About the job Remote | Dermatologist (MD) — Clinical Image Interpretation & AI Evaluation — $270/hour

We are sharing a specialised consulting opportunity for experienced Dermatologists with strong expertise in clinical image interpretation, dermatological diagnosis, lesion description, differential assessment, and medical reasoning to contribute to advanced AI training and clinical-evaluation projects.

Selected professionals will apply dermatology expertise to non-clinical work involving image interpretation, structured annotation, case reasoning, AI-output review, and evaluation-framework development. This role does not involve direct patient care or responsibility for live diagnosis. Contributors join a shared expert pool and may be matched across multiple workstreams based on subspecialty, availability, and project needs.

Key Responsibilities

Clinical Image Interpretation & Case Reasoning

• Review dermatological images alongside relevant patient history and clinical context
• Document diagnostic reasoning rather than providing only a final impression
• Identify clinically significant findings using precise dermatological terminology
• Evaluate presentations across the full range of skin tones
• Apply specialist judgement to common, complex, and atypical dermatological cases

Image Annotation & Lesion Assessment

• Annotate dermatological images according to structured project schemas
• Describe lesion morphology, colour, configuration, distribution, and anatomical site
• Maintain consistency and precision across repeated image-review tasks
• Identify image features relevant to diagnosis and clinical interpretation
• Support development of high-quality dermatological reference datasets

Differential Diagnosis & Severity Evaluation

• Develop ranked differential diagnoses with supporting clinical reasoning
• Assess severity, progression, and relevant visual changes where required
• Distinguish plausible findings from unsupported or speculative conclusions
• Apply appropriate clinical judgement to ambiguous or difficult presentations
• Evaluate cases involving rarer conditions and diagnostically challenging appearances

AI Output Review & Clinical Quality

• Review AI-generated dermatological assessments against professional clinical standards
• Identify hallucinated findings, missed observations, and unsupported certainty
• Assess the quality of diagnostic reasoning, terminology, and clinical interpretation
• Provide structured feedback explaining significant weaknesses or errors
• Help define what constitutes clinically sound and appropriately qualified dermatological analysis

Evaluation Criteria & Difficult-Case Development

• Develop grading criteria and guidelines for consistent evaluation of dermatology outputs
• Define distinctions between excellent, acceptable, and inadequate clinical assessments
• Create difficult cases designed to test the limits of model reasoning
• Incorporate variation in skin tone, presentation, severity, and diagnostic complexity
• Contribute teaching, assessment, and rubric-design expertise where relevant

Ideal Profile

• MD or DO with completed dermatology residency
• Board certification through the ABD or equivalent certifying body in the country of practice, or board eligibility with residency completed
• Active, unrestricted medical licence in the country of practice
• 3 years of post-residency clinical dermatology experience
• Strong ability to identify and describe dermatological conditions using precise medical terminology
• Demonstrated competence evaluating dermatological presentations across varied skin tones
• Strong diagnostic reasoning and differential-assessment skills
• Written and spoken English fluency
• Fellowship or focused practice in dermatopathology, paediatric dermatology, surgical dermatology, or complex medical dermatology is advantageous
• U.S. licensure and board certification are particularly valuable
• Medical image annotation, AI evaluation, or dataset-curation experience is beneficial
• Teaching, rubric design, resident assessment, published research, or sustained technical writing experience is advantageous
• Prior AI-training or model-evaluation experience is not required

Engagement Details

• Independent contractor engagement
• Fully remote and open worldwide
• Compensation: $270/hour
• Minimum commitment: 15 hours per week, with the ability to concentrate hours during time-boxed workstreams
• This is a non-clinical engagement with no direct patient care or responsibility for live diagnosis
• Contributors join a shared expert pool and may move between concurrent workstreams based on subspecialty, availability, interest, and project priorities
• Tasks may range from approximately 10 minutes for structured annotation to around 1 hour for full case authoring
• Specific throughput expectations will be provided for each assigned workstream
• Work may involve case interpretation, image annotation, differential assessment, severity grading, AI-output review, guideline development, and difficult-case authoring
• Payments are made weekly through Stripe or Wise based on services rendered
• Projects may be extended, shortened, or concluded early depending on project needs and performance
• H1-B and STEM OPT candidates cannot currently be supported
• Work must be completed without using confidential or proprietary information belonging to any employer, client, healthcare organisation, institution, patient, or other third party
