I have been doing banking for more that 5 year and I want to try something new. I would like to work at a hospital, but I have not idea how to start looking for a job there. I have a medical terminology certificate and I am currently a Biology student. What kind of job could I get with my experience?

range for your particular skills and degrees can be medical transcriptionist, medical assistant (where you can obtain pertinent history for doctors prior to being seen by doctor), medical billing (can identify particular signs/symptoms listed by doctor's notes and bill the insurance accordingly), even a pharmacutical rep (gotta know the basis of how the medication works and particular medical terminology).

The training as a medical assistant in the US is as a person who performs some minor health care screening tasks in the clinic, which can be taught to any person who walks in off the street. The value of a trained MA in the US is the knowledge of Billing, Medical Coding, Insurance Billing, Safety, Medical Office Management, Medical Terminology and Medisoft program. France has a socialized government supported medical system. The billing & coding would be completely diffeent. They do not have our OSHA or Joint Commision for the Accreditiation of Health Care Organizations, so the safety rules would be different. If your sister doesn't speak french, and cannot translate the medical terms to French her terminology knowledge would not be very helpful, and they really don't teach enough Latin to MAs to make them internationally funtional. While the use of computers would be helpful, theirs would be in French. Not wanting to stretch out a point, but you can see why this occupational skill, useful in the US, is not a skill which can be transferred easily outside the US. It is not like a nursing skill where the practice concepts are essentially the same, but the paperwork and language would be the issue.

I know I took a course in college called medical terminology for speech-langauge pathology. Most schools that have a nursing program or allied health school should have one. Check out a local community college or community enrichment program. If you have no luck there head to the library! Good luck!

alot of doctor's will out source their medical transcribing to private individuals or firms. the doctor makes audio notes, sends you the audio file, and then you listen to and transcribe all his/her medical records, then send them back typed. i know alot of dotors do this. a plastic surgery and ENT practice i worked for while i was in college did this and actually a friends wife is also doing this noW
hospital are usually hiring poeple with previous experience transcribing for their medical records department. my mom and both my aunts have done transcribing for years. recently my mom and one of my aunts retired but the other is going on like 28 years. i know for a fact all three of them can type at way over 100 words per minute. my mom took a typing test on the computer and it had a hard time even keeping up with her., so i would say that strong typing skills along with a super high wpm ability

You might find a job as a medical transcriptionist, either in a hospital or in a doctor's office.
Good luck.
