Bilingual Medical Doctor (Japanese)

What you'll do

You bring clinical judgment to an AI healthcare project, in Japanese and English. The work covers annotating clinical scenarios, patient cases and healthcare data; reviewing AI-generated medical content for clinical accuracy and relevance; and assessing model outputs against what you see in real practice. Part of the job is translation in the broad sense: turning clinical terminology and workflows into guidance a model can learn from.

The Japanese requirement is the point of this listing. Japanese clinical language has its own conventions, from how charts are written to how kanji-heavy medical terms map onto English ones, and a model that is only checked in English misses them. Expect some collaboration with the customer's data scientists and engineers, and strict data security and privacy rules throughout.

Who fits

• Completed residency with current or recent clinical practice (final-year residents are considered)
• Strength in diagnostic analysis, general medicine, clinical protocols and physiology
• General specialties preferred, such as internal medicine, family practice or emergency medicine; some subspecialties are welcome
• A strong command of clinical terminology, in writing and speech
• Experience with electronic health records, patient data or medical documentation
• Japanese at JLPT N1 or equivalent (native or near-native)
• English at C1 or higher

No prior AI experience is required.

What it pays

micro1 publishes a flat $125/hour. The engagement is a part-time contract with a minimum of roughly 15 hours a week, so the floor commitment works out to around $1,875 a week at the published rate (our arithmetic, not micro1's figure).

Selection and start

The ad sets out four steps: an AI interview of about 35 minutes, a short questionnaire, a client review, then an offer and onboarding. micro1 says first tasks usually start within 24–48 hours of receiving credentials.

Worth knowing

Good:

• A single, unambiguous rate rather than a wide band
• Open worldwide, so Japanese-speaking doctors outside Japan qualify
• Final-year residents are considered
• 30 openings and a fast start once selected

Less good:

• The 15-hour weekly minimum is hard to fit around a full clinical rota
• Both N1 Japanese and C1 English are required, a narrow pool
• The customer and the exact task mix are not named
• Lower than micro1's Medical Doctor - Physician Expert listing at $230/hour, which does not ask for a second language
• Contractor engagement: no benefits, your own tax to manage
