aadiep11 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 It helps to have experience as a scribe in a hospital because they train you, but it's not necessary. Typically you just need some medical terminology background. Anatomy is helpful too. I started in an ER and transitioned into a primary care office and love it. I learned so much.

I use to scribe and have considered doing it again, but wasn't sure if it would be worth it if most schools didn't count the hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work kind of as an assistant to the doctor I work for, so I do things scribes typically don't like interpret labs, assist with procedures and exams.

bdavila Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Scribe is not direct patient care but the experience is pretty much shadowing. the experience and networking is worth it for me and I can't imagine that the programs don't count it for something. I was an EMT for 5 years and though I loved it, don't want to go back to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrgilpatrick Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 If you want to make the drive to UCLA in Torrance. They have a program. Rad em. I think it really helped me get accepted this year. Also I went through an essay writer who helped me write my essay. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
