Medical Scribe - St. Cloud, MN
: Job Details :

Emergency Physicians, PA (EPPA) is a physician owned and operated company with a Medical Scribe Program that includes 18 different locations throughout the Minneapolis-St. Paul Greater Area and St. Cloud, MN. Specialties include emergency medicine, primary care, oncology, dermatology, orthopedics, and more.

A Medical Scribe works one-on-one with a physician (MD/DO), physician assistant (PA), or nurse practitioner (NP), accompanying them into each patient encounter. Scribes complete the Electronic Health Record (EHR)/charting in real time enabling providers to spend more time with their patients and increase the overall workflow of the department. An EPPA Scribe types everything that occurs during the patient visit from start to finish; including the patients medical history, physical exam, patient outcomes, labs, imaging, dictations and more directly into the EHR. In return, Scribes become familiar with the workflow of medicine, medical decision making process, medical terminology, and different provider styles to patient care.
