A medical scribe will also collect and organize data, take dictation, schedule appointments and perform other clerical tasks.
The scribe has many other duties as well which include – but are not limited to – recording, entering and maintaining information in EHR or electronic health records. The medical scribe is a medical paraprofessional responsible for facilitating documentation related to doctor-patient interactions. Upon completion of each course students will become a certified medical scribe and receive a certificate of completion. The medical scribe training courses offered through Medical Scribe Training Institute include a general medical scribe training course and several specialty training courses like Emergency Medicine, Family Medicine and Urgent Care. Several online courses are available and are taught by current and former scribes, physicians and other healthcare providers.
