Kinetic Systems Orthopedic Surgeon, Clinical Expert (Contract) role involves partnering with AI researchers to apply clinical judgment in orthopedic surgery. The expert authors clinical cases, assembling patient charts and evaluating clinical responses to improve AI testing.

Responsibilities

This is a part-time contract role that fits alongside clinical practice. No coding or AI experience is required; we'll teach you the tools. What matters most is your clinical eye: knowing which finding on exam or imaging should change the treatment plan.
Clinical judgment is hard to teach, and that's where you come in. You'll partner with our researchers to show them what good care looks like in your specialty, from the paperwork and handoffs to the decisions that never make it into a textbook.
You'll then put that expertise into practice by authoring clinical cases from the ground up. For each one, you'll assemble a realistic patient chart, pose the clinical question, answer it yourself, and decide what separates a strong response from a weak or unsafe one.
