Through close interaction with the physicians, scribes gain great exposure to patient care and medical practice procedures. The program provides the opportunity for students to gain significant clinical knowledge and experience while contributing to the patient care. Medical scribes provide services and support to the clinician that increase the provider’s availability to the patients and community as well as improving timely process of accurate and complete medical charts. In addition, scribes track laboratory and radiology results and ensure the completion and signature of charts. Students are extensively trained in both the classroom and the clinical environment in order to document history, physical exam, assessments, procedure notes, and other results and dictations provided by the clinician at the time of service.
The full-time positions support the Emergency Medicine Research Office, Emergency Department, and other clinics and divisions across UVA Health. Additionally, opportunities are available to be employed through full-time benefited positions through the University and through the University Physicians Group. Medical scribes are hired as hourly employees through the University’s student employment options and temp services through the University HR system. The original trainers, Priscilla Cha and Drew Clare, were recruited from outside hospitals to pour the foundation for the program today. Brian Clare, the program initiated with training five scribes Ben Curtis, Kristen Gruenther, Era Kryzhanovskaya, Sean Meredith, and Andrew Li. Through collaborating efforts with, then third year medical student, Courtney Terry, and with guidance from Dr. Scott Syverud, Professor of Emergency Medicine, initiated the process to establish a Medical Scribe program within the Department of Emergency Medicine.
The Scribe allows the doctor to focus on what is most important, the patient. The primary goal of a Scribe is to increase the efficiency and the productivity of the physician they are working for.
