One good thing
is that most of these courses can now be taken online and can be completed
at your own pace.The actual job itself consists of listening to recordings
dictated by doctors and transcribing them into medical reports. There
are several methods of dictation and transcribing that can be used
such as cassette tapes, c-phones, and WAV pedals, etc. An MT will
need to adjust to whichever method a doctor is using to dictate. The
job of medical transcriptionists is the ability to work in a clinic,
hospital, or at home. Medical transcription is very popular as a work
at home career
that brings in
a regular income. As more and more people want to enjoy the benefits
of working at home, becoming an MT is looking very attractive.So,
yes, this is a viable, legitimate career for someone willing to put
effort into completing an MT course and being an independent contractor
with the option of working at home.Marilyn Roberts is a medical transcriptionist
