Emergency Physician
About this role
Opportunity Overview Handshake is looking for emergency physicians to support AI research through flexible, part-time contract work. This is not a traditional job. You’ll draw on your clinical training and hands-on experience in emergency medicine, including rapid triage, resuscitation, undifferentiated presentations, trauma, and point-of-care ultrasound, to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI reason like a practicing emergency physician. The Handshake AI program runs year-round, with project opportunities opening periodically across different areas of expertise.
