Your Guide to a Medical Transcription Career

Medical transcriptionists play a vital role on any health care team and enjoy an in-demand medical career offering work environments ranging from a busy hospital to their own home computers.

Physicians and other health care professionals dictate their reports, correspondence, and other documents, then forward it to a reliable and efficient medical transcriptionist.

What Training and Skills Do You Need?

While this career may sound simple – typing up medical records – you cannot take the required training lightly. A mistake made by a medical transcriptionist could lead to the patient receiving harmful or ineffective treatment.

You will need an associate degree from a vocational school, community college, or online program. You do not need to become a Certified Medical Transcriptionist (CMT), however many employers prefer it.

Required skills for a medical transcription career include:

• Fast and accurate audio typing
• Knowledge of grammar and punctuation
• Understanding of medical terminology, anatomy, diagnostic procedures, pharmacology,
treatment assessments, and the legal and ethical issues surrounding medical reports
• Good listening skills
• Ability to edit for clarity, mistakes, and inconsistencies

Experience and additional training can lead to supervisory positions or a career in medical records, medical coding, or as a health information technician or administrator.

Benefits of Being a Medical Transcriptionist

• Higher pay than traditional typing jobs, with starting hourly earnings of $13.75 and
those at the higher end earning up to $19.87 or more
• Ability to work from home as an independent contractor and set your own hours
• Faster than average job growth, meaning more job opportunities and increased demand for
skilled transcriptionists
• Comfortable work environments

These benefits attract many to a medical transcription career. Your education and training can take as little as one year, and you can be on your way to decent earnings and a range of job prospects.

The synthesis of RNA is called transcription because it is simply the copying of DNA "language" into RNA. Like the transcription of spoken language into written language, the units of information (nucleotides in nucleic acids, words in speech and writing) are the same.
