Medical listings tend to ask for a license, a certification or a clinical specialty. Keep your credentials and specialty to hand, and check whether the listing limits applicants to US-licensed clinicians.
Applying starts with an AI interview, then certification, then matching to projects by recruiters. micro1 says certification does not guarantee a project, so treat this as flexible work and not as a job offer. The how to become an AI trainer guide walks through each step.
