Why EMSS
Amazing career potential -- with such strong growth, we are constantly adding new positions. If you are a strong performer, you will find many opportunities to expand your role or rise to the next levels in the organization. For example, we do not currently have any VP-level roles in the company, so directors who perform well will be the first in line once those positions become necessary.
Great culture -- we are a young company, and we have created a casual, flexible work environment. We are looking for other like-minded individuals who want to thrive in a highly entrepreneurial environment.
Opportunities for input -- the company is still at a size where our infrastructure is growing and changing. The right fit for this role is someone who wants to contribute to the structure of the company, giving input to help us determine our future direction, and who will shape this role for excellence.
Excellent compensation -- in addition to a competitive salary, we offer comprehensive benefits, and an incentive program that has true profit sharing.

About EMSS
Scribes work alongside physicians and contemporaneously document the medical encounter as it is being performed. This allows the physician to focus on delivering the best possible medical care while at the same time highly accurate patient records are created.
This process includes transcribing all ancillary test results and the interpretation of the results by the physician, including any lab tests, imaging tests, ECGs and ABGs, recording physician’s consultations with family members and/or other physicians, review of prior medical records to obtain PMH information, and prior labs, ECG and radiographic studies for comparison, alerting the physician when the chart is under-documented and assisting with medication reconciliation documentation. The Scribe must also document procedures and treatments performed by the physician or any other healthcare professional, including nurses and physician assistants.
