What is a Scribe?
Ideally, a pre-medical student (or student interested in pursuing a career within medicine) who works side by side with providers enabling them to maximize efficiency and as a result allow delivery of premier patient service.
Alongside the provider, a scribe works amid busy trauma/medical codes & procedures, taking care of the central valley’s sickest patients. Needless to say our scribes see everything emergency medicine has to offer.
Not only do scribes function as a provider’s “right hand” person, their on-the-fly personal assistant, but they also engage in ongoing clinical research contributing to publications within the medical literature, and are involved with departmental extracurricular activities.
