Overview

Handshake is seeking experienced Physicians to support AI research through flexible, hourly contract work. This is not a traditional full-time clinical, hospital, or private practice role. You’ll use your real-world clinical expertise and medical decision-making experience to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand medical knowledge, clinical reasoning, diagnostic processes, treatment considerations, and professional communication in healthcare settings.

This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity that can be done alongside research, teaching, postdoctoral work, or industry employment.
