Whatever your personal reasons for considering a career change, medical transcription has much to offer.

As you'll learn as you read through this site, the earnings and benefits are excellent, the hours are great, the demand is high, (especially the demand for Nurse MT's), and best of all, you already have most of the training.

Choosing a career in medical transcription will allow you to enjoy the convenience of working at home while continuing to utilize the medical education you invested in.

Medical transcriptionists are responsible for accurately transcribing medical reports, including chart notes, history and physical examinations, consultation letters, operative reports, emergency room reports, diagnostic reports, and discharge summaries.

"Accuracy" is not necessarily limited to careful transcription of the dictation. Accuracy frequently requires transcription of what the physician meant to say, rather than what was actually dictated. This is why medical transcriptionists need to know more than mere terminology, and it is the reason why transcription services are eager to hire Nurse MT's.

The medical transcription business is based on productivity. Both the MT and the transcription service she works for are paid according to output, so both accuracy and speed are vital.

You may be surprised by some of the information contained in this site. MT-STAT is not just a job placement service. We train you on the proper way to transcribe with the new technology of digital transcription as well as other aspects of going from a Nurse to a Medical Transcriptionst. We work closely with employers and focus on the business side of medical transcription.

While training is presented as its own reward in most courses, we consider training to be the means to an end: successful employment. We focus on what top employers want and what is required to earn a good living, rather than the "fascination" of medicine. Consequently, our perspective is different from that of most training vendors and we place a lot of emphasis on developing strong transcription skills.
