• Research the relevant condition and fasting/refeeding literature to contextualize each case
• Draft first versions of case reports for internal review and peer‑reviewed submission, CARE‑guidelines aligned
• Help maintain the Foundation's fasting literature database,
• Review and improve existing records: fix metadata, attach PDFs, standardize tagging by condition, protocol, duration, outcomes, and adverse events
• Add new publications with brief structured annotations covering study design, population, protocol, key findings, and limitations

Systems and workflow

• Collaborate with the research team to define and apply consistent database standards: required fields, controlled vocabulary, PDF naming and storage
• Build and maintain a case report pipeline: nomination criteria, tracking system, data‑extraction template, follow‑up checklist, and internal review steps

Qualifications Required

• Clinician (MD/DO/ND/PA/NP/RN/DC) or enrolled in a clinical degree program
