Do you live in the US?  Most reputable services will not send work outside of US; MedQuist, like Medware, OSI, Keystrokes, Diskriter, and the other huge companies are actively expanding their offshoring programs.  Americans have the privilege of "editing" the garbage produced by the third worlders, for a penny or 2 per line.\n\n1000 lines/day of transcription is part-time work; most companies will expect 1200 to 1800 with 99.4% accuracy or better.  Looks like you'd better find some local work in-house at a service, hospital, or doctor's office until you have the needed skills and experience.  If you really had that sort of experience, you would know where to find the MT message boards and job listings online.  Hint - try google.

I am a medical transcriptionist...I work at home, as much or as little as I need to.  I make realistic money...not millions but way more than working in an office or other normal middle class job.  There really isn't a ceiling to what I can make...only my desire (or lack of) and ability to do the work.  It isn't a get rich quick thing in any way...but if you are looking to honestly work from home and make your own hours it is a good one.  I did an at-home course and am an Independant Contractor not an employee.  This is an area that I doubt will disappear anytime soon...sick people, old people, and doctors who eat while they dictate their notes are job security.

Go to Monster.com.  But most importantly call Physician's offices.  Send them letters and describe your abilities well and in detail.  Basically, sell yourself.

If you're medically inclined, you should consider enrolling in a medical transcription program at a good college.  There's probably one near you - a local community college, for example. \n\nMany medical transcriptionists sign on with outsourcing companies and work entirely from home.  I personally know MT's that earn as much as $60K/year.  They are given work to do, and they perform it on their time - whenever is convenient for them, as long as it is completed in a timely manner.  They love the freedom and flexibility, and make pretty good income.\n\nIt's going to take some college work to do it right, but the rewards are worth it.

CONTACT NASSCOM. New Delhi for information on Indian Websites and Training Groups for Medical transcriptions. Most of the training facilities are run by subcontractors of American Principals and hence the courses they offer are of that origin.\n\nBut I would advise you to take the US version for the simple reason that by the time you finish the course, you would be well familiar with the accents of American English which is one of the  main obstacles for the Indian aspirants in this profession.. This valuable experience cannot be purchased for a few dollars that you will save in fees.\nBesides, errors of an Indian student under training  are  more tolerated than the errors of a certified Indian Transcriber. Significantly high rejectiioons will jeopardise chances for future work.\n\nAs a simple practising exercise, watch American medical case movies like the Final Diagnosis and try to write down the technical terms used therein. It is worth the effort and will enhance your initial effort's quality. \nAnother helpful tool is the Audio-Video guide on total Health published by the American Health Association. I do not remember the exact title and the publishing firm's address . But Ihave read  and heard the Audio edition. It is a veritable gift for an Indian student wanting to be an MT. Cost then was around fifty dollars.

All positions in the medical field look like they're here to stay.  People are living to older ages, and need medical care.  Medical transcriptionists are necessary support staff, and I think they will be for years to come.

Medical transcription is listening to recordings of medical professionals (doctors, nurse practitioners, etc) which are dictated onto a tape or computer file, and then typing the report of what is dictated.  The report you type then goes into the patient's medical file.  You have to know medical terminology and of course be a good typist.  You use a computer shorthand program that turns abbreviations you create into complete words or phrases, which increases your typing speed greatly.  The small company I work for downloads the dictations to me over the Internet, and I type them and upload them back to the office.  They are then uploaded to the hospital where they are stored in the patients' computerized medical records.  I think using tapes and paper reports is becoming less common.\n\nIn the US, anyone can own their own company.  You can work for yourself as a one person company, or you can employ others.  You would need to file incorporation forms with the state you live in.  The hardest part would be getting customers.  You have to convince the hospital or doctor's office that you are fast, accurate and reliable in getting the reports completed, while charging a competitive rate for your work.

Well, learning to spell correctly would help.  It is important that you be accurate.   \nWhat is......usin or mtdaily?????\nI do my husbands medical transcription.  I also have a cousin, an aunt & a sister-in-law who also do medical transcription from home.  This is a field that will fall by the wayside once the voice recognition software is perfected.  I would not rely on it to be your long term career.  My aunt, cousin & sister-in-law have each lost a physician or more to this new software.  My suggestion is NOT to rely on it for the long term.

You have to be careful of companies who promise you can make a lot of money working from home.  My cousin works at home transcribing notes from Dr's into the patient files.

I am a certified medical transcriptionist and have been practicing for over 15 years. The future is changing because of new technology such as voice recognition, and we need to keep up with the business end of it as well as the medical. Outsourcing is another issue that is "hot" at the moment. It is an exciting time, in my opinion, because there are few qualified transcriptionists/editors who can easily go into the future. That is why I joined the American Association of Medical Transcriptionists about 8 years ago. Send me a message if you want more info.

You've gotten some good advice so far, but I wanted to add this to your list: www.wordtechs.com. These guys helped me with my resume and it had some tricky problems, too. Only cost me a few dollars, and it was done in a couple of days. They could at least offer you good advice.\n\nGood luck!\n~Tia~
