Medical Scribe

Hello everyone :)

I have a phone interview tomorrow for a medical scribe position. Just want to know if anyone has experience in this position. I have read good and bad things about it but would like to hear experienced directly from individuals on here about it. This is just a very open ended post, I'd love to hear anything that you can say about it.

A little background about me: I am pursuing my ADN at a community college, I am currently in pre nursing, recently finished a CNA course, am a feeding assistant/activity aide and I am pretty familiar with medical terminology.

    I worked as a scribe for ophthalmologists before becoming a nurse. It was kinda fun because you get to learn details you would not know otherwise. You need access to a medical dictionary and good spellcheck. The one on Windows does not recognize a lot of medical terms.The frustration lies in understanding dialects and accents, but eventually that comes. I continued to work for one MD after I got into nursing. I would do work on my off days. I also edited his publications for spelling and grammatical errors. It was interesting

    That's really neat! How is the pay for the industry? Is it decent or closer to minimum wage?

    In my area the job is $10-$15/hr depending on candidate background

    Well even the low end isn't bad. Did you go through a company or just apply directly with the clinic?
