Pros

Clinical exposure, Great experience for those wanting to become Doctors.

Cons

Minimum Wage Pay for Incredibly Hard Work. No breaks. Rarely get lunches. No overtime pay. No health benefits. No vacation/sick pay even for full time employees. No night shift differential. Scribes make minimum wage and chief scribes make only a few more dollars. Project Leaders (one step above chief scribes) make 6 digits WITH bonuses. They make more money when their sites are profiting so don't plan on getting a raise. No support from management.

Scribes at ScribeAmerica currently receive an increased wage once they pass through our training protocol and have developed the skills necessary to work one-on-one with a provider. ScribeAmerica provides a cost of living wage increase annually for employees who have worked at the company for a pre-determined length of time, and additional raises are based on performance and promotions to positions with greater responsibility. ScribeAmerica provides opportunities for breaks and meal periods, and pays overtime wages in accordance with applicable federal or state law. While ScribeAmerica does not disclose the wages of its employees or management, our Project Leader career path is compensated at based on the fact that the position requires constant nationwide travel. Working as a scribe can be very challenging, but enormously rewarding for the right person.

As a reminder, we do offer a referral bonus for anybody you refer to work with ScribeAmerica, so please talk with your manager to get all the details on that. We also do like to promote from within and a large portion of our higher level management/corporate roles/etc all started out as scribes themselves. If you ever have an interest in learning more about other roles that would be available to you, or ways to prepare to apply to those types of roles, please feel free to reach out to tasupport@scribeamerica.com and we would be happy to talk with you further.
