If you aren’t making enough progress your trainer should be honest with you every step of the way. Don’t be down on yourself if you cannot get the hang of it the first shift! You will get there. The more exposure you have, the better you will become. The assumption is with time, you will be able to capture more correctly and ask less for constant repeating information. Your provider and trainer should know that as a newbie, you will need time to get it right. If you aren’t quite comfortable asking your provider for clarification the first couple of shifts, that is what your trainer is for. Your provider may be ticked that you asked them to repeat something, but at the end of the day they would rather it be correct than wrong. As a trainer, I had a plethora of practice scenarios that I would have available for my scribes to use if they needed additional practice. OR, you can ask your friends and family to poorly act it out for you! Your scribe company may also have practice videos online as well that you can access. All I had to do was either try to write my HPI or physical exam from the prompt given. I received a manual when I worked at ScribeAmerica, so there were practice scenarios already in that manual. Practice writing your charts! There are many resources online to help you do this.That way, if you need to add additional information or verify something, you can easily find it and augment your chart or help your provider. Know how to access previous notes/charts, how to filter so you only see certain specialties if you need it, where to find previous labs/imaging, etc. Just type and improve the function between what you are hearing and your fingers typing. You can even start typing down conversations of people you live with! I’ve had many scribes in training listen and type to their parent’s conversations or roommates talking. Start slow, such as a kid’s show, then build up to say a sit-com or a normal conversational pace, and then if you are feeling daring try for a commercial. Something that you haven’t heard before but can type down a conversation. To do this, sit in front of a television, or pop in your favorite podcast and start typing what you hear.
