Hi all,
I'm looking to enter a scribe position for my gap year, starting in early June 2015 and ending around August 2016 when I enter medical school. I was wondering if anyone could speak from experience and let me know the best time to apply for these positions. I don't want to apply too early and have to tell them I can't start yet. I found this thread already discussing this, but I figured more opinions couldn't hurt. If they accept me, is training something I can do wherever (is it online)? I would be working in my home state, not where I go to school.
On a side note, if a company (like ScribeAmerica) says they have a one year full-time commitment, does that year start when training starts? I would be worried about training taking too long. If I don't actually start until sometime in August, I may not be able to fulfill the entire commitment.
EDIT: If anyone could also list scribe companies they know, that'd help out a lot. My state is not the largest, so I don't think there are too many operating there. So far I know ScribeAmerica and Elite Medical Scribes are and PhysAssist and CEP are not.
Thanks
