Virginia Emergency Medical Associates is recruiting
applicants to join our highly competitive
scribe program at Inova Fair Oaks Hospital in Fairfax,
Virginia. We are seeking motivated
and hardworking individuals who are eager to work as medical
scribes. Our scribes gain
significant first-hand exposure to patient care in a
fast-paced emergency room setting.
This is a full-time, paid position for individuals seeking
admission to medical or PA school
and have already completed their Bachelor’s degree or are
graduating in May 2013. If you
are able to commit one year to the program and have taken
the MCAT/GRE with no plans
of re-taking the exam, we invite you to apply. Applications
for the 2013-2014 cycle are now
available on our website.
The role of the scribe:
-
Recording patient histories in an electronic
medical record (EMR)
-
Transcribing details of the physical exam and
patient orders in the EMR
-
Documenting procedures performed by the physician
-
Ordering laboratory tests, imaging studies, and
other patient evaluation studies and continuously monitoring results/progress
-
Recording physician dictated diagnoses,
prescriptions, and instructions
Our scribes accompany ER physicians to the bedside for the
evaluation and treatment of
all patients. Scribes observe medical resuscitation for
cases of cardiac and respiratory arrest
as well as other emergency procedures including central
lines, lumbar punctures, conscious
sedations, and chest tube placements.
Our program offers the advantage of working with a small
group of physicians. VEMA
scribes build close relationships with our physicians who
offer mentorship, teaching, and
insights into a career in medicine. Our physicians are open
to conducting mock interviews
to help scribes prepare for admissions season. As a VEMA
scribe, you will be able to
strengthen your application with letters of recommendation
from physicians who know you
personally and have worked with you extensively.
Thank you for your interest in our program.
