Working from home as a Medical Transcriptionist?

Question

I will graduate in June 2008 from an AAMT approved school with a certificate in medical transcription. I plan to work from home and I'm wondering if they're any books, besides the ones I already have, that will be useful. The books I have are: Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary, AAMT Book of Style for Medical Transcription, Saunders Pharmaceutical Word Book, Annotated Medical Surgical Word Book, and Pronunciation List. I also have the foot pedal. What other materials would you recommend? Thanks.

Answer 1

Work at home medical transcription jobs normally go to people with at least a couple years of medical transcription experience working in an office or medical facility, not people just out of school. You might have to find a job in a med facility for awhile before you can find an in-home job.
