AI training jobs for surgeons and dentists. Consent first, then the camera.
Surgeons, residents, OR nurses, surgical techs, hygienists, dentists, and dental assistants film procedures from their own eye line: a running suture on a pad, a crown prep on a typodont, a laparoscopic drill in the box trainer. eeko's data practice pays from $30 for each hour of footage that clears review, and licensed clinicians are quoted per project. Nothing involving a patient is recorded without the facility's written agreement and that patient's specific consent.
Patient consent and privacy come before any recording.
Most capture programs bury the consent rules at the bottom. In surgery and dentistry they are the whole design, so they come first. If a rule below is not met, the footage does not exist as far as our pipeline is concerned.
What is an AI training job for a surgeon or dentist?
An AI training job for surgeons and dentists is paid, consented recording of procedural technique from the operator's own eye line, used to teach surgical and dental AI systems how expert hands actually work. You are not annotating images at a laptop or answering questionnaires; you are doing the procedure you already know, with a small camera on your head, and being paid for the hours of footage a reviewer accepts.
The demand comes from a gap. Surgical robots, dental planning systems, and clinical AI assistants learn from demonstrations, and almost no first-person demonstrations exist with the consent, provenance, and licence an organization can actually use. eeko builds production AI for regulated enterprises, including healthcare clients, and our data practice exists because those models need material nobody had collected properly. Bedside nursing has its own program at AI training jobs for nurses and caregivers; every program and rate is listed under get paid to train AI.
Procedures and technique worth recording.
First-person footage of someone who has done a procedure a thousand times is rare, which is why this is the highest rate of any eeko capture program. Six kinds of session make up most of what we accept.
From application to first payout.
No résumé and no interview. A person on our team checks the fit, sets you up, and confirms your rate in writing before anything is recorded.
Paid per accepted hour, separate from your practice.
How the numbers work
- $30 base rate — for surgical techs, OR nurses, hygienists, assistants, residents, and instructors, per hour of footage that clears review.
- Licensed clinicians above that — surgeons and dentists get a per-project rate, agreed in writing before the first upload.
- Accepted hours, not worked hours — expect roughly 15 to 30 percent of raw footage to be returned at first, mostly for framing. Ten hours recorded, eight accepted, is $240 at the base rate; thirty hours at that acceptance rate comes to about $720.
- Additional, not instead — your salary, stipend, or practice income is untouched. This is a licence payment for recordings, not employment and not a wage.
- Stripe payouts — accepted sessions go to your balance and are paid out automatically, itemized per upload. A later change to the program rate never touches hours already accepted.
What makes an hour count.
Real technique, seen from where you stand, judged by someone who can tell good work from a rehearsal of it.
- Genuine A procedure or drill done as you normally would, not staged
- Followable In focus, lit, with the field and your hands in frame as agreed
- Consented Sim-lab permission, or the facility agreement plus patient consent on file
- New Each session paid once; a different case or drill, not the same clip twice
Nothing is rejected silently. Each returned session comes with the reason, and the fix is usually small. Your first hour is paid either way.
- Drifted Mount slipped and the camera is looking at the ceiling
- Idle Waiting, walking, or paperwork that should have been paused
- Unconsented A live case with no matching consent record; never paid, never delivered
- Repeated The same simple drill uploaded again to pad the hours
Join the surgical and dental capture program.
Two minutes. A person reads it, tells you whether the program fits your work right now, and lays out the next step. If you have a question about consent, ask it here; we answer every one before you record a thing.
Your application is in.
A real person on eeko's data team reads every application and replies within one business day with whether the program fits your work and what happens next. Nothing is recorded until you have been onboarded and said yes. Prefer email? Write to thomas@eeko.systems.
Surgeons and dentists ask us.
How much do AI training jobs for surgeons and dentists pay?
The program base rate is $30 per hour of footage that clears review. Surgeons, dentists, and anyone else holding a clinical licence are quoted above that, per project, and the figure is written into your agreement before the first session. Pay follows accepted minutes rather than minutes worked: a resident who records ten hours in the trainer lab and has eight accepted earns $240 for that week. There is no ceiling and no quota, and the money is separate from your salary or practice income.
Can I join if I only record in a simulation lab?
Yes, and that is where most participants stay. Suture pads, knot boards, laparoscopic box trainers, cadaver labs, typodonts, and phantom heads all produce footage we accept at the full rate, with no patient in the picture and no hospital consent process to clear. If you teach, narrated demonstrations for residents and students are especially useful. Nothing about the program requires you to ever record a live procedure.
How is patient consent handled for recorded procedures?
Through the institution, on paper, ahead of the day. A hospital or practice first signs an agreement with eeko that sets out what may be recorded, how footage is de-identified, and who may license it. Each patient then signs a consent that names AI training as the use, separate from their treatment consent, and can revoke it later. The camera frames the operative field and your hands. Faces, tattoos, wristbands, charts, monitors, and audio are removed before any item leaves our systems.
Does my hospital or dental practice need to approve this?
For anything involving a patient, always. In a hospital that generally means compliance, legal, and often an IRB or ethics committee, and our team handles those conversations directly rather than asking you to champion it alone. For a privately owned dental practice, the owner's signed agreement plus each patient's written consent is what is required. Sim-lab recording on models and trainers needs only the lab's permission to film in the space.
Who sees the footage and what is it used for?
Named AI and surgical-robotics organizations holding a written licence from eeko. They use it to train and evaluate systems that need to understand how an expert positions an instrument, controls bleeding, closes, or preps a tooth. Every clip carries its consent record, a cryptographic fingerprint, and a signed provenance entry, and all identifying detail is stripped before delivery. Footage is never posted publicly or placed on an open marketplace. Our data capture page explains the full pipeline.
Is this a job or an hourly wage?
Neither. You stay employed, credentialed, and paid exactly as you are today. eeko pays separately, per accepted hour of footage, under a short participation agreement covering consent, privacy, and pay. There is no exclusivity, no minimum, and no notice period: record when it suits you and stop when it does not. Hours you do not record, and uploads that fail review, are simply unpaid, with one exception for your first hour.
Other clinical and lab programs, and how the data is handled.
Run a sim center, a surgical service, or a dental office?
Institutions join under one written agreement that settles consent, privacy, and licence terms up front. Clinicians, residents, and staff are then paid for each hour of footage that is accepted, and your compliance team deals with one named contact at eeko. No deck. A one-page agreement.
