Out of the many work at home options out there, medical transcription is pretty popular. It's a great option for people who want to be home with their kids. The pay is good, as are the opportunities.
But it's certainly not for everyone. You really do need to be dedicated to it. You need to enjoy learning the terminology, typing for long hours and puzzling out what sometimes incoherent doctors are saying. It's really not an easy job.
A medical transcriptionist must be comfortable on the computer. While you'll only be using a limited number of programs on it as a transcriptionist, you need to use them well. If you have to stop and think all the time about what you're doing with the programs, it's going to slow your typing down. It will also make it harder for you to take advantage of tools such as word expanders.
You also must be comfortable working at home, with all the distractions and lack of supervision that this implies. This is why I always recommend to potential medical transcriptionists that they train with a quality online program. It gets you used to the working |
