The Stanford Medical Scribe Fellowship, also known as COMET, is a one-year post-baccalaureate program designed for highly motivated students interested in pursuing a career in the health professions. We are looking for academically strong candidates with excellent interpersonal and leadership skills. We offer fellows an intensive, direct patient care experience before applying to medical school, physician assistant school, nursing school, or other graduate school in the healthcare field. 

Medical scribing is a unique, unparalleled opportunity for prospective healthcare students to build clinical experience by observing and participating directly in patient care. Fellows are trained in medical terminology and clinical documentation. They work side-by-side with faculty physicians and other clinicians as trained medical scribes, seeing patients together at Stanford Health Care Clinics. The COMET program provides fellows with invaluable career mentorship, as well as the opportunity to engage in research or other scholarly pursuits. 

Prospective fellows can apply to be a medical scribe in the following 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.
