Pros

Minimal Familiarity with medicine. Good handbook.

Cons

I was hired and fired. They said I worked too slow and expected me expert fast. Supervisor yelled at me for wanting to get a coffee after a couple hours. Wanted pump out work fast which allowed no learning. Inconsistent expectations of my two trainers allowed me to err and get fired. No time look stuff up. Made me feel dumb. Crap pay. No benefits. Nerdy uniforms. Sorry my bad English-on smart phone and being brief.

-ScribeAmerica has high standards for its employees. It would be a disservice to both the employee and our clients if we allowed employees to pass through training without meeting minimum competencies including speed, accuracy, and efficiency. -The medical scribe industry exists to help medical providers be more efficient and accurate with medical charting, so our scribes must attain standards that contribute to that goal. ScribeAmerica is steadfast in its position that success as a scribe trainee is directly related to the time, effort, and study the employee undertakes during training. Not every applicant or employee is willing to put in the necessary training effort and study, but those that do so will have a very rewarding and unmatched experience. -ScribeAmerica, like every employer, encourages employees to take breaks at the appropriate times based on the needs of the training session and/or the needs of the client.

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.
