![]() Good luck! Feel free to PM me - I worked in the upper management of one of the top scribe companies for a couple of years prior to PA school.It’s entirely possible, maybe even likely, that during some slow day at the lab early in her career, Jennifer Doudna, in a moment of private ambition, daydreamed about making a breakthrough that could change the world. They want to see how you work under pressure so sometimes they'll grill you to see if you can handle it and roll with the punches. I know it's easier said then done, but relax. I agree with the above posts about setting a vague timeline on when you're going to apply, the training process is pretty expensive so they want to keep you around as long as possible (working as many shifts as possible). the ER can get pretty crazy and if you're not interested in medicine you won't survive. The interviewers also want to make sure that the medical field is your "passion". typically no hands on contact with the patient, work holidays/nights) and how flexible they are with the schedule. When I interviewed people I wanted to see how much they knew about what the scribe job entails (i.e. At the interview they want to make sure you are sociable but professional, as you have to be a part of the "ED team" and communicate regularly with the medical staff while still getting your work done. At the beginning they'll take just about anyone, but more established sites are extremely hard to get into. I used to be one of the people conducting the interviews and the intensity of the interview is pretty proportional to how long the site has been established. I'm certainly not knocking the scribe profession, but you'd hate to find out what you thought was HCE doesn't count at the program you're interested in. Scribe is considered HCE at some places, and others won't touch your application if that's the only experience you have. My two cents to you would be to make sure the program(s) of your choice accept scribe as HCE. He/she has a position to fill and is looking for someone who will make everyone's life a bit easier. It's understood most scribes aren't doing it for a career, but the interviewer is not interested in your future plans. If asked about your future plans I'd say something like "I'm interested in a medical professional program later on down the road, but for now I really want to experience what it's like to work with a healthcare team." If you're not asked, I would advise to err on the side of caution and just not mention your future plans. Using vague timelines will only work in your favor. ![]() I just want to work for now."Ĭompletely agree. If they ask you that you could say something like what I said: "PA school but I am not sure when I will apply yet. I remember them asking me I wanted to go to med school or PA school. If you care, the interview for scribing job I didn't get involved an UNEXPECTED group interview where you had to make yourself stand out, stupid patient-doctor-scribe roleplaying games, and and unexpected test on information they showed us in power points earlier. One guy started working with us and didn't want to chart anything! The other never showed up for work! Just put yourself on the lowest level possible and show respect to your interviewer and everyone who you might have to interact with in ER. You won't believe how many people don't take it seriously. Don't make yourself look like a know-it-all or that you don't think scribing is a real job. Show that you are TRULY passionate about it and that you have full availability. I got the better job (better hospital, hours, and pay) but didn't get the other, worse option. ![]() I had 2 scribe interviews and was really nervous. I was in the exact same situation as you. I was a scribe before PA school and my interview was really chill so I am not sure how it will compare to yours. ![]()
