We are seeking a highly qualified and dedicated Medical Director (MD/DO) to join our team. The role will focus on establishing and nurturing peer-to-peer relationships with key medical and clinical experts while playing a pivotal role in the development and maintenance of clinical content for MDCalc.

Clinical Expertise for Sales Support: Provide in-depth clinical guidance and expertise to the life sciences team, enabling them to frame medical solutions and product benefits in alignment with clinical best practices during the sales process.
Pre-Call Disease State Education: Deliver focused, up-to-date training to internal teams on specific disease states, products, or clinical guidelines before client meetings or sales calls, ensuring team members are well-versed in the latest medical evidence and terminology.
Active Participation in Sales Pitches: Join select sales pitches or client engagements to act as the “voice of the physician,” answering complex clinical questions, offering objective scientific insights, and building trust with clients through credible peer-to-peer dialogue—while remaining compliant and non-promotional in approach.

Collaborate with the MDCalc internal content team to identify these areas for opportunity, and to create, update, and curate clinical content, including calculators, guidelines, and other resources.
Strategic Initiatives: Provide design and support for strategic initiatives, projects, and partnerships related to clinical content development and overall engagement of the MDCalc site.
Clinical Review: Act as a subject matter expert and participate in the clinical review of content products to ensure accuracy, relevancy, and adherence to best clinical practices.
Feedback Loop: Establish feedback mechanisms with key opinion leaders, along with internal stakeholders, to incorporate their insights and recommendations into our clinical content.
