Vantaggi
The best clinical experience you can get if seeking admission into medical or PA school. Anyone can take vitals or room patients, but walking through a provider's medical decision making for every patient you see in a high acuity setting is not something everyone can do. Most importantly this experience is paid... most people would have to volunteer time just to even get a fraction of the experience you would get as a scribe with SA. Very high learning curve. You must be willing to study hard during training and also be able to apply it when working clinically. Not everyone makes it through training. (just like not everyone makes it into medical school or gets into a good residency program)
Svantaggi
Pay is on the low end. Hours can be long.
