A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry
I am new to MTStars and am currently enrolled as a MT student working toward completing an AAS degree. I am in my 6th quarter and starting to transcribe documents and reports in all the different fields. This week our transcription class discussion was centered around different reference resources and guides and I was wondering what are some of the favorites that are actually used by experienced MTs. I have never worked in a medical profession and making a huge transition after becoming unable to walk and stand to perform my previous career as a hairdresser. I am not afraid to invest in my future and would appreciate some feedback as to what are some of the best techniques for researching unfamiliar terms and words. I am looking forward to any information I can gather here and value your experience and recommendations. Thank you in advance.
