“Virginia
Emergency Medical Associates is recruiting applicants to join our highly
competitive scribe program in Northern Virginia, where we are
affiliated with two emergency departments: 1) Inova Fair Oaks Hospital in
Fairfax, and 2) Fauquier Hospital in Warrenton. 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. If you would like more information
about our program and our requirements, please visit our website: http://www.vemascribes.com/
This is a
full-time, paid position for individuals seeking admission to medical, PA, or
nursing schools. If you are graduating in May 2014 (or have previously
graduated) and are able to commit one continuous year to the program, we invite
you to apply. We also offer part-time positions as well, which require a
continuous 18-month commitment. Applications for the 2014-2015 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
- Continuously monitoring laboratory tests,
imaging studies, patient progress, and other evaluation studies
- 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.
