Pros

Working at ScribeAmerica offers an opportunity for aspiring healthcare professionals to gain firsthand clinical experience. As a medical scribe, you shadow physicians, document patient encounters in real time, and become deeply familiar with medical terminology and electronic health records. It’s a powerful stepping stone for those pursuing medical school or other health careers, offering flexible scheduling and unmatched networking potential with practicing clinicians. While the pay is modest and benefits limited, the real value lies in the exposure, skills, and connections you gain.

Cons

I found leadership at ScribeAmerica to be inconsistent and often unsupportive, especially during the COVID period. There was frequent turnover in management, and for months at a time, I didn’t know who my direct supervisor was. When leadership was present, their style leaned heavily toward micromanagement and often felt disorganized. My advice to future scribes: document everything thoroughly and be prepared for unexpected calls from management asking about even minor details.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review. We truly value that this is a great opportunity for those looking to further education by going to Medical School/PA School/etc. This is why being a medical scribe is such a great experience as you really do get to see firsthand how medicine functions, which is something you really can’t get from other jobs or volunteer work. We hope that your time with us has helped prepare you for your next journey in life.
