Pros

* Unparalleled patient care experience working closely with healthcare providers that you can't get anywhere else without a certification. * This job is very flexible and accommodating of your school schedule * Learn a lot when it comes to medical terminology, patient care, EMR * Great way to get letters of recommendation and establish professional

Cons

Since starting with ProScribe there has always been a very apparent disconnect between management and their employees. There is very little communication between the two and very few opportunities for advancement. At most, you can be promoted from a medical scribe to a trainer to a site coordinator, but the pay increase between all three is very minimal and not really worth it. Trainers do not get a permanent pay raise, which they absolutely should for their hard work and dedication. Instead, they only get a rate increase per hour when they are actually training a scribe. Scribes are underpaid for their work whether they are in the clinic or in the ER in comparison to other scribe companies in the area. Even trainers are paid less than medical scribes of other companies. The result is medical scribes, trainers, and site coordinators who feel very undervalued and underappreciated for their hard work and dedication to the company. How is it fair that a medical scribe with one year of experience gets paid the same as a medical scribe with one month of experience? At this time the only true opportunity for a pay raise is to be promoted to site coordinator, but there needs to be some kind of incentive to continue working for the company aside from just enduring the low pay in order to rack up more hours for med school/PA school. We get very few opportunities to be social or network with other scribes and management unless we have mandatory staff meetings which are a pain to attend. It seems pretty obvious that ProScribe considers the experience we get as scribes to be fair compensation for low wages, which is untrue, especially given that many scribes are college graduates who need to make ends meet. If you want your scribes to dedicate more hours to this job and provide more coverage (which is always desperately needed due to the high turnover rate), pay them better otherwise they will dedicate more of their time to other jobs with higher pay.

Thank you for your constructive feedback. We are currently making changes within the organization to improve turnover by restructuring pay rates and benefits for our Scribes, Site Coordinators, and Travel Trainers. Additionally, we recently organized a local volunteer opportunity in an effort for our scribes and corporate employees to give back to the community and get to know one another. We will continue to make advancement, volunteer, and networking opportunities a priority within ProScibe and announce those initiatives in our monthly newsletters. Thank you again for your feedback and we welcome additional suggestions on how we can improve at careers@proscribemd.com.

Pros

I love my patients and doctors but you experience this outside of Proscribe

Cons

Proscibe is a scam. I have been employed here for over a year, and I can tell you that I regret it! Like everyone else, I am applying to medical school and I thought that it would be a good opportunity. PLEASE take my advice when I tell you that there are way better opportunities you can become involved with, that you will NOT regret. They do not offer any PTO, (although they say they do, you basically accrue 2 HOURS a month!) No benefits and they make sure that the cost of doing business is paid for by THE SCRIBE! (That would be you!) If you work in person, you have to pay for your own uniform that you MUST get from them. But it's nonrefundable and you're stuck with it after you leave. They make you pay for any training certifications that they require you to have and ultimately they have a contract that you have to reimburse THEM for the cost of training you for the job they hired you to do. ($250 if you're part time and $500 if you're full time, and they ONLY pay you minimum wage during the month long training, and if they have any company meetings, they will only pay you minimum wage for the time you are forced to spend in meetings) And if you try to leave to go work with someone else, think again, because they also make you sign a contract that you won't work for any of their competitors or at any of the hospitals/clinics they have worked with. And they will pay you PENNIES! You will get $9 per hour part time, $10 per hour full time while they make more than $16 an hour off the work that you do. The work is A LOT! No one that I have worked with for the last 1.5 years has felt they were paid nearly enough for the amount of work and stress they are expected to deal with, with this job. Last but not least, is the management that is immensely unorganized and inconsistent. It's a train wreck. They don't effectively communicate or even know what's going on and will have tell you changes last minute or not at all, and you'll have to find them out yourself. Do yourself a favor and don't fall for their scam!

Pros

Working along side physicians and learning medicine. You'll receive a ton of experience and possible letters of recommendation.

Cons

The company itself will abandon you the moment they get. You are taken advantage of and if you are scheduled wrong, you're on your own to figure it out. You have a tremendous amount of responsibility with very long hours, making roughly $8/hr. I suggest only staying until the 6 month contract is finished.
