As a medical scribe, or medical paraprofessional, you will specialize in charting physician-patient encounters in real time, such as during medical examinations. 

Your primary duties are to follow a physician through the work day and chart patient encounters in real time using an electronic medical record (EMR) and existing templates. You will also generate referral letters for physicians, manage and sort medical documents within the EMR system and assist with e-prescribing.

Medical scribes can be thought of as data care managers, enabling physicians, medical assistants and nurses to focus on patient in-take and care during clinical hours. By handling data management tasks you will free the physician to increase patient contact time, give more thought to complex cases, better manage patient flow through the department and increase productivity.
