How common is it to work as a scribe and be doing other tasks other than scribing?
Hello I recently got hired as a scribe at a clinic. I have no prior scribing experience and my employers know that. I have only worked two shifts so far but I didn’t do any scribing in either. On my first shift, I was pretty much working as an MA and following the doctor around and helping her out with procedures. The staff is also teaching me various things like the system they use and basically how things work. The second day I was working front desk basically. I was answering and returning phone calls as well as writing down what patients wanted. I was also taught about scheduling appointments and making referrals. No scribing. Should I take take this as an opportunity to learn every aspect of the clinic or should I be worried? I do expect to scribe eventually though.
