I would like to become a medical transcriptionist because I feel like I would be able to remain in the medical field without having to do the everyday patient care. I have medical issues that have hindered me from continuing on my path of becoming a nurse. I am recovering from back surgery done earlier this year and I have not been authorized to return to work. This back surgery was done because of degenerative discs. I feel that if I could do medical transcription at home. I would be able to do the work every day without the constraints of being in an office setting. I love to type and currently type 80 WPM and feel that I could help a doctor or other medical facilities by transcribing what they have dictated in a timely manner. Being as I am unable to return to the work force out in the community I believe that I would be able to use my expertise in medical terminology as well as anatomy and physiology to expedite the transcription process.
Some of the advantages of getting into the medical transcription industry are that I am able to work from my own home. I would have the ability to do some work and if I needed to get up for a few minutes to stretch or because of back pain I would be able to do so without any hesitation. Another advantage would be that I could go with my husband to medical appointments as he is disabled without having to worry about having to take personal time off of work to do it. The main advantage for me is that I would still be working in the medical profession which I love. Since my medical problems started I have not been able to work in the nursing homes or hospitals because I can no longer do the direct patient care.
With being a medical transcriptionist I would still be able to keep all of the medical terms and procedures fresh in my mind and use them to help the physicians have the information in a timely manner. Some of the reasons why I would like to train with Future MT are because I have researched at home medical transcription jobs and the Future MT’s site explained everything about the profession. There were different tabs readily accessible for me to go into and have all of my questions answered. After reading the information on the site I feel like this is definitely is a career that I would thoroughly enjoy doing for many years to come. SN:0MA9N2ESY
A benefit that I find very interesting and glad to see is that there is support that I can go to if I need it for any reason. As well I found a great benefit is that there are employment guarantees that would help me to find a job once I have finished the course. Some of the future goals that I have in the MT industry are first, that I will be able to work hard to make sure pass the course without any problem. Once I do pass this course and start working in the field I will find out what I would need to do in order to become certified as this will help even more with that employer as well as any other that may be interested in my skills. Once I am certified I can then network myself on different web sites so that I am able to recruit more doctors or facilities for me to work with.
