Radiology and pathology experience

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'd like to hear anything regarding how well radiology does with EMR. Thanks in advance. ...

I work in the path department and when a malignant case comes up that requires a CAP, I defer to the CAP summary. The docs dictate "lymphovascular . . ." but the CAP summaries will have "lymph-vascular . . ." The problem is today I was checking the CAP protocol for the Lung CA and the word was used both ways. In the actual protocol itself, there was the hyphenated version as a header, i.e., but then in the explanatory notes at the end of the protocol there' ...

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 realize it's a matter of opinion and just like all other transcription would take time to adjust. I'm g ...

Of course, then there ...
