Not bad - Medical Scribe Essia Health Employee Review

- good exposure to the field of medicine - good preparation for medical school - shift request system is intuitive and easy to use - coworkers and upper management very supportive

- steep learning curve, can be difficult for the first month

As a medical scribe, you will gain valuable insight into the medical field. If you are disciplined, eager, and have an open schedule the doctors with LOVE you! It can be a very exciting job if you keep a good attitude and build rapport with the medical staff. After a few months on the job, you will definitely know if you are cut out to be a physician.

As a medical scribe, you will need to commit to one year. In the emergency department setting, you have to be willing to work nights, weekends, and holidays. The pay is not great, but the experience is rewarding in itself. In the clinical setting, you need to be available to work day shifts. If you have a heavy course load at school or limited availability for any reason - this job is not for you.
