I want to learn pathology and radiology transcription

I have been a radiology transcriptionist for about 12 years. I am presently unemployed. I have seen an ad on one of the job sites for a pathology transcriptionist with 1 year experience. My question is how different/difficult is pathology transcription. Should it be something a radiology transcriptionist can do, given I have 15 years experience but 12 in rad work. Do you think it would be something I could pick up without difficulty? Any information and input would be appreciated. I have been ou ...

I am a certified MT that has done radiology for 19 years, acute care for 3 years. I am being offered a position in pathology transcription.

I just found a local hospital advertising for a path and lab transcription job and am considering applying, but I've never done that type of transcription. I've done numerous others, radiology, hospital, surgical, clinic, etc., but it has been a few years as lately I have been doing clinic work only. Is pathology/laboratory transcription difficult? I realize it's a matter of opinion and just like all other transcription would take time to adjust. I'm g ...

I am about to start a new in-house path transcription job for a laboratory. I did transcription for about 6 years up until I quit last spring. My specialties then were ortho and PT, so I have no experience in pathology. The new company is well aware of this and is willing to train and be patient with me learning on the job. Even so, I am so very nervous as I know this is a whole different ballgame with terminology. They do autopsies as well. Are there sites I should read up on or dictionaries th ...

I have 18 years experience in acute care transcription in just about everything except "pathology transcription." I have done a lot of ops of all kinds, oncology, neurology, cardiology, infectious disease, etc. Is Pathology transcription that different? I've done tumor staging, chemo protocols, just about any type of EEG, TEE, cath, radiology, etc. The reason I'm asking is I saw a job for a "Pathology transcriptionist" and I really believe I'm qualified with my knowledge, ...

Does anyone know of any companies seriously looking for Radiology transcriptionists. I constantly see openings for Acute Care transcriptionists, and try as I might, they want someone with recent experience in Acute Care. Tired of getting doors slammed in my face or no replies.

There has been an obvious decrease in medical transcriptionist positions being advertised where I live. However, I tend to see openings for radiology transcriptionists at the local hospitals.

I was wondering how much per report that radiology transcription job posted over on the Job Seeker's Board is going to pay. Only 40 reports a day, which really aren't many reports. I hope they are going to have to pay at least $2.50 and up per report. I am rather leery, as the amount per report wasn't posted and they pay monthly. :/ ...

It is just me or does it seems as if the transcription third party companies are focused more on acute care transcription than any other specialty. I have been a radiology transcriptionist for over 20 years. The company I worked for decided to eliminate 13 of us F/T transcriptionists since they converted to VR system and they kept a few aboard. Apparently the radiologists are being trained to edit their own reports. That being said, I'm searching high and low for a F/T position for a radiol ...

Hello all. I am a very experienced acute care MT, 13 yrs in the business, all specialties, ESLs, all work types, etc. I have been wanting to get out of the MTSOs for quite some time. I was recently offered an in-office job at a radiology center for part front-office work and part radiology transcription. I was very clear to them that I had no specific training in either, but they actually hired me. I am tickled pink. I think my acute care experience helped in terms ...

Just got an e-mail today that we have to learn new accounts with new account specifics, in addition to working on our present account. They are sending our present account to India, but still keeping some of it. I don't know which would be easier - volunteering for a new account or learning DEP. I was told that if we start to type on DEP, they will have to send us a new computer with new programs, because we can't have Cornerstone and DEP on the same computer (probably). I did a ...
