Pros
You have the opportunity to work alongside the physician, seeing the entire patient course of care from the first examination to disposition. This allows you to learn about the patient, and then see how the physician takes the information received to create a care plan.
Cons
The main downside, and the reason most scribes end up leaving, is the financial side. For the amount of time and energy that the scribe places into patient care (from the medical documentation side), many of us are faced with the challenge of not being payed nearly enough for the work being done.
