Vantaggi
Access to valuable knowledge that can only be gained by interacting, observing, and working with/for a physician. Learning how the medical field really works firsthand.
Svantaggi
Training - it is terrible, disorganized, very short, and not thorough enough for different types of scribing jobs, since the workbook is only set up to cover the ER scribe's job. Management - they are overworked and not trained well themselves. Managers at my location had no experience with the particular EMR, which made it more difficult. Managers also were degrading and were consistently late to everything, very unprofessional. It is a stressful job all around, and with the horribly poor pay, it makes it not worth it unless you are desperate. The doctors will take their stress out on you, and if they are unorganized, it makes your job even harder. The company offers no benefits whatsoever (besides an optional 30 minute lunch) to scribes, full time or not.
