As medical scribes become more popular with doctors and hospitals the need for training is increasing as well. Medical scribe training can take many forms including online courses, books and manuals, specialized training by large companies and courses at local colleges. There are several key questions related to medical scribe training:

  • What is a medical scribe?
  • Which topics are taught during training?
  • What are the different training courses?

What is a Medical Scribe?

The medical scribe is a medical paraprofessional responsible for facilitating documentation related to doctor-patient interactions. The scribe has many other duties as well which include – but are not limited to – recording, entering and maintaining information in EHR or electronic health records. A medical scribe will also collect and organize data, take dictation, schedule appointments and perform other clerical tasks.
To be effective, a medical scribe needs intensive training – which may occur online, in a classroom, on-the-job or in a combination of these formats. Continuing education is also important to keep skills current in an ever-advancing field. Medical scribes are becoming a fixture in more and more care environments: This is particularly true in emergency medicine. The field is growing quickly as physicians grapple with the increasing demands of electronic health records (EHR).

Medical Scribe Training Topics

There are a few pre-requisites to becoming a medical scribe. First, a medical scribe must be high school graduate. For some employers, it is preferable for a medical scribe to have a work background, some college courses or a degree in science: particularly in biology or pre-medicine. This will give the new scribe a leg up as they train for a new career as they will be more familiar with much of the terminology. Since many medical scribes go on to become physicians themselves, the training and clinical experience as a medical scribe can prove invaluable. A medical scribe will have a variety of roles and responsibilities and, so, will need to receive focused training in a variety of job-related topics. Some topics that Medical scribes may see in training include:
  • General medical knowledge
  • Anatomy and physiology
  • Bloodborne pathogens
  • Radiology, EKG, MRI and other results
  • Pharmacology
  • Discharge procedures
  • Coding
  • Medical billing
  • Workflow management
  • Medicolegal and patient privacy issues including HIPAA
  • Medical and legal documentation
