Physician time is the scarcest input medical AI has, and the rates on this board reflect that directly. A model that is confidently wrong about a differential is a liability, and the only reliable check is someone who carries the license.
What the listings actually pay
Across 23 live listings in this category that publish a rate, the median top-of-range is $120 an hour, reaching $250 at the top. No patient contact and no protected health information are involved, which is what makes this fit around clinical work instead of competing with it.

What moves your rate
Every listing below links to the full role with its own requirements and application link. Rates shown are what the listing itself advertises, and listings without a published rate are left out rather than estimated.
How to apply
Every role above links to its own page with the full requirements and a direct application link. Applications are completed on the hiring platform and typically take a few minutes, with a short skills assessment in place of an interview.
Two things are worth doing before you apply. Check whether the role accepts applicants from your country using the eligibility checker, and run the advertised rate through the take-home calculator, because this is contract work and the headline rate is before self-employment tax.

What do AI jobs for doctors and physicians pay?
Across 23 live listings in this category with published rates, the median top-of-range is $120 an hour and the highest currently reaches $250.
Does this involve patient care or PHI?
Neither. You are reviewing model output using your clinical knowledge. There is no patient contact and no protected health information, so there is no HIPAA exposure.
