A scribe business pairs medical students with doctors to handle electronic record entry, freeing physicians from hours of typing. Doctors get back time with patients. Medical students get clinical exposure they'd otherwise wait a year for.
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.
