1/23 - Medical Scribe Information Session
This Thursday, URGO will be hosting an information session on medical scribing with an emergency department scribing agency from here in the Twin Cities. A scribe is a medical documentation specialist who works with an emergency department physician to produce medical notes recording what occurs during a patient's visit. The scribe is directly involved in patient interviews and physical exams and continues as an integral part of the treatment team throughout the patient's stay in the emergency department. Many students applying for medical school or other health-related fields have found scribing to be a great learning experience.
Scribe Information Session
Date: January 23
Time: 6-7 p.m.
Location: OGC 114
Pizza will be served!
