FAQ
Questions about Side Gigs.
Am I training my replacement?
No. Physicians juggle a world of complexity: clinical workflows, patient interactions, bedside manner, procedural judgment, interdisciplinary consults, and real-time decision-making under uncertainty. While AI tools can increase productivity and support clinical work, they don't replace the physician. Your expertise is what makes these models safer and more useful, and the demand for that expertise is growing, not shrinking.
Who is this for?
Any physician (resident, fellow, or attending) who wants to monetize their clinical expertise outside of clinical shifts. Medical students with relevant research experience may also qualify for select opportunities.
What kind of work is available?
AI model evaluation, RLHF annotation, expert consultations with AI companies and startups, medical writing, chart review for training data, advisory board roles, and clinical validation projects.
How does verification work?
You'll provide your NPI number, specialty, and board certification status. We verify credentials once, and you're matched to relevant opportunities automatically.
How do I get paid?
Earnings go into your Rounds wallet after project completion. From there, you can cash out to your bank or leave funds in the wallet.
What does Rounds charge?
We're still finalizing pricing. We're weighing a small commission on booked consultations versus a flat annual subscription. Whatever we land on will be transparent and announced before we charge anyone — we won't surprise-charge you for work you've already booked.
Is this compliant with my employer?
Most consulting and evaluation work falls outside clinical practice and doesn't conflict with employment agreements. We provide guidance on common compliance scenarios, but recommend checking your specific contract.
