The East Orange medical scribe course was originally set up for medical students that wanted an advantage before beginning their medical education. PAs, NPs, and nurses also quickly realized that scribing throughout East Orange took them to the top of their classes in professional East Orange-area medical school. The new group of people that we are seeing interested in scribing are East Orange-area people that choose this for a career. The advantage of a career scribe is that the East Orange physician does not have constant turnover. The disadvantage is that a East Orange, New Jersey medical scribe that plans to work for a physician for 10+ years is limited by the pay that they can receive if they work for East Orange-area scribe companies.

At this time, the only way for a trained East Orange medical scribe to find a physician, and for a physician to find a trained scribe, is through a medical scribe company that operates in East Orange, New Jersey. These companies typically charge the East Orange healthcare provider $23/hr, and pays the East Orange scribe minimum wage. When Scribes4Hire originated, we thought this discrepancy was ridiculous. There are many fees that go into developing a trained East Orange medical scribe including recruiting, education, insurance costs, taxes, accountants, and firm management. However, as a business serving East Orange, we have managed to limit them. We do not charge the East Orange, New Jersey physicians as much as we could, and we attempt to compensate the East Orange scribes fairly. We have come to realize that the only way the East Orange scribe can truly get paid what they deserve is by working for the provider directly, which is why we developed Scribes4Hire. You will apply directly to the service of the East Orange-area physician, PA, or NP. In essence, the East Orange healthcare provider pays less and the East Orange scribes can be compensated more, removing the “middle man.”
