I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at ScribeAmerica (New York, NY) in Aug 2016
Interview
Applied and within 2-3 days I received a surprise phone interview, was even asked medical terms without having received the packet. I then was scheduled an in-person interview over email with the Chief Scribe and the Project Leader. I was asked to print multiple pages from a checklist in the email and they did not ask for it at the interview. The interview was ok, I was asked a lot questions regarding past experiences. I was then given an online typing test, as well as a verbal typing test. I wasn't asked any medical terms from the packet this time unfortunately. I still have not heard back from them after 5 days, so according to the other reviews who heard back immediately after the interview, I am assuming I am not receiving an offer.
ScribeAmerica provided excellent training, supportive leadership, and invaluable exposure to clinical medicine. The role sharpened my documentation skills, improved my clinical knowledge, and connected me with inspiring physicians in diverse specialties.
The communication prior to the interview primarily took place through email, which made the process straightforward and easy to follow. The interview itself was conducted virtually, and the interviewers were friendly, professional, and made the experience comfortable.
The interview process included an intuitive pre-recorded video interview as part of the initial application. Responses have multiple submission attempts, and you could watch your video back before submitting. I heard back from a hiring ambassador within 2 days of submitting to confirm my work availability and ability to commute to the proposed site. I received an offer within 1 week of applying. Response time may depend on the site and current needs. After accepting the offer, you will undergo additional steps depending on your site, including but not limited to a background check, e-consent forms, the credentialing process (paperwork, medical testing (UDS + QFT and mask fit), medical terminology exam, onboarding call, ScribeU courses, EHR training, bridge/floor training). Onboarding steps are very clear to follow, prepare you well for the role, and are paid.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What are your long-term career goals, and how will working with ScribeAmerica help you achieve them?
One behavioral interview with a lead scribe who asked about my experiences working with patients and doctors. Although I had none, they still accepted me because of my previous experience in the STEM field and interest to go into medicine.
