Medical Transcription Jobs

I was searching for information to help a person with the ever popular question about how to get a job with no experience and I stumbled upon a very personal opinion piece on the job of medical transcription. I don’t agree 100% with everything Joy Denise says, but I appreciate her candor and I think she paints a vivid picture of her own experience in the field. Here is a short quote to pique your interest…

I’ve lost accounts to India and gotten a few of them back when the work came back looking like “Swiss cheese” with all the holes in the dictation….Smaller clients have proved more loyal, so that is my focus rather than hospitals…

Telecommuting means never being late because you get stuck in traffic. It also means that you are at the mercy of your internet service provider.

I think almost everyone in the Western World has several ISP’s competing for their business. If you are doing digital transcription, you have to place reliability above discounted prices. Don’t be afraid to abandon one ISP in favor of another. Some companies waive setup fees if you are switching from the competition. If you decide that dependability is extremely valuable to you, you could consider using more than one ISP and using a Double WAN router. In most cases this is going too far. People with 24/7 customer service contracts often use this setup, but for transcribing you should probably just ask around to find out who is most dependable and has the best customer service.

I was going to write a post and call it Will Medical Transcriptionists Become Obsolete?. I quickly found out that someone has already written that particular post. The article at MT Mastery Center covers much of the ground that I planned to cover. Given the fact that thousands of late adopters are still using tape pickup and return, I can’t imagine that the entire medical field would jump on the voice recognition bandwagon overnight. Skilled transcriptionists should be able to adapt to gradual changes in the job market and take on more editing and correcting work.

I just read a news item about a new vocational school in India that helps visually impaired students develop skills and find work. At least one student has gone on to find work as a medical transcriptionist. There are plans to create training modules specifically for transcription in the future.

I have never considered transcription as a job that could be accomplished by the visually impaired, by I suppose that it can be done. There are technologies that can assist people with poor eyesight and someone with the proper language skills and typing ability could conceivably make a go of it. Zoomtext is a popular item of software for people with poor eyesight.

This service has full-time and part-time work at home positions available immediately.

The hours are flexible, earning potential is excellent and they have the latest in equipment and technology.

There is a requirement of 2 years of Medical Transcription experience.

The contact number is 763-971-5000.
