Employment Opportunities with ScribeAmerica

ScribeAmerica is a company that hires and trains “Scribes” for Physicians. Our company is currently looking to recruit students to work as Medical Scribes through the University of Michigan Health System in various outpatient specialty clinics. The scribe will work one on one with board certified physicians assisting with documentation for each patient evaluated by the doctor. It is an exceptional opportunity for any student interested in medicine to gain first-hand experience following a physician in an emergency department setting.

The role of a scribe is to closely collaborate with their assigned physician by documenting the history of each patient evaluated, the doctor’s physical examination, the results of laboratory/radiological studies ordered, and the eventual diagnosis and disposition. Becoming a scribe provides the student with first rate exposure to medical terminology, disease processes, emergency procedures, medications, and the medical decision making process performed by physicians.

This job is not for everyone; the complexity of the material and fast-paced environment necessitate that only the sharpest and most motivated students succeed as a scribe. We are looking for dependable and hard working employees that have a desire for an eventual career in medicine, or are interested in learning more about careers in medicine. There are multiple specialties, with most clinic hours being Monday-Friday in the 8am-5pm range, and each shift consists of following a single physician. It is expected that each scribe can commit to 2 shifts per week for at least 2 years or 4 shifts per week for at least 1 year.

Paid classroom & clinical training is provided. The training is extensive and intense. Each employee will have multiple training sessions both in the classroom and with live patients in a clinical setting during which we teach the flow of the clinic, anatomy/physiology, extensive medical terminology, and appropriate medical/legal documentation.

This is a unique and exciting opportunity which has demonstrated itself to be excellent experience for students preparing for careers in medicine. Our past employees that excelled as scribes have gone on to receive outstanding evaluations in their clinical trials and residencies.
