Vantaggi
It is good experience, helped me to be more confident around doctors and understand the healthcare system.
Svantaggi
A horribly managed company. I worked in upper management, managing a team of 30 scribes and starting new projects. Managers above me would make decisions that would effect my team, like pay cuts, and not involve me, leaving me to deal with angry employees and having no idea why they were angry. Handed down a pay cut to me too that will go into effect on Christmas day. A horribly tone deaf company that makes bad decisions. Will give you as much work as possible to see how far they can push you. Cuts pay of lowest level employees, but I'm sure all the executives at the headquarters in Florida still have very nice golf memberships. They are even getting rid of in-person interviews in favor of interviews via Skype. Terrible decisions all around that will drive out a lot of employees, leaving a power vacuum and a bunch of people that have no idea what they are doing. Look elsewhere for gap year opportunities
