We are looking for oncologists based in the United States with hands-on clinical practice experience.

- Provide clear, well-structured expert responses and chain-of-thought reasoning that reflect real clinical decision-making

- Fully remote — work on your own schedule.

- Payments weekly on Stripe or Wise.
- Cannot support H1-B or STEM OPT.
- Offer Details:
