Pros

Great for the Pre-med student Exposure to medicine in real-time Possibility of LOR from a Physician

Cons

The hours are tiring Scheduling and taking time off is sometimes difficult Starts at $8, goes up to $10. Room to get more if you decide to become a trainer or Junior Leader. No feasible while in school....

ScribeAmerica requires its employees to work a certain number of shifts per week in order to meet the needs of the facility we staff and maintain employment, but ScribeAmerica attempts to work around employee school schedules to the extent it is possible. Because we work as a medical provider's electronic documentation assistant, our shift times mirror those of the provider and can sometimes be long or at night given that medicine is a 24 hour per day, 7 day per week industry. For those employees truly interested in a career in medicine, the position of scribe can be a very real glimpse into the realities of healthcare.

Pros

Looks good on a resume.

Cons

Low pay and poor training. I did like three days of shadowing only, was only exposed to Cerner twice with very little time to explore. My trainer said my HPI’s were good… but then I got an email from the Chief Scribe saying I am missing too much, so I was pretty confused there. I’m with a different doctor every time, right out of the gate. Also, I only applied for one location, and was then assigned to four.
