W&A Clinical Gigs That We (and Medical Schools) Love: Medical Scribe

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Medical Scribe: This is one of our favorite types of clinical experience. Working as a scribe allows you to see doctor patient interactions up close; you'll expand your medical vocabulary, read about things touched on in appointments(there's that intellectual curiosity!), and be a valuable part of a medical team. You can scribe at a top hospital or a CityMD clinic. What matters is exposure. Don't just describe the job to the school (they know what it is); share a meaningful story. One client, a head scribe, witnessed a death in the ER. It threw him—and he decided to create a guide for scribing in traumatic situations for the scribes he supervised. We've also had several clients discover a new field of interest through scribe work.
