$90-$260/hr ambulatory urgent care work, on your schedule
Review a model's urgent care plans, discharge instructions, and referral calls the way you check a new provider on the fast track. Catch the red flag it treated as routine.
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 urgent care clinician routing a subtle appendicitis to the ED before it perforates 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.
Urgent Care questions
Still curious? Write to us at support@terac.com.
Yes. The urgent care track is open to ambulatory clinicians across roles: physicians (family, emergency, or internal medicine), nurse practitioners, and physician assistants who work the fast track. What we look for is real walk-in and urgent care triage experience. Your role and years help place your rate within the $90-$260 band.
Active or recent urgent care or ambulatory practice is the core requirement, along with a current US license appropriate to your role. We confirm your license and recent practice during onboarding. You do not need EM board certification - calibrated urgent care triage judgment is exactly the signal these projects want.
No. You evaluate the model's urgent care plans, discharge instructions, and referral decisions as training exemplars. You never see a live patient, never prescribe, and hold no clinical liability. You apply your ambulatory triage judgment to written cases and model outputs, not to actual care.
You review ambulatory triage calls, when-to-refer-to-the-ED decisions, minor trauma and laceration plans, antibiotic recommendations, pediatric acute assessments, and discharge and return-precaution instructions. These mirror the rapid disposition calls you make in the fast track, so your clinic instincts transfer straight across.
Many tasks are built around the boundary case - the minor complaint that is actually an emergency. You judge whether the AI correctly identified the red flag and escalated to the ED, not just whether its routine management looked fine. That focus on the safe-to-treat versus needs-the-ED line is the core skill recorded.
Why your expertise matters
Urgent care is one high-stakes call repeated all day: what is safe to treat here, and what belongs in the ED. A model gets routine cases right and fails at the boundary - reassuring a chest pain that needed 911, treating a surgical abdomen, missing the one sick child. Drawing that line takes an urgent care clinician, not a template. Your corrections teach these tools when to escalate.
How pay works
Urgent care projects pay $90-$260 an hour. Rates reflect your role - physician, NP, or PA - your years on the fast track, and depth in minor trauma, pediatrics, or occupational care. Work is remote and asynchronous - pick up batches around your clinic schedule. Payment is tied to verified, completed work, never promised availability.
What the work looks like
A sample of the ambulatory urgent care work you would pick up. Every project is scoped, remote, and paid on verified completion.
- Review a plan for a 45-year-old with left arm pain and nausea managed as a musculoskeletal strain, and flag the missed indication to route to the ED for cardiac workup.
- Grade a laceration plan that recommended in-clinic repair, and explain the tendon-involvement and neurovascular findings that should have prompted referral.
- Evaluate a discharge instruction for a febrile infant under three months treated as routine viral illness, and flag why this age group requires ED evaluation.
- Compare two antibiotic recommendations for an upper respiratory complaint and identify which one fails on stewardship by treating a clearly viral presentation.
- Audit an abdominal pain plan that discharged a patient with right-lower-quadrant tenderness, and explain the appendicitis red flags that warranted ED referral.
- Review a return-precaution section for a head-injury patient and identify the specific warning signs it omitted that should send the patient back or on to the ED.
