Medical Scribe

CVS Health • Greensboro, NC

5d • $17 - $28 • Onsite

About The Position

Oak Street Health’s Clinical Informatics Specialists, also known as Medical Scribes, support primary care providers by serving as clinical documentation assistants. Each Scribe is paired with one provider and joins them in exam rooms and team huddles, then prepares post-visit summaries to support accurate, specific, and timely documentation. Training covers Oak Street Health’s value-based care model, ICD-10 and CPT coding, electronic medical records, and population health. Scribes help the interdisciplinary team identify and close care gaps, support preventive measures for chronic conditions, and contribute to positive patient experiences.

The role is intended for people seeking substantial clinical exposure, particularly those pursuing pre-medical or healthcare administration paths. Because the provider-patient partnership depends on the Scribe, candidates should be prepared to commit at least one year, with two or more years preferred. This is a paid, full-time, in-person opportunity to gain experience with chronic disease management and patient care workflows before pursuing MD, PA, nursing, or other healthcare programs. It is not a hands-on patient care position.

• Ability to remain in a stationary upright position or move about the work area for approximately 6–7 hours of an 8-hour workday.
