Expanding the Role of Scribes, One Patient at a Time
January 04, 2017
Here at COMET we are expanding our roles as physician extenders!
COMET fellows are now trained to take vitals for adult and pediatric patients and have begun rooming patients in clinic. This hands on experience creates a stronger relationship between patient and scribe, as well as assisting the family medicine clinic and our fantastic patient care coordinators (PCC).
A HUGE shout out to our amazing assistant clinic manager, Therese Truong and Jessica Butler, PCC extraordinaire, for making this possible.
