$130-$350/hr ICU and critical care work, on your schedule
Review AI-drafted sepsis bundles, vasopressor and fluid plans, and ICU decisions the way you'd check a handoff: flag the under-resuscitated patient, defend norepinephrine before more crystalloid. Remote, paid per task.
Trusted by top research companies
Hi, we're Zac and Jack, the founders of Terac. We want to talk to you directly, because you are the most important part of what we're building.
Terac is a community of experts. People who have spent years getting good at something specific and hard. The world is about to need more of you, not less. As AI takes on more of the world's work, the bottleneck shifts to the people who actually know what they're talking about.
Expert labor is the rarest resource in the world right now, and it is shockingly hard to find. The companies that need an intensivist catching early septic shock the model wrote off as stable spend weeks chasing people, paying placement fees, and settling for whoever is available. Meanwhile thousands of qualified people are sitting with knowledge that no one ever asks for.
That gap is what we're here to close. Every project that lands on Terac is routed to the people who actually know the answer, on their schedule, paid fairly, and only when the work is verified. No middleman taking a cut of your time. No vague gigs. No chasing checks.
We care about every single person in this community. If you join Terac, you're not a row in a database to us. We read the feedback. We answer the emails. We will fight for you when a customer is being unreasonable, and we will be honest with you when something on our side is broken. The quality of this panel is our entire company, and we owe you a serious bar.
If you've made it this far, here is what we're asking: claim your profile. Put your expertise on the record. Let the world's most ambitious teams come find you for the work only you can do.
Critical Care / ICU questions
Still curious? Write to us at support@terac.com.
Critical care is trajectory and resuscitation under uncertainty: spotting occult shock, choosing norepinephrine over more fluid, and reading hemodynamics in real time. Models handle stable-floor reasoning but miss the crashing patient. That intensivist judgment is what these projects pay you to capture.
We ask for board certification in critical care medicine (pulmonary/critical care, surgical, or anesthesia critical care) and an active or recent US license. We verify credentials at onboarding via Government ID and professional attestations. Some projects need active practice; others accept recently retired intensivists.
No. You evaluate AI outputs and training data, not patients. No patient relationship, no orders, no liability. You apply your critical-care expertise to judge whether the model's ICU reasoning is safe and correct, the way you'd review a handoff or a fellow's plan.
AI sepsis assessments, vasopressor and fluid-resuscitation plans, shock workups, ARDS and ventilation strategies, ICU triage outputs, and critical-care consult notes. You flag dangerous decisions, defend SCCM and Surviving Sepsis standards, and write adversarial cases that expose where ICU reasoning breaks.
That gap is the focus. Models treat the SCCM sepsis bundle as a static checklist and miss the timing, sequencing, and integration real resuscitation demands. You mark the cases where bundle elements ran out of order or too late, delayed source control, premature de-escalation, so the model learns timed, integrated care.
Why your expertise matters
Today's critical-care AI calls the early-shock patient stable, adds crystalloid when norepinephrine is the move, and treats an SCCM bundle as a checklist. Catching that takes an intensivist who knows which sick patient is about to crash. Your corrections teach these tools timed, integrated resuscitation.
How pay works
Intensivists earn $130 to $350 an hour. Routine ICU triage and bundle review sits lower; undifferentiated shock, ARDS, and multi-organ-failure reasoning reach the top. Remote and asynchronous, a few hours a week. Paid hourly for review, with bonuses on adversarial cases you build to break a model.
What the work looks like
A sample of the ICU and critical care work you would pick up. Every project is scoped, remote, and paid on verified completion.
- Flag an AI sepsis assessment that called occult septic shock stable despite a rising lactate and narrowing pulse pressure.
- Grade two resuscitation plans and catch the one adding a fourth liter of crystalloid instead of starting norepinephrine.
- Audit a vasopressor plan that set the MAP goal wrong for a patient with chronic hypertension.
- Rank ICU triage outputs and flag the one downgrading a patient with early ARDS and rising oxygen needs.
- Write a mixed cardiogenic-and-septic-shock case to test whether the model picks the right pressor and support.
- Critique an ICU plan that delayed source control in abdominal sepsis, violating SCCM bundle timing.
