Abstract
Many medical students pursue pre-matriculation medical scribe experiences. Previous research has explored how these experiences may benefit academic performance, confidence, and commitment to medicine. However, no studies have investigated the effect of medical scribe experiences on specialty selection outcomes. Seven fourth-year medical students were interviewed after matching through the National Residency Matching Program in 2023 and 2024. Interviews revealed that scribing had minimal impact on student specialty selection, but significantly influenced career exploration, personal growth, and professional development.
