Medical Scribes

The prospects for employment as a medical scribe are excellent. There will be many available positions as physicians, medical providers, and facilities become fully compliant with regulations requiring the implementation of electronic medical records systems. As noted in the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), prospects for medical assistants are better where they have familiarity with electronic health records. It is anticipated there will be a spike in the use of medical scribes as physicians focus on productivity, but wish to spend more time on patient care and less time on data entry.
