Clear, Defensible Reporting
  • Produce well-structured medical reports that clearly communicate your clinical reasoning and conclusions.
  • Ensure reports are thorough, evidence-based, and submitted within required timeframes.
  • Document findings in a manner that supports transparency, regulatory compliance, and high-quality decision-making.
Professional Integrity & Collaboration
  • Maintain impartiality, adhere to ethical standards, and avoid conflicts of interest.
  • Comply with applicable licensing requirements, QME regulations (if relevant), and MMRO quality expectations.
  • Communicate with MMRO’s Panel Health Program and case teams to clarify questions or provide medical insight when needed.
Qualifications
Required
  • MD or DO with an active, unrestricted medical license.
  • Board certification in your specialty.
  • Minimum of 3–5 years of post-training clinical experience.
  • Strong analytical and written communication skills.
  • Commitment to objective, evidence-based medical assessment.
Preferred
  • Prior experience with IMEs, QMEs, disability determination, or peer review.
  • Familiarity with the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (where applicable).
  • Knowledge of workers’ compensation systems, disability programs, or functional assessment models.
  • Experience preparing medicolegal or administrative reports.
What It Means to Partner With MMRO
  • Flexible scheduling—accept assignments based on your availability.
  • Opportunity to contribute to fair, accurate, and clinically sound determinations.
  • Dedicated support from MMRO’s Panel Health Program, quality assurance teams, and medical leadership.
  • A collaborative environment focused on professionalism, integrity, and continuous improvement.
