A medical scribe business pairs eager med students with doctors to handle charting. Physicians spend hours on electronic health records instead of patients; scribes typing during visits frees them up while students get clinical exposure and doctors bill faster.
I started what was called the scribe business. They were. Because doctors were tired of it. They're like, I just want my money. You know, you had to wait 365 days. If you didn't do it, do it in the computer. So hospitals and doctors are freaking out. And I'm like, well, you got a whole room full of medical students that are sitting here fighting at the bit to come and see cool shit, pardon my French. And they want to come in and do stuff. Why don't you put them on the computer, let them do the typing, let the doctor do the talking and problem solve.
