Welcome
Hello, this is a blog site by me Daniel Rex Hamilton. My family line on my mother side founded McCuiston Hospital now Paris Regional in Paris Tx. Now I have you attention? I hope you enjoy my stories. If you are new to scribing or want to become a scribe then you are in the right place!
To start out as a medical scribe you may enroll via FASFA or other state program grants for Texas it is the WIA. It is best, and cheapest to pass your Jr. College class in Anatomy & Physiology, also medical terminology courses. If you cannot get to college because you do not have a ride I suggest contacting your local Jr. college or high school automotive program that gives away vehicles to indignant family's or persons. NPR's show about fixing cars also gives away vehicles.
A great start for me was joining my local volunteer fire department and ambulance service. These services some times they even employee felonies through volunteer work to keep them productive in society. These departments have medical directors, and teachers that you may learn under their caring watchful eyes to guide you into your career as a scribe. Before you go further, other scribes for Automotive Science are called service writers. Here is my automotive page https://www.facebook.com/McCuistonAutomotive/

Medical Terminology for Dummies: This book will get you on track in no time, even if you’ve just started learning medicine. The language used is very engaging and even entertaining. The author was able to to turn a serious field like medicine into something fun and interesting to read about.
Medical Terminology: A Living Language: You’ll be amazed how effective this book is at delivering huge amounts of information, without giving you a headache or boring you to death. Another characteristic of “Medical Terminology: A Living Language” is that it won’t bombard you with outdated terms or words that you’ll probably never use. All the information has been carefully selected and cataloged.
Quick Medical Terminology: A Self-Teaching Guide: As the authors have put it: “it provides the tools necessary for building and sustaining a large working repertoire of medical terms”. The book offers a number of exercises and real examples that will help you train and develop your memory.

Are you wanting to work but are too young? Jr. Scribes may work in the hospital setting for only $600 a year. This is a great option if your parent(s) are already working in the hospital. You may also apply for a permit to drive back and forth to work at age 15. If things are really horrible at home you may need to separate and may apply for "emancipation". You should speak to your religious counsellor, elder, deacon, or mentor to get a second opinion.
Are online courses for me?

Recommended Wiki links and other links:
These links will help you I hope in understanding the basics of scribing, and some dynamics of the English language which is the national standard in scribing into the electronic data bases from a terminal. Like that of the air plane control towers, they only speak English.
Where may I apply?
Local employers are required by the government to list their job openings. This places help prepare you for your interview, resume, and some even train you in excel for free! These are known as work force centers in Texas. If you live in Texas for example you will need to go to www.twc.state.tx.us
