A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry
Hi, I hope you don't mind a visitor from the outside
I'm here because I need to change careers. I'm 59 , female, single, and have done one career all my life which has been clinical social work/mental health counseling.
I'm burned out with this career and alot has indicated that medical transcription might suit me.
Where do I begin?
What training do I need?
Do I need training at all? (this may sound dumb)
What schools are the best? Online versus on campus?
Do any schools guarantee placement after graduation?
Is there grant or scholarship money available for a senior single female?
Is there a job market for this field now? Of course, I know our economy is making everything tough.
I have to change careers . Mine is no longer healthy for me. I'm presently out on disability because of this.
I'd appreciate any guidance any of you may have to offer. Thank you so much!
