Vantaggi
If you're interested in being a doctor, PA, or a nurse this is one of the best jobs you could ever have. With time you'll learn disease trends and the process of determining a diagnosis. You'll learn what lab values are normal/abnormal. If you work with really great physicians you'll even gain a basic understanding of reading chest X-rays. This job gives you the ability of building a relationship with a provider/providers so that when you apply to med school, PA school, etc... You won't have to worry about finding someone to write your letters or recommendation
Svantaggi
Absolutely awful pay. I've been with them for 1 year and making 10/hr. Scribes should be able to qualify for raises based on the quality of their charts, experience, etc... Being a scribe can be very stressful especially when you have a high patient load. I believe once you been a scribe for 6+ months you should be a making a minimum of 12/Hr. Sometimes you can go hours upon hours without eating, since some doctors don't take breaks.
