![]() I really enjoyed working at this community medical center. They also had an IT person on site available to me in case I needed any assistance. They used Athena EHR which was straightforward, and by the next day I was already pretty competent. I told the manager that I didn’t need a scribe, as I am used to jumping into places and learning the systems quickly. That’s a nice gesture to support their PCPs. Some of the providers here have scribes, if they aren’t comfortable or too slow with the EHR. Meaning, I wouldn’t have to document, there would be someone following me and documenting my encounter with the patient. The funny thing is they originally offered me a scribe. In the afternoon, I was introduced to the EHR system. My first day, I completed the mandatory OSHA/HIPPA etc. Since it was a brief assignment, I didn’t expect an extensive training. This is a community medical center, one of the goods ones as I portrayed in my previous post. Since I had a long commute, the site even allowed me to leave 1 hour early each day (paid for full shift) to make up for it. I was reimbursed for daily mileage to work and mileage home each weekend. The site was about 2 hours from my home in Miami, FL so I was provided with a hotel during the weekdays, and I went home during the weekend. It seemed like a good place to work, so when they offered me the job I said yes. They selected me as one of the top 3 candidates and proceeded with a phone interview. My recruiter was confident that I still had a chance because of my work experience and language skills. The agency had already submitted 10 candidates that the site was reviewing. Since I speak some Spanish and Haitian Creole, I figured why not. It would only be 3 weeks long (covering an FMLA) and would consist of working with a migrant community of mostly Hispanics and Haitians. However, one of my recruiters insisted he had the perfect assignment for me. After I decided to leave the assignment in Tampa, FL early, I was planning on just taking a vacation.
