What are perks and other benefits like at ScribeAmerica?

Independence, amazing experience in ER setting

No benefits as a Scribe, no pay increase for working night shift,

Working at ScribeAmerica offers an opportunity for aspiring healthcare professionals to gain firsthand clinical experience. As a medical scribe, you shadow physicians, document patient encounters in real time, and become deeply familiar with medical terminology and electronic health records. It’s a powerful stepping stone for those pursuing medical school or other health careers, offering flexible scheduling and unmatched networking potential with practicing clinicians. While the pay is modest and benefits limited, the real value lies in the exposure, skills, and connections you gain.

I found leadership at ScribeAmerica to be inconsistent and often unsupportive, especially during the COVID period. There was frequent turnover in management, and for months at a time, I didn’t know who my direct supervisor was. When leadership was present, their style leaned heavily toward micromanagement and often felt disorganized. My advice to future scribes: document everything thoroughly and be prepared for unexpected calls from management asking about even minor details.

It was a great way to get exposure to various aspects of healthcare fields and gain valuable experience.

Minimum wage pay and was not offered benefits even working full time hours per week

It provided the opportunity for those who are interested in medicine but do not have experience in medicine to get their foot in the door and network with the providers they work with. They provide on-the-job training to ensure you are ready to solo scribe and provide opportunity for extended training if needed.

Low pay, no benefits, schedule was variable

It's a good way to gain experience in using medical terminology, charting and documenting, and for using as a stepping stone to other careers.

ScribeAmerica knows its employees aren't staying there forever, and it takes advantage. The pay is low, and during my time there, they cut my pay and benefits further for cost-cutting, providing no incentive to do more.

lots of benefits, completely remote, great trainers and manager in Ortho dept.

Most doctors do zoom meeting, but if you dont mind its great. I personally dont mind it

Good healthcare experience, feels like you are shadowing them and getting paid

Low pay, minimal benefits, not much support from management.

Great clinical exposure if you are interested in becoming a doctor and you're desperate for hours.

Incredibly disorganized. They told me to put in my two week notice at my prior job and then things changed last minute and they put me on a waitlist for training so I had no income for 2 months. You will be trained by different trainers pretty much every day and they will all give you different feedback that conflicts with how the other trainer taught you. They initially told me I would be required to work 2 times per week and had to give them availbility for 1 overnight shifts which then became working 3 minimum days per week and I had to over them 3 days that I would be available to work overnight. They told me that it was just to offer them availability for flexibility in scheduling and that it did not mean I would work those nights, which was another lie! I got scheduled for so many overnight shifts and then they would give me a morning shift the next day with barely any time to sleep in between! Also during training I was told multiple times to not take lunch breaks and that legally we could take breaks but that they would not advise them because then I would have a lot more work coming back from breaks. The pay was horrible with no benefits. You're also an at-will hire and they will test you every month for around 4 months and if you do not perform well on that 8 hour shift they will fire you!

Great experience to see the day to day of physicians and learn medical terminology

Pay, no benefits, unknown schedule

Good for a medical school resume.

Poor pay, was given just below 40 hours per week to avoid giving benefits. Depending on the location/provider, can have heavy work load and little time to complete documentation.
