hollister Online Medical Transcription Course The |
|
The question has at least 2 right answers... depending on YOU!
If it's the WRONG move, then taking an Online MedicalTranscription Course (or off line for that matter)
But there's more to this. A local community college can bewrong. We also suggest going to a school where the owners RAN AREAL MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION BUSINESS... preferably one contractedwith a hospital or other large clients with a variety of medicalspecialities.
Should you take an Online Medical Transcription Course?
From our experience, your choice in an Online MedicalTranscription Course should be based on the credentials ofthe owners of the school.
Finally, an Online Medical Transcription Course that'shonest about the difficulty should do PRE-SCREENING ofapplicants.
Let's summarize: Legitimate Online Medical TranscriptionCourses should have these characteristics:
If you're NOT cut out to be a medical transcriptionist, youcould invest $4,000 in books, software, and training (not tomention a brand new computer) and never make a penny doingmedical transcription.
Community colleges tend to be so "image conscious" we were surethey'd never sponsor anything remotely "interesting" or"relevant" to the work at home field if the program weren'tentirely legitimate. In fact we later learned this program wasapproved [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] for retraining people who'd lost factory [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] jobs. Is yourschool state approved for training workers?.
Rest assured though that the owner of an Online MedicalTranscription Course who served large multi-specialtypractices will know how to produce competent transcriptionistswho can live anywhere, work over a DSL line, and make a goodliving. If you hope to do the same, you need THAT kind oftraining and NOTHING LESS!
1. Owners should [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] have a state approved school if possible 2.Owners should have real world experience in a multi-specialtyenvironment 3. Owners should have been frustrated with the"average graduate" of other schools 4. Owners should behonest about the earnings potential 5. Owners should userecognized expert texts not just their own in house publications6. Owners [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] should prescreen applicants to screen out those whowill just be wasting their money.
Yes, if you want a career that can be completely homebased and let you earn up to $30,000 per year (or more)!
This leads me to another point. If a school [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] says you can make$100,000 per year easily... run in the opposite direction asfast as you can.
Some will earn much more... if they have exceptional typingspeed, exceptional hearing, and exceptional desire. Our ownershad some transcriptionists who earned $50,000 to $100,000but that wasn't the norm. Most just wanted a nice, stable incomewith a certain amount of flexibility.
The owners of Renee's school had the air of professionalismabout them. They didn't dodge questions. They had plenty of "warstories" about the field and [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] were honest about the earningspotential.
The answers are:
Chuck & Renee Huckaby publish an page related to that goes intothese and other issues regarding being a medicaltranscriptionist more deeply and welcome your visit.
When Renee chose a school, she chose one where the ownersconducted a free orientation at our local community college.Even though the couse was entirely online, it was sponsored bythe community college.
There are many Medical Transcription schools online and off linethat turn out a completely inferior transcriptionist.
While it's ok for schools to use their "in house" text books,for the most part, the texts studied and software used should be"off the shelf" commercial grade software and recognized medicaltexts. In the real world, you will need to upgrade software getnew books as new medicines come out, etc. You can't rely on anysingle school to be expert in all the fields you'll need [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] tomaster as a transcriptionist so - like a college - a greatOnline Medical Transcription Course should show you wereto get current expert resources in the "real world". Schoolsonly use 100% proprietary curriculum to maximize their ownprofits. You should be able to buy your materials somewherebesides the school to make sure you're getting [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] the best dealtoo.
To be safe, "on average" according to the Bureau of LaborStatistics, medical transcriptionists earn [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] around $30,000 peryear.
Why? Medical Transcription requires [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] as much pure knowledge asany other medical field. One complaint my wife heard was afellow student saying "I thought I'd just be typing, not have togo to medical school!" But, really, it's like going to medicalschool [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] for 3 to 12 months depending on whether you're full timeor part time and how hard you'll work. No slackers need show up!This is not [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] a nice slow paced typing job. It's a critical timesensitive component of the medical field with quick, 99.9%accuracy required! Many will not pass the test and [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] you shouldtest yourself to see if you will LOVE doing this work or failout because you're really bored by it all! No school will turnaway people who insist on paying, but some effort should be madeto make people understand the magnitude of the task ahead!
It's one thing to type for a single, slow speaking, courteousphysician in one specialty. It's another thing entirely to typefor 50 doctors from New York City who come from 10 differentcountries and represent 20 different specialties!
No, if it's the WRONG career move for [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] you.
So when the owners were endorsed by working with our communitycollege, we were fairly certain their Online MedicalTranscription Course was "for real". If you're just taking acourse without such a local [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] endorsement, you may want toinvestigate DOUBLY HARD.
So, for better or for worse, I'm going to try to tell you how todecide if an Online Medical Transcription Course is rightfor you.
Orientations, pre-study assessments, sample lessons etc. shouldbe required.
In other words, such schools are good at taking yourmoney but not producing qualified trainees.
