Offices tend to prefer to hire medical students as part of training. I think this is partly due to the fact that a patient is more comfortable with a medical trainee than a "clerk," so to speak. Put yourself in the patient's place. You'd probably feel more comfortable with someone training to be a doctor than a "clerk," so to speak.

Also, it's not really medical transcription the way we know it. You wouldn't be able to transcribe a doctor "live," but you would be entering vital signs, meds, and things like that.

I also heard the pay is very low; last I heard, it was more like $9 per hour, but it may depend on where you live.
