"Scribing is the ultimate
clinical experience that you
can get before medical school."
Your healthcare journey starts here.
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Becoming a medical scribe is widely regarded as a practical first step on your journey towards a lasting career in healthcare. The role of a medical scribe has evolved beyond a medical documentation assistant.

Today, medical scribes work elbow-to-elbow with providers, working on a wide array of projects to deliver critical ancillary support. With unparalleled access to healthcare’s front lines, you’ll hone important leadership skills to prepare you for the future.

What is a medical scribe?


Today, the term Medical Scribe is almost a misnomer. We think of our medical scribes as Care Team Assistants. If you're interested in gaining clinical experience in preparation for medical, nursing, or PA school, become a medical scribe and gain access to leading healthcare professionals. 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.
