Should I even change jobs? My plan has always been to be a scribe my freshman and sophomore year and an ER tech my junior year. But I really like my scribing job. I am learning a lot about the EHR, patient interactions, notes, and lots of other subtle things that you can’t really learn from just shadowing or any other clinical experience. I also have a guaranteed strong LOR (the physician is very supportive of premeds and we get along very well).
What advantages can being an ER tech give? I heard from an applicant at my undergrad that their ER tech job was brought up at most interviews but no one brought up their scribing job. Is their experience common? Is ER Tech really regarded as more impressive and eye-catching then scribing?
Should I just do the best of both worlds, and become an ER scribe?
