Pros

Great opportunity to receive clinical experience.

Cons

Pay was near nothing for the amount of stress that the work environment puts you though. Also, many hospitals are terminating their contracts with Scribe America now, because they are realizing how economically unsound contracting through a company like this can be. I worked at two different hospitals as a scribe under scribe america and at both of them, the scribe programs got terminated. Management did a poor job at communicating this and at each hospital it took me over 3 months to begin working, with little communication regarding what was happening. After the second time this happened, I chose to leave the company rather than sit around and wait for this to happen again.

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.
