Medical Assistant vs Scribe

In my time working in a neurology clinic, I did the role of a scribe with some additional roles of a MA like taking vitals if necessary, room preparation, prior authorization and ordering medication.

in essence I did whatever I was asked to do by the doctor, but I did not do EEGs and I usually did not make any phone calls (receptionist job). Is it embellishment to call it Medical Assistant on my application instead of Medical Scribe?

What job description did you get hired under? What are your responsibilities? Use that title.

yes.

Give the name of the role you were hired to do, then in the activity description state your actual responsibilities.
