Pros

1. Good Clinical Exposure: being able to see the physician - patient interaction is invaluable for anyone seeking this kind of an experience. 2. Knowledge - gaining the knowledge that you do as a Scribe is beneficial and humbling especially if you're interested in pursuing medical education further. 3. Making friends - many of the other scribes have similar backgrounds and it's nice to have the support system. The team of doctors, nurses etc. is welcoming to the scribes.

Cons

** The company does not have an effective training program: - trainers are often not qualified to train. Just because someone is good at a job does not necessarily qualify them to be able to teach that job. Teaching is a skill and "effective" teaching is honestly a gift. ** Warning for anyone interested in the job: - The job is great but the training program is significantly flawed. So be adamant to learn in whatever way works for you. Be confident in your capabilities and just be cognizant about feedback from trainers that is baseless. Contradictory to what some might tell you, the job is not rocket science! It is very straightforward and gets easier the longer you do it. Also be aware that the company has the right to dismiss you at any point.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review. Welcome to the ScribeAmerica team! We are so glad to hear you are having a great experience with us so far, and we are very excited to help you prepare for whatever your future career goals are. As a reminder, we do offer a referral bonus for anybody you refer to work with ScribeAmerica, so please talk with your manager to get all the details on that. We also do like to promote from within and a large portion of our higher level management/corporate roles/etc all started out as scribes themselves. If you ever have an interest in learning more about other roles that would be available to you, or ways to prepare to apply to those types of roles, please feel free to reach out to tasupport@scribeamerica.com and we would be happy to talk with you further.
