Cardiac Sonographer (rdcs)

Clinical contribution

Help AI research reflect the clinical reasoning used in echocardiography. This hourly contract draws on practical clinical experience to develop demanding tasks and assess the answers produced by AI systems. The work can fit around an existing role through a flexible, part time arrangement.

Tasks and review

• Create challenging exercises based on actual clinical workflows, covering acquiring and improving images, standard echo views, Doppler and hemodynamic measurements, chamber measurements, pathology recognition, and preliminary reporting.
• Judge model responses for clinical or technical correctness, patient safety, and consistency with current practice and relevant professional guidance.
• Explain your assessments in organized written feedback that researchers can use to improve model performance.

The assignments call for specialist judgment and clear explanations of complex echocardiography concepts. Careful reading and attention to the details of each response are essential to the review work.

Qualifications

A bachelor’s degree and completion of an accredited sonography program are mandatory. You must hold ARDMS RDCS registration or the equivalent RCS credential issued by Cardiovascular Credentialing International (CCI).

Working knowledge is required in at least one of these areas:

• Transthoracic studies in adults, Doppler assessment of hemodynamics and valves, or stress and contrast studies.
• Transesophageal studies (TEE), pediatric studies, or congenital heart imaging.
• Three dimensional echo and strain imaging, or examinations in critical care and bedside settings.

Other credentials, including RVT, RDMS, or advanced echo certifications, and experience in different echo laboratories are welcome. Work in an academic medical center, hospital echo laboratory, or cardiology practice is useful, as are experience teaching learners and familiarity with image management and reporting systems.

All contributors need strong written communication, a careful approach to detail, and the ability to complete assignments independently in a remote environment.

Pay and working arrangements

Compensation is hourly and may reach $130 per hour, depending on the project. Work is fully remote and asynchronous, so tasks can be completed at your own pace without a fixed schedule or a minimum number of hours. The research program operates throughout the year, with assignments opening periodically in different specialties.
