Mandatory Sophomore Advising Meeting

Sophomore Mandatory PreHealth Advising meeting

MANDATORY attendance is required at this group advising meeting for any current UMBC sophomore or sophomore-transfer student who is interested in attending medical, dental, optometry, podiatry, or veterinary school after graduating from UMBC.

From a pre-health advising perspective, you should attend the Sophomore Advising Meeting if:

This is your third or fourth semester in college.
or
You are currently enrolled in CHEM 351 or CHEM 352 or BIOL 302 or BIOL 303.

This meeting will address pre-professional specific advising issues for sophomores such as professional school prerequisite courses, grades, standardized exams, gaining research, clinical, and leadership experience. Between now and the meeting, sophomores should acquire a working knowledge of the information on the office’s website. All sophomore students interested in attending medical, dental, optometry, podiatry, or veterinary school after they graduate from UMBC, are strongly encouraged to attend.

Pre-professional students have TWO advisors–an Assigned Academic/Declared Major Advisor and a supplemental, pre-health advisor. Please read about the differences between your TWO advisors here. It is strongly suggested that each student meet with their Assigned Academic/Declared Major Advisor prior to attending the pre-health group advising session. Only your Assigned Academic Advisor in your declared major can lift your registration block.

This session will be conducted two times.  The same content will be covered in both sessions.  There is no need to RSVP. Please save one of these dates on your calendar.

My name is Josh Sattler and I am a Recruiter for ScribeAmerica; a company that hires and trains Medical Scribe for Physicians. This email is to provide information about a truly unique employment opportunity for students interested in careers in medicine. Our company is currently looking to recruit students to work as Medical Scribes in Randallstown, MD.  The scribe will work side by side with physicians assisting with documentation for each patient evaluated by the doctor.  It is an exceptional opportunity for any student interested in medicine to gain first-hand experience following a physician.

The role of a scribe is to closely collaborate with their assigned physician by documenting the history of each patient evaluated, the doctor’s physical examination, the results of laboratory/radiological studies ordered, and the eventual diagnosis and disposition.  Becoming a scribe provides the student with first rate exposure to medical terminology, disease processes, emergency procedures, medications, and the medical decision making process performed by the physicians.

This job is not for everyone; the complexity of the material and fast-paced environment necessitate that only the sharpest and most motivated students succeed as a scribe.  We are looking for dependable and hard working employees that have a desire for an eventual career in medicine, or are interested in learning more about careers in medicine.  There are multiple shifts, both day and night and each shift consists of following a single physician, usually lasting 8-12 hours. It is expected that each scribe can commit to 2 shifts per week for at least 2 years.

Paid classroom & clinical training is provided. The training is extensive and intense. Each employee will have multiple training sessions both in the classroom and the emergency department during which we teach the flow of the emergency room, extensive medical terminology, and appropriate medical/legal documentation.

There is a flyer attached to this email providing more information about the positions and how to apply.     

This is a unique and exciting opportunity which has demonstrated itself to be excellent experience for students preparing for careers in medicine.

Regards,

Josh Sattler
