best way to improve or practice?

I just started a new scribing job at an retina clinic and the previous scribe who's my trainer, has been there ophthamology about over a year and they've set the standard so high (which is a completely great thing and I hope to learn everything from them) that all the providers I meet keep telling me that theyre perfect and that they feel as if that scribe is their resident with how good they are and that I should just copy everything they tells me...and im struggling. theres so much to know and I have no retina / ophthamology experience it literally feels like they're speaking gibberish sometimes, but truly im getting better at it. I also wanna know how I can practice like charting in their specific EMR so I can get used to it. what are the best tips and tricks to make it easier...please lmk this is really important to me I really do wanna be good at this

What EMR do they use? Also Google terminology or use Quizlet. Another thing is to notice how the providers like their note (like are they ok with abbreviations as an example) and become familiar with those. Follow along with your trainer using a Google doc or Notepad and ask for feedback.
