Thanks for a great site. Just wanted to mention to anyone who’s interested, you can try http://www.findtranscriptionwork.com as a source of work. It’s a free site that displays lots of transcription jobs, and for some of them you don’t need to be qualified. You can also add your resume for free.

I just attended the seminar for at home professions. I would like to complete the program, but I just want to make sure it is a real school. I don’t want to spend the money and the time if it is a hoax. You said you also attended the seminar. Is it something that you would recommend? If I did finish the program from there is it accredited enough to where I can find a job?I am a pastry chef and would like to do this as a second job. From the information that I was given this seems like it could be something I could do and be successful at while having another job. Thank you for your time.

Paul, your information is spot on. I am a 15-year veteran medical transcriptionist, so I know a thing or two about medical transcription. The top three schools are Career Step, Andrews, and MTec. AHDI approval is important. I also recommend The VLC School of Medical Transcription which is also AHDI approved.

I heard about At-Home Professions when I first became interested in becoming a medical transcriptionist. I attended a local seminar. I opted instead to research other avenues of education as I felt the cost was exorbitant. I took classes at a local junior college and received the education I needed for a fraction of the cost.

I realize people may want to accelerate their learning and not take the route I did. That’s fine. However, retaining the information is important. Learning medical transcription is not something that can be done that quickly. Hours and hours of transcribing is necessary to train the brain. By that I mean coordinating movements of the feet and hands all the while taking in the information aurally and putting it in proper sentence structure while typing.

I can personally tell you that medical transcription is a great field. I work from home. I call my own shots. But that is based on the fact that I have a great reputation in the community and people seek me out for work. That takes time to build up as well, through networking, teaching, volunteering, helping others (offering solutions to problems)without expecting anything in return.

Regards to you, Paul, for your great work. Thank you for your accurate reporting on medical transcription.
