I promised an explanation of why I am here:
Briefly, I took a micromanagement position last July with ScribeAmerica (http://www.scribeamerica.com), helping to hire, train, and run new scribe programs in hospital emergency departments.
A scribe works one-on-one with a physician in the emergency department, and helps put together the patient's chart and medical record for the physician. The physician is thus able to spend more time with the patient (and less time charting), and can see more patients per shift, reducing ER waiting times. The scribe is able to gain valuable clinical experience that will help prepare him/her for medical school.
My first project was at Condell Medical Center in Libertyville IL (July 5-October 26)
My second project was at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital in Roanoke VA (October 27-February 5)
My third project is here in Anchorage Alaska at Providence Medical Center (February 6-??? June I hope)!!!
