"It's really just shining a flashlight on outstanding small businesses," said Brent Inscoe, director of small business marketing communications for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
So You Want to Be an MT?
You want to learn more about the field. Just exactly what does a medical transcriptionist do, anyway? You think working at home would be nice. You hear they make really good money...
The skill set required for a successful career in medical transcription is very vast. It is more than knowing terminology. It is more than simply being a good typist. Those who have been successful in the field for many years enjoy the benefits of being challenged by both knowledge and deadlines. Those who work from home have learned the discipline skills necessary to pull this off.
But what is it all about? Can you really believe all the things you read about working at home as an MT?
It has been our experience that the main reason students do not successfully complete their courses or our internship programs is that they were unsure of what they were getting into. The “real world” of medical transcription was never explained to them, and many felt cheated, having put time and effort into a career that ends up not being what they expected. At ELTS, we want you to know exactly what it is to be a transcriptionist, and we want you to know it ahead of time.
Three main questions must be answered before enrolling in any transcription program, and we have addressed these below. The following information has been compiled to help you make intelligent decisions about pursuing a career in medical transcription...ahead of time.
