What is a medical scribe?

Today, the term Medical Scribe is almost a misnomer. We think of our medical scribes as Care Team Assistants.

From performing documentation in the EHR, gathering information for the patient's visit, and partnering with the physician to deliver efficient patient care, no two days will look the same.

For someone interested in medicine, whether it is a personal interest, or part of a career goal, the chance to become a medical scribe is unlike any other opportunity available. Through exciting one-on-one collaboration with providers, you'll have an unprecedented level of exposure to real medicine in practice.
