I am a dermatologist in private practice in Charlottesville. My office is located on Pantops and I work with two other dermatologists in a very busy clinical dermatology practice. This will be our fifth year running this annual bridge year program. We have had great success working with recent UVA graduates and teaching them valuable hands on medical skills.
We wish to hire a student who is considering a bridge year prior to enrollment in medical school or
physician's assistant school. We are in need of a dermatology clinical
assistant/scribe who would:
- Bring patients back from the waiting room
- Take an initial history of the medical problems to be discussed
- Generate prescriptions to be sent electronically
- Help with surgical procedures
- Provide medical education regarding dermatological conditions and treatment
This position will qualify as excellent experience for a
medical school/PA school application. After working with us for a year,
the individual would be comfortable seeing live patients, taking succinct
medical histories, assisting with surgical procedures, interfacing with
electronic medical records, and well versed in dermatological diseases and
treatments.
We will
be making our decision in the coming months. Interested applicants should
submit a resume, current GPA, and MCAT scores (if taken) to my email address as
soon as possible: brettkrasner@yahoo.com.
