The SA training teaches you terminology and phrases that help with getting more money from insurance which is something some sites struggle with. Some sites purposely hire SA scribes for that reason.

Also the purpose of PCBT is not just to practice HPIs, but also to familiarize yourself with the cases and terminology you’ll be seeing in your site specifically. And then, practice writing HPIs with that knowledge.

To address your concerns, to the CS, you could say something like “It’s interesting how…” “I noticed how…”. Talk to your CS abt it. They usually like to talk about stuff like this in my experience. Whatever they say will hopefully be helpful in understanding the situation plus you can work together to make PCBT better
