Medical Transcriptionists is a medical job that requires no math.
A medical transcriptionist is a medical job that requires the least math involved and is an interesting although challenging career path which requires skills like being able to concentrate intently and also have solid knowledge of healthcare.
Medical transcriptionists which are also sometimes referred to as healthcare documentation specialists, use electronic devices to convert voice recordings from physicians and other healthcare workers into formal reports.
The medical transcriptionists also may edit medical records for accuracy and return documents for review and approval.
In general It takes anywhere from six months to two years to become a medical transcriptionist, depending on whether you enroll in a medical transcriptionist certificate program or an associate degree program.
Aside from gaining your education and/or on-the-job training, it will also take some time to apply for and find a job.
The work as a medical transcriptionist is hard and must be precise.
Audio files are not always clear of background noise and are often hard to transcribe; doctors who vocally record their notes for a transcriptionist don't always think about the person transcribing what they say.
An Associate's Degree with a concentration in medical transcription also qualifies as an acceptable form of certification to become a medical transcriptionist.
On average, an Associate's Degree takes twice as long to complete as a certification program offered by one of the state's accredited post-secondary schools.
The cost of medical transcription training varies by program.
A one-year online medical transcription certificate can cost as little as $2,000.00, while a degree may cost several thousand dollars more.
The average medical transcriptionist salary exceeds $34,000.00 per year.
