Virginia Emergency Medicine Associates (VEMA) is recruiting recent college graduates for our scribe program at the Fair Oaks Emergency Department in Fairfax, Virginia. Medical scribes receive first-hand exposure to patient care in a fast-paced emergency room setting. This is a full-time paid position targeted at individuals interested in gaining experience in healthcare.
The role of the scribe includes:
- Taking patient histories
- Transcribing details of the physical exam and patient orders
- Documenting procedures performed by the physician
- Checking on the progress of lab, X-ray, or other patient evaluation data
- Recording physician dictated diagnoses and instructions
Scribes are paid on an hourly basis, provided with fully paid health and dental benefits, and given the opportunity to contribute to a 401K plan. After a period of training and orientation, scribes work directly alongside board certified Emergency Physicians and are able to receive recommendations for graduate schools.
Minimum requirements to apply:
* Completed Bachelor’s degree
* Completed MCATs or GRE exam
* Plans to eventually complete an MD, DO, or PA degree
* Full time availability (32 hours per week) for a minimum of 1-year
* Willingness to work rotating shifts, including days, evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays
