Mercor

1. Role Overview

Mercor is partnering with a frontier AI-lab, looking for registered nurses with advanced phone/chat assessment skills, nurse practitioners or physician assistants experienced in virtual urgent care, and physicians who are comfortable practicing remotely. You’ll use evidence-based protocols to guide patients, escalate cases appropriately, and help verify AI-generated medical guidance. This is an excellent short-term opportunity (with possible extension) to shape next-generation digital health tools while working on your own schedule. 

2. Key Responsibilities

Conduct real-time or asynchronous triage via phone, chat, and video using standardized clinical pathways

Assess symptom acuity, provide safe self-care instructions, or route patients to higher levels of care

Review and edit AI-generated medical content for clinical accuracy, tone, and regulatory compliance

Document encounters clearly in the client’s tele-health platform and maintain HIPAA compliance

Collaborate with the client’s clinical operations and product teams to refine triage guidelines and workflows

3. Ideal Qualifications

Active, unrestricted RN, NP, PA, or MD/DO license in at least one U.S. state (multi-state highly valued)

3+ years of recent experience in urgent care, emergency, or primary care settings

Prior tele-health or nurse advice-line experience with phone/chat triage protocols (e.g., Schmitt-Thompson)

Strong written and verbal communication; able to translate clinical concepts for lay audiences

Reliable internet connection and a private, HIPAA-compliant workspace

4. More About the Opportunity

Remote and fully asynchronous options available; set your own hours

Expected commitment: 10–20 hours per week (flexible)

Initial contract: ~3 months with potential for renewal

5. Compensation & Contract Terms
