For examiners
Join our examiner network
Referrals arrive in the examiner portal with sorted records and the questions beside the draft. You set availability. The coordination team handles records, scheduling, and review. Apply at /examiners/apply.
The problem
The medicine is the small part of the day
The referral arrives as an email with a PDF bundle. Records are unsorted. The questions sit in a covering letter. You write the report in a word processor, send it back, and wait to be paid.
- Records arrive unsorted and duplicated.
- You cannot tell which pages are new.
- The questions are buried in a covering letter.
- You rebuild the same report skeleton every time.
- Payment terms are unclear and slow.
What changes
What IMECore does about it
Referrals arrive in one place
The examiner portal carries the referral questions and the sorted records on the case. Nothing arrives as an email attachment.
You set availability
Share clinic days, travel, and report-writing days with your coordinator. Bookings are planned against that calendar, and you update it when it changes.
The coordination team handles the rest
Records are collected, sorted, and deduplicated. Scheduling, interpreters, transport, and chaperones are arranged against your availability. You work in the portal.
The questions stay in view
The instructing questions sit beside the draft. A named reviewer checks each has an answer before the report is released.
You examine from your own practice
IMECore leases no examining rooms. You see the examinee at your clinic, or by video where the assessment allows it, and you sign the report.
Pay on the terms you agreed
Per assessment, on the terms in your examiner agreement before the first referral. The fee and the payment status sit on the case from the day it is assigned.

FAQ
Questions people ask
How do I join the examiner panel?
Apply at /examiners/apply with your credentials, services, availability, and references. You can also write through the contact page. We review every application and reply.
How do referrals reach me?
Through the examiner portal. The referral questions and the sorted records arrive on the case for your review before anything is booked. Nothing arrives as an email attachment.
How do I set my availability?
Share your availability with your coordinator and bookings are planned against it. Update it when clinics, travel, or report-writing days change.
How am I paid?
Per assessment, on the terms agreed in your examiner agreement before the first referral. No figure is quoted here. The agreement states the rates and the payment timing.
Who handles records and scheduling?
The coordination team. Records arrive collected, sorted, and deduplicated, and scheduling runs against your availability. Work inside the portal: examiner agreements require it, so no records go over personal email.
Who reviews my report before it goes out?
A named reviewer checks every report before release: each referral question answered, the opinion reasoned, and citations pointing at the records. Nothing is released without sign-off.
