Job description

OrthoVirginia Medical Scribe

At OrthoVirginia, you're part of a team dedicated to delivering expert orthopedic and therapy care across the state. As Virginia's largest provider of musculoskeletal care, we offer full-time and part-time opportunities in a collaborative, team-oriented environment.

With more than 159 physicians in over 35 locations—including Lynchburg, Northern Virginia, Richmond, Southwest Virginia, and Hampton Roads—OrthoVirginia is a leader in orthopedic surgery, non-surgical care, and physical, hand, and occupational therapy. Our nationally recognized specialists treat a full range of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions, helping patients of all ages move, heal, and thrive.

Join us and become part of a trusted network committed to excellence in orthopedic care.

Position Overview

This Medical Scribe role is an excellent opportunity for individuals planning to pursue advanced education in healthcare, such as medical school, physician assistant school, physical therapy school, nursing, or related programs.

The position is ideally suited for candidates in a gap year (or two) following undergraduate education or those currently completing a healthcare-related degree and seeking meaningful hands-on clinical exposure. Working alongside orthopedic clinicians, scribes gain real-time insight into clinical decision-making, musculoskeletal conditions, and patient care workflows.

This role is not entry-level clerical work—it is intended for individuals who are serious about pursuing a future in healthcare.

Primary Functions & Responsibilities:
  • Record details of the chief complaint, history of present illness, review of systems, physical exam, comorbid conditions, medications and allergies.
  • Record details of the physical exam including pertinent positives, negatives and noted abnormalities.
  • Record sufficient information in the physician's assessment and plan based on the level of complexity.
  • Ensure timely, thorough, and compliant clinical documentation while supporting provider efficiency
  • Maintain professionalism and patient confidentiality in a fast-paced clinical environment
Knowledge, Skills & Abilities:
  • Proficient knowledge in musculoskeletal anatomy and physiology.
  • Strong knowledge of medical terminology, common clinical conditions, and interactions.
  • Proficient computer and typing skills (> 60wpm preferred).
  • Ability to quickly synthesize and accurately document complex medical information
  • High attention to detail and ability to function effectively in a fast-paced environment
  • Ability to communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing

Strongly preferred candidates will have one or more of the following:

  • Bachelor's degree or current enrollment in a healthcare-related or science-based major (e.g., biology, kinesiology, exercise science, health sciences)
  • Prior healthcare or clinical exposure (e.g., medical scribing, CNA, EMT, MA, athletic training, physical therapy aide, research, shadowing)
  • Demonstrated interest in pursuing advanced clinical education (MD/DO, PA, PT, NP, etc.)
  • Comfort working in a clinical setting with clinicians and patients

Compensation Range for this position:

$14.23 - $21.35

Compensation for this role will be based on several factors, including the candidate's qualifications, relevant experience, education, skills, certifications, geography/market, and internal equity considerations.
