EPPA is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer.
Medical Scribe
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) enabling providers to spend more time with patients and increase the overall
workflow of the department. An EPPA Scribe documents everything that occurs during the visit from
start to finish; including the patient’s history, physical exam, patient outcomes, plan, labs, imaging,
and more. In return, Scribes become familiar with the workflow of medicine, medical decision process,
medical terminology, and different provider styles to patient care. Medical scribing with EPPA is paid
healthcare work experience in the clinical setting.
