MEDICAL SCRIBE

As a medical scribe, my daily responsibilities involve following a physician throughout the entirety of their shift and effectively and efficiently writing all their charts and notes for them. This requires close listening, fast responses, and a general understanding of medical and pharmaceutical terminology. Throughout the past year, not only has my typing speed improved, but I have been able to experience anything and everything that comes into the ER ranging from a stubbed toe to someone in cardiac arrest. This position has allowed me to see emergency medicine firsthand and has secured my love and interest in becoming a physician.

Being a medical scribe has done more than solidify my desire to be a physician, it has opened my eyes to the field of medicine in its entirety. Working in the emergency room, each day is full of unknowns and all kinds of different people. On a given day, we will encounter patients of all socioeconomic statuses, backgrounds, and ethnicities; treating each equally. I feel so fortunate to have had this experience to witness these patient interactions firsthand and learn the communication styles and tactics of each of the attendings I have the pleasure of working with. The often fast-paced environment has shown me that medicine stops for nothing, not even a global pandemic. This experience has inspired me to continue my pursuit of a career in medicine but also has shown me effective ways to communicate with patients. During downtime, I have had many opportunities to pick the brains of the physicians I work for and learn about their path to medicine and learn their style of treating patients. I know this job has prepared me for treating patients from all backgrounds in the future, as well as the importance of treating everyone I encounter with patience and respect, and that all patients deserve to be taken seriously and treated accordingly.
