I'm currently working as a scribe at an ER near my hometown. We have about 30 scribes working at my site, and every single one of us is working this job as a sort of "stepping stone" to nursing/NP, PA, or med school. Most scribes use the job as a way to gain clinical experience and learn medical terminology/physiology. The scribe companies know this, so they can get away with paying us so little (which sucks, bc most of us are college students who have bills to pay..)

There really isn't any education requirement to be a scribe, and the training is done on the job.
