No, no, please don't. - sm Posted: Aug 19th, 2018 - 11:19 am In Reply to: Was thinking about MT career, now . . . - Rigel
This is a dead career and has zero future. Mass layoffs due to many reasons - EHR, use of in-office and online scribes, voice recognition.
The far distant future for medical documentation is AI. Docs will simply give commands to a computer and it will do as it's told.
For now, though, actual typing is a useless skill. Voice rec editing is what is used mostly, but it's very low pay, IC positions mostly, no benefits, no paid anything.
I entered the field 20 years ago and it was on the decline then. Now it's dead and myself, in my 50s, am holding on by a thread. There's no advancement, no raises, and just feels hopeless.
Don't enter this field. Anything now that is repetitive or production based can be replaced by technology. Seek a field where you can't be replaced by technology.
