What I liked

Flexible hours and opportunity to gain medical experience.

What I wish was different

More hours during the summertime and fewer hours during the school year.

Advice

Apply early (as a sophomore or freshman) and get the most out of the job by asking to go to rooms with physicians and observing as much as you can. When you form a relationship with your physician, they are more likely to write you recommendation letters for PA or medical school.

What I liked

Schedules are flexible and they work with your school schedule. Managers are very understanding about days you may need off and help you find coverage for shifts. You get discounts on grad school test prep. You get hands on experience working with medical records and get to work alongside physicians and med students and they love to give advice. You learn something new every single day (terminology, different diseases, medications, lab orders/why physicians prescribe them). You learn about the doctor/patient relationship and how to handle conflicts.

What I wish was different

N/A

Advice

Make the most of your time as a scribe, get to know the physicians you work with, ask if you can cross train to learn about different specialties, and ask your coworkers, trainers, and the physicians you work with a lot of questions, it's a great learning experience! Get to know the physicians you work with as they can write you letters of recommendation for med school, PA school, nursing school, etc.
