Comments on: What is an ER Scribe? http://mdjourney.com/what-is-an-er-scribe Thoughts on medicine and life during the medical school journey Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:35:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Adam http://mdjourney.com/what-is-an-er-scribe/comment-page-1#comment-38814 Adam Tue, 27 Sep 2011 22:03:30 +0000 http://premedjourney.com/?p=4#comment-38814 First of all, great article. I'm a scribe myself and this was a clear introduction to the position. Mona and Toma - scribe programs prefer to hear that you somehow plan to be involved in the medical field. Most are pre-med, pre-PA, etc. I'm a nuclear medicine tech that became a scribe while working on my B.S. - there are no specific classes you must have under your belt in order to become a scribe as long as you are seriously considering/actively pursuing a career in the medical realm. If that's the case, your transcript would show it anyway. In terms of money, the writer's description is accurate in my experience. If you're looking for locations, you can find them here: http://www.emscribesystems.com/ - click this link and then the "Locations" tab toward the top right. This is an amazing job to have if you are pursuing a medical career in some capacity, and it is an especially good job if you are a student - the irregular hours and low minimum work requirements (8 shifts per month for us, though I pick up more) allow me to better negotiate both paths - your usual 9-5 job tends to kick everything else out. Hope this has helped and again, great article. First of all, great article. I’m a scribe myself and this was a clear introduction to the position.

Just wanted to ask you if there were specific classes or programs you had to take to qualify as an ER scribe? Also what is a salary of an ER scribe? Hope to hear from you soon. -Mona Hello there!
