Ok. I already have my own business (bookstore) but I'm interested in the idea of learning medical transcription so I could bring my work home with me. I am very familiar with medical terminolgy and I type fairly fast (60wpm) so does anyone in this field know where should I start? Any good books to recommend? Thank you!

I was trained as a medical transcriptionist many years ago. If you feel your knowledge of medical terminology is adequate to qualify you to work as a medical transcriptionist; if your spelling is near perfect; your hearing and recognition of recorded words are very good, then you could begin to plan what you will be charging your clients for your work. At first, you could advertise your business by posting job notices at your local hospital, medical school, dental school, etc. in your area. At first, I would not take on more than a single piece of work at a time ... mainly just to see how long it takes you to finish. When you feel comfortable, take on 2 projects at a time, etc. until you learn your "comfort zone." You could possibly work on college thesis papers if you have a college or junior college close by that would help you in between projects. Best of luck.

Hi my sister did Medical Assistant while in High School she really liked it but after a while got tired of it. I personally think it is a very good career but you should spend a bit more time on your education 9 months only makes it a tech program. Become a professional! It is a lot more rewarding. But Medical Assisting is a great way for you to get a peak in to the medical field. Congratulations!

Hi I'm a transcriptionist (medical and general) and I'm set up as an independent contractor working from home (virtual assistant), so I have many clients. I found heaps of info on the site below in the transcription section on starting up, finding clients, etc.

One of my friends did some on-line training which did not work out for her. She was not able to find a job.
Another friend found a place that offerred training and an internship for 1 year after successful completion of the program. (She did not finish the program, though).
