I was accepted into a scribe position several weeks ago and have been completing the prerequisite online training. This week a unique opportunity presented itself when I was offered a position as the special assistant to the vice president of a major administrative department at my university. I am quickly trying to evaluate both options so that I can make a decision. I would appreciate any and all input!
The scribe position would obviously provide me with additional clinical experience, but I feel like the assistant position would allow me to stand out more on my application. I would have the opportunity to sit in on meetings with the deans and upper administration of my university. Although some of my responsibilities would be secretarial, I think the networking opportunities would be very valuable.
The scribe position pays minimum wage ($8/hr), while the assistant position pays 48K+/year. It's hard not to immediately take the assistant position so that I can save up money. I just don't want to pass up valuable clinical experience if this position does not sounds like something that would be valuable on my application.
Please let me know what you think! Thank you.
