$120-$340/hr emergency and resuscitation work, on your schedule
Review a model's triage calls, dispositions, and resuscitation plans the way you supervise a senior resident running the board. Catch the time-critical diagnosis a textbook algorithm misses.
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 attending catching the STEMI hiding behind a normal first ECG 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.
Emergency Medicine questions
Still curious? Write to us at support@terac.com.
Yes. Fellowship-trained and subspecialty-focused emergency physicians command the top of the $120-$340 band. Labs specifically request reviewers who can evaluate AI reasoning in toxicology, prehospital and EMS protocols, ultrasound, and trauma resuscitation, because those are the high-stakes domains where general knowledge is not enough.
We accept board-certified and board-eligible EM physicians in active or recent practice, and verify certification and licensure during onboarding. If you have stepped back from clinical shifts recently but maintained your boards and stayed current, you are still a strong fit for asynchronous evaluation work.
No. You never see or treat a real patient. You evaluate the model's triage calls, workups, resuscitation plans, and discharge notes as exemplars for training and benchmarking. There is no physician-patient relationship, no prescribing, and no clinical liability. You apply your judgment to text and cases, not care.
You review ESI triage assignments, ECG interpretations, differentials for undifferentiated complaints, ACLS and resuscitation plans, trauma documentation, dispositions, and discharge instructions. Some tasks are quick pass-or-fail grades; others ask you to write out the reasoning a model missed. Depth scales with the project and the rate.
That is the point. Tasks surface whether an AI reasons the way an ED attending does under uncertainty: chasing worst-first, ordering before confirming, and building return precautions. You evaluate the reasoning process, not just the final answer, so your bedside instinct for sick-versus-not-sick is the core thing being captured.
Why your expertise matters
When AI advises someone acutely ill, the failure is not a wrong fact - it is a missed time-critical diagnosis. STEMI behind a normal first ECG, a dissection called musculoskeletal pain, sepsis meeting no obvious SIRS criteria. Working up the undifferentiated patient worst-first takes an ED physician, not an algorithm. Your corrections teach these tools the discipline that keeps an ED safe.
How pay works
Emergency medicine projects pay $120-$340 an hour, with rates set by board certification, years on the boards, and subspecialty depth in toxicology, EMS, or trauma. Most work is remote and asynchronous - pick up batches between shifts or on days off. Payment is tied to verified, completed work, not promised hours.
What the work looks like
A sample of the emergency and resuscitation work you would pick up. Every project is scoped, remote, and paid on verified completion.
- Review a triage tool's ESI assignment for a 58-year-old with epigastric pain and diaphoresis scored as level 4, and flag the missed concern for an atypical inferior STEMI.
- Grade a chest pain workup that recommended discharge after a single negative troponin, and explain why serial troponins and a HEART score are required first.
- Evaluate a resuscitation plan for a pulseless patient that omitted reversible-cause reasoning, and flag the missing search for the H's and T's.
- Compare two discharge instructions for a pediatric head injury and identify which one fails to list return precautions for an evolving intracranial bleed.
- Audit a trauma activation note that recorded vitals but skipped the secondary survey, and explain the log-roll and posterior exam findings it should have prompted.
- Review a differential for a young woman with sudden severe headache that anchored on migraine, and flag the absent consideration of subarachnoid hemorrhage.
