    What is a medical scribe?

    ​​​​​​​A medical scribe will follow a licensed healthcare provider (physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, etc) throughout their shift, documenting the patient encounter from start to finish. This includes the patient’s story, physical exam, lab and imaging results, consults, updates…all the way to the disposition and diagnoses.

By offering a competitive wage and unique medical experience, a job at ScribeAmerica is very appealing to local pre-medical college students and recent graduates as well.
    What training does ScribeAmerica provide and how long does it last? Our training is broken into two components: Online and In-Person. Candidates must attend online training and pass quizzes to be eligible to continue onto the In-Person training.

    During In-Person, candidates will meet with their onsite manager for classroom training to review site expectations, learn the medical record, and hospital flow. Once this is complete, candidates will schedule 8 training shifts on the group with a provider and trainer. An evaluation of their performance will be completed after each shift, to determine their performance, before they are eligible to continue with the company.

    The whole training process takes approximately 4-6 weeks and depends on your availability, class availability, trainer availability, and shift availability.
    Are there opportunities for advancement or leadership positions and can I do this long term? After 90 days of work, a scribe is eligible for leadership opportunities. While most scribes move on to fulfill other professional goals in healthcare, many scribes have found that the experience and income received justifies choosing becoming a medical scribe as a career.

    These individuals can become, but not limited to: chief scribe; trainer, scribe ambassador, or transition into a corporate role. Individuals can become chief scribes within their department, then project leaders and regional managers often earning annual compensation packages starting at $75,000+.
