Hello, I am looking to becoming a scribe and was wondering if anyone knows of some good programs? I have heard of scribeamerica however some say they are bad while others say they are good.

PhysAssist, Proscribe, Essia Health (but I think they were acquired by ScribeAmerica), Elite Medical Scribes come to mind. It all really depends on whats in your area more than anything. Scribing isn't the most glamorous of jobs, is quite monotonous, pay is no good, and can be tough being on your feet all day. Im pretty sure I'll have chronic neck and back issues because of this job from being hunched over a laptop 50 hours a week for the last 2+ years. That's how it'll be no matter what company you scribe with. But I do find joy in meeting patients, learning about them, learning about their diseases, medications and when to use them, standards of care, etc. So I've at least gained a lot from it and am happy Ive done it.

Don't forget carpal tunnel syndrome.

Scribing is what you make of it. Take advantage of everything that you can. You can get LORs (NECESSARY FOR DO SCHOOLS) and if you work at a big hospital you can definitely get into clinical research on the side with some of the physicians(Nice!).

ScribeAmerica. I worked as a Scribe for ScribeAmerica at an outpatient Neurology clinic and it was the greatest experience. can be difficult, but ABSOLUTELY worth it. You learn so much. For anyone who wants to become a doctor, this should be an incredible experience. Never had so much fun at a job and great on the resume!
