Pros

As a pre-medical student, working as a medical scribe is some of the greatest experience you can get. You get to work closely with doctors, actively help them by reducing their workload, build relationships, and secure valuable letters of recommendation. You also get to learn the terminology, process, and thinking behind medical decision making. Every day is a learning experience in this job!

Cons

Hours can vary, so you are rarely on a set schedule. Working overnights isn't fun, but as a future PA/Physician/allied healthcare professional, that should be something you would expect to do at some point anyway. Pay is a bit low as well, and the initial training period is very intensive with a high attrition rate.

Pros

Looks good on a resume.

Cons

Low pay and poor training. I did like three days of shadowing only, was only exposed to Cerner twice with very little time to explore. My trainer said my HPI’s were good… but then I got an email from the Chief Scribe saying I am missing too much, so I was pretty confused there. I’m with a different doctor every time, right out of the gate. Also, I only applied for one location, and was then assigned to four.
