The Stanford Medical Scribe Fellowship (COMET) is now accepting applications for the 2022-23 fellowship year (May 31, 2022 – June 30, 2023)! Please see message below.
Stanford Medical Scribe Fellowship (COMET)
Medical scribing is a unique opportunity for prospective healthcare students to observe and participate directly in patient care. The Stanford Medical Scribe Fellowship, also known as Clinical Observation and Medical Transcription (COMET), is a one-year post-baccalaureate program designed for highly motivated students interested in pursuing a career in the health professions. Fellows are trained in medical terminology and clinical documentation. They work side-by-side with faculty physicians and other clinicians as experienced medical scribes, seeing patients together at Stanford Healthcare clinics and affiliated clinics in the community.
We are looking for candidates who are academically strong, with excellent interpersonal and leadership skills, who desire an intensive direct patient care experience before applying to medical school, physician assistant school, nursing school, or other graduate school in the healthcare field. Scribing is an unparalleled way to build clinical experience and be immersed in medicine. The COMET Fellowship provides fellows the ability to connect with faculty and develop a mentoring relationship, as well as the opportunity to engage in research or other scholarly pursuits.
One of the goals of the COMET Fellowship is to support our fellows' professional growth. COMET fellows may choose to pursue external part-time employment opportunities or academic classes in addition to their regular COMET scribing duties. At the end of the fellowship year and based on performance, fellows are eligible to apply for a one-year leadership role as a COMET Chief Scribe overseeing teams of our scribes.
Prospective fellows can apply to be a medical scribe in 17 different specialties: family medicine, internal medicine, senior care, palliative care, endocrinology, cardiology, dermatology, gastroenterology, infectious disease, radiation oncology, express care, gynecology, pelvic health, clinical pharmacy, nephrology, orthopedic surgery, and chronic fatigue syndrome.
We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and strive to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion with scholarship opportunities.
