Becoming a Scribe?

[Vici]

Hey Everyone!

How's it going? Hopefully well!

I recently Joined this site. I am a sophomore who recently changed to a Bio major with a pre-med concentration.

As I was scanning the site for Job opportunities for pre-med students, I kept coming across "Scribe"

Can someone explain to me what is required to be a Scribe? Can I work around my school schedule? How does one go about becoming a Scribe?

Bonus: Any stories???

It's a great career to get involved in the medical process. One of the great things is that many companies know that students use it as a stepping stool to get into a profession program so it's great to have that behind you.

Please use the "search" function, there have been many threads and responses detailing the job description, comparison to other low barrier-to-entry medical jobs such as EMT or medical tech, balancing with school, etc.

Kidney stones are not fun. Drink lots of water.

Hey man! I'm a Chief Scribe in an ED via Scribe America. Any questions, feel free to PM me.

I am a scribe with the company eScribe in the ED as well. It is great experience, especially if you are interested in emergency medicine. I am able to be in the exam rooms with the physicians while they go over the stories, pertinent positives and negatives, and see them perform the physical exams. After the room visits the physicians tell me their exam findings and I fill out their charts for them so they can focus on being a physician rather than a typist.
