I will be launching this blog with what I call “Scribe Journal Series”. As mentioned in the about me section, I am currently working as a medical scribe. Before graduating I had spoken to physicians and advisers who suggested that this position was an excellent way to prepare for a career in medicine and potentially get a head start to a medical education. Shortly after becoming a scribe I seemed to hear it more frequently, even from friends who were in medical school. As happy as it made me to think that I could go into medical school having learned more than a thing or two about medicine, the thought of retaining it all with no form of accountability made me slightly worried.
This led me to think, “What better way to challenge myself than by actively striving to learn and document my experiences?”. I figured this would be a great way to share them with anyone who is looking to become a scribe themselves or is on a medically-related track and is simply unsure of what to do with their lives post-undergrad. With this position I am privileged to get (re)introduced to concepts and conditions that I am then able to further explore for myself and in turn learn something new. I hope the content I share on this page will provide you with a fresh perspective and help you see a real-life account of the value and educational benefits of becoming a medical scribe.
