Career and Networking Thread for MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION

[daphine]

how about the pay?
and are there companies which allow you to work from your
house?

[daphine]

btw...i've read two schools offering mt courses-informedics and
mt academy.
does anyone out there know about these schools?halos pareho lang yung tuition fees nila so i don't know which to pick.

also,one of them mentions na affiliated sila with a mt company in the states so that eventually they'll train you to get jobs directly from clients in the states while working in your house...
is this possible?is this recommended?
help?!
thanks.

the only two MT schools ive known are MTC Academy in Cubao and AAMT in ortigas... ganun talaga ang TF nila lalo na pag inde ka medical graduate....ang alam ko 6 months ata training nila plus may OJT pa...yung mga ganito kasi usually they have affiliations sa mga MT company dito sa pinas na right after mong matrain, they will refer you to those companies affiliated with them...sa ngayon, pinakauso eh yung hometrans, sa haws ka lang magwowork yung iba naman eh nag eedit... kung balak mo mag train sa AAMT na lang.. maganda daw kasi

kewl: talagang pinopromote yung site ha

Hi Peeps -

May oppurtunity ba for part time MT? Im still working as an IT Programmer Analyst, pero Im planning to go back to school for a nursing degree.... Di nalang kasi ako sanay na walang work...

Sana meron? better kung sa Libis...

[icecode]

Any MTs in here? How much are you paid? Basic lang ba yung salary? I'm a Med.Tech graduate but I'm also considering on entering this field. How's the work? Please, feedbacks naman.

Most of the companies offering this job is using recorded voice. Do you know of a company that has transcription jobs but process medical records via scanned or faxed copied documents?

Thank you in advance.

no idea

about the salary, most of the companies right now offer minimun salary unless you have experience for at least 1 yr.

right now, there are a lot of MT schools offering a training course for those non-medical and medical grads who wanted to pursue their careers as medical trancriptionist.
