We are looking for a detail-oriented and highly organized Medical Scribe to join our healthcare team. As a Medical Scribe, you will work closely with physicians and other healthcare providers to document patient encounters in real-time, ensuring accurate and timely medical records. This role is essential in improving the efficiency and quality of patient care by allowing providers to focus more on clinical tasks while you handle the documentation.
Your primary responsibility will be to accompany physicians during patient visits, either in person or virtually, and accurately transcribe the details of the encounter into the electronic health record (EHR) system. This includes documenting patient history, physical exams, diagnostic test results, treatment plans, and follow-up instructions. You will also assist in retrieving patient medical records, lab results, and other relevant information to support clinical decision-making.
The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of medical terminology, excellent typing and listening skills, and the ability to work in a fast-paced environment. Prior experience in a healthcare setting or as a scribe is preferred but not required. Training will be provided to ensure you are well-prepared to support our medical staff effectively.
This position is ideal for pre-med students, recent graduates, or individuals interested in pursuing a career in healthcare. It offers valuable exposure to clinical practices and the opportunity to work alongside experienced medical professionals.
Key attributes for success in this role include discretion, professionalism, attention to detail, and a commitment to maintaining patient confidentiality. You must be comfortable using technology and able to adapt to different EHR systems.
If you are passionate about healthcare and want to make a meaningful impact by supporting medical providers and improving patient care, we encourage you to apply for this rewarding position.
