Volunteer Medical Scribe

The MetroWest Free Medical Program has been providing free care to uninsured and underinsured patients since 2004. Our services include Adult medicine, Women's Health and Vision Care. We are a critical part of the patient safety net west of Boston. The majority of our patients are of Brazilian descent, are non-English speaking, and have difficult accessing health care.

The Scribe will provide a key role in direct medical care with volunteer physicians and nurses during an exciting, dynamic, and transformative time as the organization adopts AthenaNet for its clinical workflow and electronic health records, strengthens the short-term case management and specialty referral services, and builds its capacity to add Telehealth to support patient care. The MWFMP has attained the Gold Level Certification but the National Association of Free and Charitable Clinics. The MWFMP engages over 80 volunteers and a team of six part-time staff, including an administrative executive director. More about our work is at www.metrowestfreemedicalprogram.org.
