What looks better ED scribe or private practice scribe

[warmsoup]

What looks better to med schools, scribing in the ED, or private practice (ortho/ ophthalmic). I’m indifferent about each specialty but would get paid more for private practice. These are the only options for clinical paid experience in my area.

I'd say ED by a slight amount, but scribing in private practice is not "bad." We all gotta pay the bills. I'd say that if you take that job then you should find some way to get some sort of primary care exposure either through volunteering or shadowing.

I would not see one as being better than the other. Private Practice can be primary care or not. Doesn't matter.

ED over ortho any day, but any primary care is better than both.
