Product Description The Ophthalmic Scribe Manual is the ultimate how-to manual for learning to scribe in ophthalmology. If you're interested in learning more about scribing in retina, cornea, comprehensive, glaucoma, or oculoplastics, this manual has you covered. Inside, you will find over 100 full-color figures and tables illustrating the most important concepts, Anatomy & Physiology, organized high-yield abbreviations, must know medications, must know imaging modalities, and high-yield specialty-specific pathology. About the Author After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and prior to enrolling in medical school, my job search brought me back home to Atlanta where I accepted a position as an Ophthalmic Medical Scribe. I had no prior experience as a scribe or in the healthcare field, but I knew that quickly improving my understanding of ophthalmology would be essential for my success. I searched the web to obtain every piece of relevant ophthalmology information that I could find, and I spent hours experimenting with the functionalities of the eye clinic's electronic medical record to better prepare myself for my new role. However, I found that it took a significant amount of time and effort to sift through the excessive online information before I was able to hone in on the relevant material. Due to the lack of designated ophthalmic medical scribe training resources and the vast amount of irrelevant information online, I decided that the creation of The Ophthalmic Scribe Manual was warranted. With over 3 years of scribing experience and over 20,000 patient encounters, as well as having published a variety of first author case reports and review articles in prominent ophthalmic medical journals, I am confident that my experiences will offer an immediate benefit to those seeking to excel in this rewarding profession. Review "Very well-written! This looks terrific and will be great for widespread use particularly in training programs, especially with the growing need for trained ophthalmic personnel."
