DESCRIPTION

We are seeking expert medical and health science professionals to author and review high-quality academic assessment content for an AI research initiative. You will write and verify rigorous multiple-choice questions across core health and medicine domains, evaluate solution quality, and help establish gold-standard benchmarks used to advance AI capabilities. You will be assigned one of two task types: Question Authoring — Create original, challenging multiple-choice questions in your area of medical expertise, rate their difficulty, and submit them for review. Question Verification — Review pre-written questions for accuracy, clarity, and rigor. Edit where needed, rate difficulty, and document any changes made. Health & Medicine Domains Covered Clinical Medicine & Surgery, Medical Imaging & Diagnostics, Pharmacovigilance, Healthcare Management & Economics, Rehabilitation and Allied Health. Key Responsibilities Author original health and medicine questions that test deep conceptual understanding, not surface-level recall Ensure questions are unambiguous, self-contained, and precisely defined — all necessary information must be in the problem statement Rate each question's difficulty: Medium (intro undergraduate), Hard (advanced undergraduate), or Expert (post-graduate and above) Provide 1 correct answer and 9 plausible but subtly incorrect alternatives that challenge expert-level solvers Write step-by-step Chain-of-Thought solutions with clear, concise reasoning in markdown format Supply 1–5 academic references per question from reputable sources (peer-reviewed journals, clinical guidelines) For verification tasks: flag issues with clarity, completeness, precision, or solvability and justify any edits made Ideal
