Medical Transcriptionists unite....

[StacyMarie]

I was just wondering if there are any other DISers who are MTs.

I wish!! I'm looking for a steady work from home career and have a couple of friends that do medical transcription. I would actually rather do legal but not sure how much of a market there is for it. What school do you recommend?

I am just finishing up a course to become a MT. Good to know there are others of us out there

Going to school to get my degree

Thinking about this career. Is it possible to get jobs online without ever having to face-to-face interview? I don't do well at interviewing.

Me!!! I have done this for ten years and went to a local community college for training while pregnant with my son. Have worked at home the entire time even though I was told that I would have to work in an office first for experience. So far, so good, and I just got plain lucky.

I do it part time for an office that I used to work for. I never went to school for it (but I don't think I could ever pick up on a different specialty....I know the terminology for ophthalmology but that is it).
It is a great way to make some extra cash!!

Yep...

Been an MT for 9 years, 8 at a local hospital and now full-time at home with a national company. Live in KY and create reports for a hospital in Arizona! lol. My account just switched to some speech recognition and I am really enjoying "editing" some reports instead of all typing.

Getting ready to start work now!!

Can anyone give me some information on how to get started, and how to locate jobs? I was told with the speech recognition they are using now, there wasn't a great need for MT's. Also, what companies allow you to work from home??

Thanks!

I'm interested too. Are the online courses any good? I have been thinking about this for years, and I love medical terminology!
