-: Any track, anyone can be a medical scribe.
I would say that because of the way it's structured,
if you're pre-med or pre-PA,
if you want exposure to healthcare,
this would be the way to do it.
Because not only do you get to see what it's like
to be in a busy ER and part of the team,
but you also get to have that one-on-one
experience with a provider every single day.
You want someone that is adaptable.
Your shift, it could be really slow or it can explode,
and you can see 10 people check in all at once,
so you have to be ready to work, and get ready to move.
You want people that are adaptable,
people who are really detail-oriented,
people who are proactive.
You want someone that's working
without having to be told that they have to be working.
For me, because I'd just got into medical school,
a lot of scribes leave in May
to get ready to go on to medical school,
so they have a really, a push to recruit in May,
when current scribes are leaving,
and we have about 200 scribes currently,
and so we're always recruiting,
'cause people are always going on
to what's next, and moving on.
