment.
  Bring science to life visually. Partner with our medical illustration team to create striking visuals that make tough concepts easier to understand and harder to forget.
• Collaborate across disciplines. Work with team members across UWorld to streamline content development, enhance the learner experience, and respond to learner feedback.
• Keep many plates spinning. Manage multiple projects with ease while helping to keep our team culture positive and energized.
  Pitch in where it counts. Take on additional projects that support UWorld's mission of excellence in medical education.

What you bring

• MD or DO degree with a strong foundation in the basic sciences
• High scores on USMLE® Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3
• Exceptional communication skills and a genuine passion for educational innovation
• A love of writing and experience creating educational materials, particularly in nonclinical or academic settings
• A meticulous eye for accuracy and detail, because in medicine and medical education, the details matter

Why you'll love working at UWorld

• Competitive compensation based on experience
• 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
