Introduction to Medical Transcription

Long hours, difficult patients, patronizing doctors and office politics can all lead to job burnout. Alternatively, maybe you just want to earn more money, or want to work at home so you can raise your children yourself.  Whatever your personal reasons for considering a career change, medical transcription has much to offer.

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

"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 the medical transcriptionist needs to know more than mere terminology, and it is the reason why transcription services are eager to hire Nurse MTs.  

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 on this site. MTStat is not 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 Transcriptionist. 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.

This site will be most informative if you follow the pages in the order they are presented on the site menu.
