Job requirements


This position is reserved for those who are motivated, dependable, flexible and committed to a career in medicine. It is a challenging job, and we are very careful in our selection process. We only hire those planning to attend medical school.

The most important factor we take into consideration during the hiring process is character. A Scribe must be able to work in a team-based environment under stressful conditions, have an upbeat attitude at all times, a willingness to be challenged, a hunger to achieve, and the ability to work well with others. You will encounter patients from all walks of life here, and a non-judgmental attitude is essential.


There are 2 available tracks for scribes:

Full-time: This is designed for college graduates who have a year or two off before medical school. FT Scribes must work a minimum of 18 shifts each month (4-5 shifts per week) with a minimum commitment of one year.

Part-time: This is designed for current college students. PT Scribes must work at least 8 shifts each month (2 shifts per week) with a 2-year commitment.


Shifts:

Shifts last an average of 8 hours. There is a balance of days, evenings, nights and weekends. Students are never scheduled to work during class time or exams. Schedules are made by the scribes, and there is a great amount of flexibility. Click here to see a sample schedule.


Training:

While this job may sound overwhelming, our scribes have been extremely successful. We devote tremendous resources to train each scribe in a paid, intensive training program that lasts a few weeks. You are not expected to work on your own until you are ready.
