Medical Scribe
About the role
Our Medical Scribes play a key role in supporting that mission by partnering directly with our providers during on-site rounds in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) and senior living communities. In this role, you'll accompany the provider during patient visits and document the encounter in real time in the Electronic Medical Record (EMR). Your work allows the provider to stay fully focused on the resident while ensuring accurate, timely, and complete documentation. Scribes do not provide hands-on clinical care and do not need prior medical training; all documentation is reviewed and approved by the provider. This position is ideal for anyone interested in the medical field and eager to gain meaningful experience in geriatric and value-based care.
