Freelance Question Reviewer (General Surgery)
About The Position
AMBOSS is seeking a board-certified, US-trained, practicing general surgeon for a project-specific, freelance consultancy role. This position involves supporting the discovery phase of a new specialty board exam Qbank and the rollout phase by providing clinical quality assurance for LLM-generated Qbank questions and content. The role requires applying clinical expertise to refine market data, consult on scope of practice and common pain points, and work directly on the general surgery board exam Qbank on the AMBOSS platform. This is an opportunity to influence medical education and improve board exam preparation for candidates globally.
Requirements
- Medical degree (MD/DO) with completed US general surgery residency training (ABS certification required).
- Current or recent clinical practice in general surgery in the US (within the last 2 years).
- Familiarity with the ABS exam content outline (Qualifying/Certifying Exam), with the current exam style and format, and current US clinical guidelines/evidence-based practice.
- Ability to efficiently collaborate asynchronously with fast turnaround.
- Ability to distinguish between board-relevant or clinically useful content and non-essential, nice-to-know subspecialty detail.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with medical education, teaching, or item writing (especially for residents or board exam preparation, e.g., ABS item-writing committees, NBME).
- Experience with clinical decision support or Qbank tools (e.g., AMBOSS, UWorld, TrueLearn).
- Experience reviewing or evaluating AI/LLM-generated clinical content.
Responsibilities
- Validate market research and consulting on e.g., practice patterns, study patterns, pain points, certification pathways.
- Review LLM-generated draft questions (stem, answer choices, and explanations) for clinical accuracy, board-exam relevance, and item quality.
- Flag inaccuracies, outdated information, flawed distractors, or missing high-risk content (without having to rewrite content yourself).
- Optional: Lead brief educational sessions focusing on surgical clinical decision-making or board-exam question conventions.
Benefits
- Flexible, asynchronous work: Contribute your expertise on your own schedule.
- Direct impact: Knowing your feedback immediately improves the safety and quality of a board exam preparation tool used by general surgery trainees.
- Clinical education: Sharing your specialty knowledge to help non-specialists and an AI-assisted content pipeline understand the nuances of surgical practice.
