Find your path in health care. Our team members make Banner Health a Great Place To Work®. Learn how you can join our dedicated team of professionals.
Banner Alzheimer’s Institute is committed to ending Alzheimer’s before we lose another generation. At this center, people with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias and their families access a new standard of care that brings together innovative therapies, advanced treatments and valuable resources.
As a Medical Office Scribe, you'll work closely with healthcare providers—usually in the exam room—helping them document patient visits in real time. Your main responsibility is to accurately enter details into the electronic health record (EHR), including patient history, physical exam findings, test results, and the provider’s assessment and plan. This role is essential in helping the provider stay focused on the patient, rather than on the computer. You won’t be making medical decisions or interacting with patients directly about their care, but you’ll be a key part of the clinical team by ensuring that documentation is complete, timely, and accurate.
