What do you know about Medical Transcription?

  • I am looking into changing careers to Medical Transcription. I live in a small town and will need to train online. Where is the best place? How long will it take? What should I ...show more

  • Answer:

    Before you jump, do a LOT of research. Find out who is hiring the kind of work you are interested in doing in your area. There are a lot of online "opportunities" these days that do nothing more than sell you education, with little hope for any real income. Remember that privacy laws prohibit the distribution of patient information, usually outside of a physical location. So if you think you're going to get TONS of business sitting at home, think again. Do your homework first! Lots of scammers out there...(as you'll shortly see)

I live in a small town too. The beauty of MT is that you can live in a small town in Florida and work for a company in California. It's all done online : ) Good training takes anywhere from 6 months (working it like a full-time job) to 18 months (working it more part-time). Watch out for education clearinghouses that teach 1,000 different courses. They don't offer "real" job placement assistance. They may give you resume help and a list of employers to call, but that is not real job placement. Go w/ a school that offers all 3 levels of the SUM CDs, has certified instructors, and interactive student forums. Look for job placement statistics. Choose a school that has established relationships with MT employers. After you graduate, your school should assist you in finding a job with one of the many employers that are EAGER to hire their graduates. There are a few good online schools to choose from and a whole lot of subpar ones. Be careful. Do your homework.
