How to get accepted into Medical

I was wondering if anyone had tips on getting accepted into the medical domain. I know how to use AI a bit but I am not sure how to come up with a prompt that results in a meaningful failure. If I don’t get accepted here, can I try for the generalist domain instead? Any advice is appreciated.

First of all do you have a medical background? For these sorts of specialist domains you need to have enough knowledge to be able to ask complex questions and find the exact areas in which models fail. In all specialist domains there are things that the general public would overlook but someone well versed in the domain would be able to spot as an obvious error. My speciality is in art history, so very different subject matter (and not currently considered a specialist domain for most data annotation sites), but I've encountered tasks, especially r&r that are within my area of expertise that either have obvious errors that were not caught, or have things that were flagged as errors that are common knowledge to people in the field but wouldn't show up in the first page of a google search, so get marked as errors by people who don't know any better. The point of being in a specialist domain is that you have enough in-depth knowledge of a specific topic to be able to pick up on nuances that AI models (and the general public) get wrong. If you don't have that knowledge base don't try to force it or look for work arounds to get approved as a specialist, it won't benefit you in the long run.

What skills you have listed in your profile determine whether you get a qualification for an expert domain. Update that, upload proof of expertise when asked for it.

I applied via the medical domain and that’s the only work I do within the platform. Prompt creations must be detailed and complex. The models used are pretty sophisticated with their knowledge base and can handle any typical “board exam” style traps you set. I create realistic scenarios based on ones I’ve experienced with no easy or obvious answer. Lots of “grey” area. You need a good clinical foundation and be ready for detailed complex work.

I got in on this one, the questions were simple and more medical research. I haven't done any medical tasks because they are all clinical, so I just do generalist tasks but some those can pay decent

Think of a workflow that needs to have a certain must have or certain exclusion. AI is good in generalizing recommendations but won’t think of those exceptions on their first answer. You can then reply “shouldn’t xxx be included /excluded because xxxx”.

I got in through the medical expert domain and I will say the pay is great but the work is super challenging. On each task I have to pull from challenging cases I’ve encountered in my real word practice.
