scribing

I’ve read comments where adcoms say they’re looking for patient interaction and an informed decision (to apply to medical school) from applicants. The thing is, I’m not sure either job fulfills the requirements for patient care. I work with elderly clients at their private homes through a...

We are looking for someone to serve as a full-time medical scribe in a physician-owned urology practice in Tampa, FL. The scribe would mostly work in the Riverview/Brandon area and would be working with a single MD. Opportunities exist to shadow the MD in the surgery center if desired. Here is...

{REMOVED}

Hi all. So I applied to 10 schools, all allopathic, during the 2017-2018 cycle. I got 2 interviews, which both resulted in waitlists and ultimately rejections. I am taking a year off and trying to improve my application, but need help deciding what to do during the upcoming year. Here was my...

To preface this, I've worked in various jobs when I was teenager where, now that I look back, I realize I was the subject of undisputed sexual harassment by male superiors. I shrugged it off and did nothing. My point: I'm not trying to cry wolf. I just want genuine feedback regarding a confusing...

Hello! I am trying to prepare everything possible and was wondering if DO schools accept letters of recommendation from doctors of podiatry. I have been scribing for about a year and one of the physicians I worked with was a DPM who could give me a glowing recommendation. I was also wondering...

Hi! I just graduated in December 2017 with a B.S. in biology, B.A. in Spanish, and a minor in chemistry. My overall GPA is a 3.33 and my science GPA is a 3.04. I have an interesting trend because I started out okay my freshman year (3.5ish). My sophomore year I was sexually assaulted, which as...

Hi all! So I've recently been accepted to my top choice school, and now I have about 6 months left of my glide year. So here's my predicament-- I started working as a medical scribe in November, but was just contacted recently about a research internship position. I had applied for this...

So I've done >1 year of scribing and I was wondering if I should tell the physician I work w/ that I'm leaving a week before my last day or ON the last day? This doctor wrote my LOR and I would say we're not best pals but we're close enough that he jokes around w/ me. Just want to know the...

I just started a medical scribing job for my gap year but I'm not sure how helpful it will be. I started the job after I already submitted all of my secondaries so I feel it'll only help if it's brought up during interviews. I'm also not sure if it's as helpful as volunteering in the hospital...

I graduated in May with a biology degree with a stellar GPA and MCAT score. I applied last year and didn't get in anywhere. I got feedback from UW telling me that I was lacking in volunteer hours (~70-80) and needed a better understanding of a medical team. I am currently working full-time at...

I just started a scribing position and will continue it throughout the year. Should I include this as a separate activity, or should I just include it in "Other clinical activities"?

Hello all, I have been offered two positions as a medical scribe at two different settings. One is an outpatient clinic with mainly primary care physicians and other various specialties. The other is an ER at a nearby hospital. I'd like some input into what would be the best opportunity to...

I just started volunteering at a Free Clinic in my area and I wanted to know how would this look on med school applications. At the clinic I am medical assistant ( take bp manually, height, weight, ekgs, ask simple questions such as " are you in any pain,etc...) and I also scribe for the doctors...

Hi everyone, I'm currently 2.5 weeks away from my scheduled test date (which I am strongly considering moving to a later date in March) but I am having an immense amount of trouble improving my score. I have no problem when it comes to the actual content we need to know in all 3 science...

Hello Physicians and Future Physicians, First some background regarding my situation right now so you can better answer my question and/or vote in my poll (although, I would really apprecite if you stated the reason for voting the way you did): Just graduated from the University of Notre Dame...

Hello everyone! I think this is my first posting in a long time, so please excuse if this is in the wrong place. I recently graduated from UT Austin (well, one online class left, will be finished in a week or two, but basically graduated). I've received an offer from a job in Washington D.C...

I'm not sure if I will have time to scribe with PhysAssist this coming year. I'm also volunteering with a hospice program, attending premed honors society meetings, assistant directing an a cappella group, and helping lead worship at my church. Does anyone who has experience scribing with this...

I am currently a senior and I will be taking 2 gap years after I graduate in May. However, I was just offered a pediatric scribe position beginning in January. This is a perfect opportunity for me because I intend to go into pediatrics and what better way to make sure I want to do this than to...

I would really like to be a part-time medical scribe, but both PhysAssist and ScribeAmerica (the two companies I have looked into so far) have 8-10 hour shifts and don't seem very flexible. Currently I am taking 4 science classes and am in a research lab, with hospital volunteering on weekends...

I just got offered a scribe position, 24-36 hours a week. The pay and the hours are pretty bad, and I'll have to work some weekends and holidays. I'd also have to scale back on my current part-time jobs, one of which is really fun and one of which pays really well. I've already been accepted to...
