...Our docs are very smart people. If they would have wanted to do a clerical-type job, they would have done a clerical-type job, Dr. Kreamer says. They want to be doctors. They don’t want to be keyboardists.
...Scribes are typically pre-professionals, he says, who eventually become the next generation of doctors, nurses, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners. They receive three to four weeks of a mix of online, classroom, and hands-on clinical training. They also have a monthly continuing scribe education requirement.
Let me see if I understand this correctly. Scribes are pre-professional after 3-4 weeks, and we are dumb keyboardists. So glad we finally got this cleared up.
