Description

If you’ve ever wondered what do medical scribes do, this episode breaks it down in simple, real-world terms. Medical scribes are trained professionals who document patient visits in real time, capturing symptoms, histories, diagnoses, and treatment plans directly into the EHR. By handling documentation, scribes free doctors to focus fully on patient care instead of late-night charting or endless clicks.

We’ll explore the wide range of responsibilities tied to what do medical scribes do, from prepping charts and updating labs to supporting ER workflows and telehealth visits. You’ll also hear why scribing reduces physician burnout, boosts patient satisfaction, and provides pre-med students with invaluable clinical exposure. Whether you’re a doctor seeking support or a student exploring career paths, this episode reveals the true impact of medical scribes.
