1/23 - Medical Scribe Information Session

Next Thursday, URGO will be hosting an information session on medical scribing with an emergency department scribing agency from here in the Twin Cities. A scribe is a medical documentation specialist who works with an emergency department physician to produce medical notes recording what occurs during a patient's visit. The scribe is directly involved in patient interviews and physical exams and continues as an integral part of the treatment team throughout the patient's stay in the emergency department. Many students applying for medical school or other health-related fields have found scribing to be a great learning experience.

Scribe Information Session
Date: January 23
Time: 6-7 p.m.
Location: OGC 114

Pizza will be served!

Still Looking for a Keystone Course?

Students in languages and cross-cultural studies are required to take KEY 480 "Issues in Global Interdependence," which meets Tuesdays and Thursdays 1:50-3:30pm in Old Main 104 (see LCS departmental listings in records and registration). In past years KEY 480 has been listed under General Studies, because it is also open to a wide range of students beyond our majors. If your department does not specify a particular keystone, you are welcome to join us and benefit from the experiences of our returning study-abroad sojourners and bi-cultural and international students as we question the meaning and feasibility of global citizenship.
