Job Openings

Pre-Health Professional Students in Milwaukee, Sussex, and Racine

Elite Medical Scribes, based in Minnesota, is looking for pre-health professional stu-dents and recent graduates to fill medical scribe positions. Being a medical scribe is one of the best ways to gain experience in the medical field. Elite Medical Scribes cur-rently has part-time positions available in Milwaukee, Sussex, and Racine (see at-tached job descriptions and a description of the benefits of being a scribe).

Medical scribes work one-on-one with physicians. This gets them in “the front lines” of medicine and helps them learn a vast amount of medical terminology. They are also able to build personal relationships with physicians, which can lead to great let-ters of recommendation.

Enhancing the Quality of Patient Care

www.EliteMedicalScribes.com

What is a Scribe?

Scribes are individuals trained in medical documentation who assist a physician throughout his or

her shift. They serve as a personal assistant to the doctor to help make them more efficient and

productive. At Elite Medical Scribes, we recruit and train college students and recent graduates who

have an interest in pursuing a career in medicine.

The primary function of a scribe is the creation and maintenance of the patient's medical record,

which is done under the supervision of the attending physician. The scribe will document the

patient's story, the physician's interaction with the patient, the procedures performed, the results

of laboratory studies, and other pertinent information. This is accomplished by using a WOW

(workstation on wheels) that the scribe takes with him or her throughout the shift.

Additional functions of a scribe may include assisting with the patient's disposition, documenting

consultations, and notifying the physician when important studies are completed.

Benefits for Scribes



Step ahead of other medical school applicants



Gain in-depth exposure to clinical medicine



Be a valued member involved with patient care



Perform better in class



Build personal relationships with physicians and other medical professionals



Learn the language of medicine

Scribe Testimonials

"Working as a scribe, I have been awarded the opportunity to better understand physician and patient

interactions, medical terminology, and the skills necessary to be a physician. I am constantly

confronted with challenges, and I cannot think of another opportunity in which an individual who is

not in medical school or practicing medicine would be able to gain as much knowledge, experience,

and interaction in the medical field as scribe does."

Susan Chhen

Scribe Trainer

"Being a scribe is the closest you can get to medicine as a premedical student. The intimate knowledge

you gain of different diagnostic tests and diagnoses gives you a marked head start on other medical

students. An added bonus is the interpersonal relationships and connections you forge in a medical

setting that will benefit you throughout your professional career."

Bryan Gray, Chief Scribe

Adena Regional Medical Center
