[Hiring] Medical Doctor @Aptura

Role Description

We are seeking qualified medical doctors to annotate and code clinical documents with SNOMED CT, with a focus on accuracy and consistency against detailed coding guidelines. You will work asynchronously on a dedicated annotation platform, coding de-identified clinical notes and documentation including discharge summaries, lab results, and progress notes against SNOMED CT concepts to support the development of clinical AI platforms. This is a remote, flexible and short-term project.

Key Responsibilities

• Structured Annotation: Identify clinically relevant concepts across discharge summaries, lab results, and prognosis notes, and map them to the correct SNOMED CT codes on a dedicated platform.
• Guideline Application: Work to a coding guideline covering hierarchy scope, negation, medication scope, section-level inclusions, and compound coding, applied consistently across a large volume of documents.
• Edge Case Handling: Flag ambiguous or contested cases with a short rationale so guidance can be refined.
• Quality Review: Participate in adjudication rounds to resolve disagreements and reach a consensus code set.

Qualifications

• License: GMC Registered Doctor based in the UK
• Experience: Minimum 1–2 years of clinical practice, with SNOMED CT coding or clinical terminology experience.
• Knowledge: Strong grounding in clinical documentation, terminology, and coding conventions.
• Attention to detail: Proven accuracy and consistency in coding or clinical review work.
• Technical proficiency: Comfortable using structured annotation tools and digital platforms.
• Language: Native or near-native written English.

Requirements

• You will have the right to work in your country of residence.
• You will work as an independent contractor.

Benefits

• Flexible Work Arrangements: Part-time, remote, and fully asynchronous.
• Competitive Compensation: Hourly rate, paid weekly.
• Professional Development: Hands-on experience in clinical AI development and terminology work, shaping how AI systems interpret clinical records and assign medical codes.
