The UVA Emergency Department's Fall application cycle for Medical Scribes is now open!
Medical Scribes are hired as hourly employees through the University’s student employment options and temp services through the University HR system. Additionally, opportunities are available to be employed through full-time benefited positions through the University and through the University Physicians Group. The full time positions support the Emergency Medicine Research Office, Emergency Department, and other clinics and divisions across the medical center.
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. In addition, scribes track laboratory and radiology results and ensure the completion and signature of charts. 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. The program provides the opportunity for students to gain significant clinical knowledge and experience while contributing to the patient care. Through close interaction with the physicians, scribes gain great exposure to patient care and medical practice procedures.

Applicants should have strong academic records and a willingness to commit a minimum of 2 years, inclusive of training, for undergraduates with exceptions, potentially, for late third year students and higher.
