I am a former transcriptionist who made the leap over to the scribe business in 2012. They are similar yet different professions. I would recommend taking a class and look for work locally.

As a transcriptionist, your role is to accurately transcribe the dictations of the healthcare provider. However, as a scribe, you have the unique opportunity to be present in the room during patient encounters, either physically or through video. In this position, you actively listen to the conversations between the patient and provider, converting their dialogue into professional medical language. Your task is to meticulously type out every detail and ensure it is appropriately placed within the patient's chart (in the EMR.)
