COMPETENCY-BASED
Finding the right medical transcription school may be the most important decision you will make in your career. This may seem like a bold statement - especially since, at first glance all medical transcription schools look pretty much the same. But nothing could be further from the truth. There are really only a few medical transcription schools that are truly competency-based. That is, schools that prepare you to get a job upon graduation.
DIPLOMA MILLS
Oh, don't worry, there are plenty of "diploma mills" out there. The problem is that in this business, a diploma is not what matters. The only thing that matters is whether you can perform the work. And the only way to learn to do the work is to enroll in a top-flight medical transcription school. Taking shortcuts on a fast track to a diploma is a total waste of time and money. Too many people find this out the hard way and it is a very costly mistake, indeed.
Whats in your Electronic Medical Record? In the age of the internet and rapid developments of information technology, the way we view, edit, and exchange documents is changing and becoming more and more advanced. The medical world is no exception to this as medical records are now becoming known as electronic medical records or EMRs. If you are one who is somewhat unfamiliar with electronic medical records, then this article is for you.

MYTH OF NO OPPORTUNITY
Unfortunately, most people who make that mistake become completely discouraged and disillusioned and just give up, assuming that there is no real opportunity for a career in medical transcription. When the reality is that there are hundreds of unfilled medical transcription job vacancies every day of the year. Right now the medical transcription industry is literally begging for new talent. But medical transcription companies need people that can produce, not people that require a lot of handholding and mentoring.
CONVENIENCE
One aspect you will want to consider in finding the right MTS for you is convenience. Some vocational and community colleges offer MT programs. The obvious challenge there is travel time and arranging your schedule to fit theirs. One great benefit for going the home-study route is that you can study whenever YOUR schedule allows. For many stay-at-home moms, this is a very, very big advantage.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Medical MalpracticeMany people may not realize that medical malpractice is a real
and ever growing problem. People die everyday from wrong
diagnoses and incorrect treatments. The problem is that most of
these cases are private and many are never reported. A lot of
the population does not know enough about medical practices to
know when they are faced with a malpractice problem. They are
forced to take the word of the doctor and staff at hand. This
may explain why only a small number of claims are filed for
malpractice suits and only about half of them actually win the
lawsuit.
