They help ensure accurate and thorough record keeping, allowing veterinarians to focus more on patient care. Scribes often manage electronic medical records, assist with paperwork, and support workflow in veterinary clinics or hospitals.

Familiarity with veterinary practice management software and electronic medical record (EMR) systems is commonly required.

Many scribes find it helpful to review templates and medical notes in advance and to communicate regularly with the clinical team to clarify any uncertainties.

ABOUT VEG

In 2014, VEG was born with a mission to help people and their pets when they need it most. This meant challenging the status quo and fixing everything that was wrong with the ER experience. Since then, we've expanded rapidly, with hospitals nationwide open 24/7, 365 days a year, and created a better emergency experience—not only for people and their pets, but also for everyone who works here—our VEGgies!

At VEG we find a way to say yes to the career you want in veterinary emergency medicine. This means transforming how ER works, from our open-concept hospitals, where you can handle emergency cases of every kind (even exotics!) to our immersive, customer-focused experience, which helps us give people and their pets the care they deserve.

This also means saying yes to creating the greatest experience possible for our VEGgies. Yes to working in an environment where you can find your place and feel valued for the amazing work you do. Yes to having unparalleled opportunities for learning and mentorship so you can grow where you want to go in your career. And yes to making an impact here in ways you never thought possible.

VEG is a 2025 and 2026 certified Great Place to Work®.

THE JOB

As a seasonal Scribe, you'll play a crucial role in enhancing the patient care experience by building accurate, detailed medical records, setting the foundation for exceptional care. By shadowing and partnering with our doctors, you'll be empowered to take your career to unexpected places. This role helps to provide relief for our doctors and teams during their busiest time, the summer months, when many veterinary students are on break from class. Come spend your summer with our amazing team! Here, you'll have the support and freedom to forge a path that's uniquely yours, expanding your experience and opening doors to new possibilities.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Compose electronic medical records
  • Submit lab work and notify doctor when results are in
  • Assist doctors with any non-clinical duties
  • Communicate effectively with every member of the medical team
  • Maintain professionalism and an exemplary work ethic
  • Write clearly and concisely and able to type quickly

WHO WE NEED

  • Current veterinary veterinary student with an interest in a future career in veterinary emergency medicine
  • Available for at least 10 weeks between Memorial and Labor Days—full-time summer applicants welcome
  • Detail oriented, with strong communication and multitasking skills
  • Must be willing to work in a noisy environment with strong or unpleasant odors
  • Availability to work nights, weekends, and holidays on a rotating or as needed basis based on hospital needs; this is not a remote position
  • Work well in a fast-paced environment with people from all backgrounds and different personality types

WHO YOU ARE

  • Empathetic, instinctively taking a people-centric approach, whether supporting your colleagues or making an effort to understand different perspectives
  • Have a sense of humility; acknowledging mistakes, sharing credit with others, and lifting up your team's' accomplishments
  • Feel a strong sense of ownership over your work, taking responsibility for outcomes and staying committed to achieving long-term, impactful results
  • Curious by nature; you ask insightful questions and continuously seek out opportunities to learn and grow your skills and knowledge

HOW WE INVEST IN YOU

  • Competitive compensation
  • Flexible work schedules to support your life outside of work
  • Generous employee referral program, so our awesome people can bring in more awesome people
  • And the little (big) things, like comfy scrubs, cool VEG swag, and food in the fridge for when you're hungry

DEI

At VEG, diversity is not just a word—it's a strength that fuels innovation and kindness. Our mission is "Helping people and their pets when they need it most." And we do that better when our VEGgies (employees) feel valued, respected, and empowered to bring their authentic selves to work. That's why we're devoted to creating an environment that reflects the diverse communities we serve—where different perspectives are not only welcomed but celebrated.

We are focused on providing equitable opportunities for growth, promoting inclusive decision-making, and ensuring that everyone's perspective is considered. Saying yes to VEG means helping us build a culture where your unique experiences and background contribute to a shared vision: being the world's veterinary emergency company.
