It helped me a lot. When I was prepping for med school, everyone talked about the importance of clinical experience. But shadowing opportunities were limited, and I wanted something concrete that would show my dedication. That’s when I came across the Medical Scribe Certification at ACMSO — and it was a game-changer.
This isn’t just a video course. It’s an instructor-led program with live sessions, interactive quizzes, and simulation cases. You get access to 240+ modules covering 20 high-demand specialties and 93 real-world patient scenarios — the kind of cases you’d actually see on rotations.
The course teaches EHR navigation, SOAP notes, and medical terminology, and it prepared me for CMAA certification too. What I liked most was that the training mirrors the documentation skills med schools expect you to know. Plus, it only takes 2–4 weeks with the fast-track option.
So yes — if you want to show med schools you’re serious and develop actual clinical confidence before you start rotations, this program is 100% worth it.
