RP seen needing 32,000 medical transcription workers by 2010MANILA, Philippines -- The country's medical transcription industry needs to increase its workforce threefold to increase its share of the total offshore market valued at around $18 billion.According to the Medical Transcription Industry Association of the Philippines (MTIAPI), local companies have missed out on lucrative contracts from US outsourcers due to a lack of capacity.MTIAPI is composed of around 80 medical transcription or MT service providers, mostly small companies with 50 or fewer seats."Until a critical capacity of qualified workforce is established, the country will have a hard time attracting interests from big US clients," said MTIAPI president Myla Rose Mundo-Reyes."Our role will be mainly third-party subcontract

Some people think that medical transcriptionists are just "typists" and that anyone who can type can do medical transcription. This is far from the truth.Medical terminology is like a second language and you need to know it to transcribe medical reports. There are many abbreviations and sound alikes in MT work that someone untrained in the field will just not know.In some cases if you have worked in a medical atmosphere you might be able to become a transcriptionist without extensive training but even then you would benefit from at least a medical terminology course.You need to think of medical transcription as a career and not just a job so therefore you will need some schooling just as you would in any career.Don't take shortcuts. Get the schooling and become a medical transcriptionist. (I highly recommend it.)Have a great day!Marilyn RobertsMedical Transcriptionist
Medical transcription is tagged as the next bright spot after the call center boom. From nine companies in 2001, the industry has grown to 40 this year. Data from industry group Medical Transcription Industry Association of the Philippines, Inc. (MTIAPI) showed that the country is taking in less than one percent of the United States [...]
BEGINNING MT REQUIREMENTS1. You must be able to type! If you don't know how to type or you have not typed for some years, then you need to get a typing program and start learning and practising. Some of the jobs require a certain speed starting at least at 60 wpm and up. For a new medical transcriptionist quality is much more important than quantity (yes, you do need to spell those drugs correctly) but, your speed will pick up as you do more and more work. 2. Take a medical transcription course! I truly don't know how someone can do it without a course, maybe someone already working in a medical facility and already familiar with the medical terms could do it, but the average person needs specialized knowledge for this type of work. There are many medical transcription schools out there. Start researching them and find one that suits you financially and academically.3. I have only worked for clinics. Hospital transcription might require a more advanced course.
MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION CERTIFICATIONA lot of new MT's believe that when they graduate from a medical transcription course that the certificate they receive for completing the course makes them a CMT (certified medical transcriptionist). This is not true. Some of the eligibility requirements for becoming a CMT are:· You must have two years of actual medical transcription experience in acute care or the equivalent. Acute care includes ESL's (English as a second language), many different report types and all of the major and some of the minor specialities.· You will take the AAMT (American Association for Medical Transcription) CMT exam that consists of medical transcription knowledge and performance items. There are testing centers where you will go to take your test. Check with AAMT for their specific guidelines and fee for the testing. · Your certification is valid for three years. After that time you must recertify by paying a recertification fee and e
Well, the doctors I type for are back from vacation so I will be having more transcription to do today. It is nice to not have to get dressed or leave the house to make money. I have a WAV pedal so I am connected with the clinic. I can just download my transcription from my doctors, type it, then download it to their desktops. I even have my paycheck mailed to me so I never have to leave the house. Today I will also be working on the second page of my new novel. At this rate it will take a year to finish it but I don't care as long as I do finish it. I am also going to be writing another article on medical transcription for my home business site, then I am going to write another article on real estate for my other web site. My goal is to have 100 articles on each web site. I am also going to try to buy an orange juice put in the commodities market. That is a very risky business but I seem to have a knack for it and I am making some money at it. Usually in commodities tradin
When I first started medical transcription I would go and pick up tapes from the doctors and transcribe them at home on a transcription machine and put them on a floppy disk and the next morning take the disk and tapes back to the clinic and pick up new ones.Eventually my clinic started using dictation which could be transcribed via a WAV pedal. Now all I do is log into the clinic and download the doctor's voice dictation and transcribe using the WAV pedal to hear the doctor's dictation.Using the WAV pedal allows me to transcribe for transcription companies and clinics anywhere in the US. Now I never have to leave the house at all. I even have them mail my pay check. This is what I call really working at home.
The question I am asked most often by new medical transcriptionists is how to get their first job. You have probably been told to call the hospitals and clinics in your area or write them a letter about getting a job. Also to place ads in the newspaper and read the ads in the newspaper and to contact medical transcription companies to see if they are hiring inexperienced MTs. All of those things can work if you persist and don't give up, but recently I had a new MT emailing me about getting a job and I told her about all of the things above and then I told her to be sure to go to the MT forums such as MT Desk and ask there about who is hiring new MTs. She finally did that and in less than two weeks she had a job. There are more transcription companies hiring inexperienced MTs than there once was. You wouldn't be starting out at a very high rate of pay but as your experience builds so will your pay. The MT forums will know who those companies are. You can also network with oth
Well, I got my articles written and got an account with Article Marketer, but when I tried to put my articles in to get them distributed in the directories, they kept coming back with a formatting error. I have tried and tried to fix it but can't figure it out so I can't submit them yet until I learn how to submit them. So I was at the Warrior Forum and saw a WSO by James B. Allen to write and submit 2 articles for me, also he will bookmark my site on some social networking sites, and make some directory submissions for me. So my medical transcription site might actually start being seen. I am very excited. I am still having a lot of medical transcription work but that is what is financing getting my website up and running so I shouldn't begrudge the hours I spend at the keyboard doing transcription when I would rather be working on my web site. Now I can sit back a little and see if I will get any results from James' efforts.
I have put my web site in 38 directories now. I am also ready to submit 5 articles to directories. So my plan is on the way. I will need a lot of relevant back links before my site is really going to be noticed. I have really been busy this week with medical transcription. It seems like everyone is sick or just getting flu shots. My doctors are busy so therefore I am also, although I would rather work on my web site. My commodies trading is looking good. Waiting for orange juice to fall and also sugar. I did really well with sugar as I have been bearish for a long time. It is getting harder to hang in there waiting for OJ to come down, I might have to liquidate some options and get some new ones. I am hardly finding time to write on my book but I will keep chugging away page by page and hopefully by the end of next summer I will have a book. I am thinking about getting back into real estate again also. That is a very profitable business. So much to do, so little time! I
There are a lot of medical transcription schools out there, so how do you know which one to choose, which one has the best program, which one will help you get a job when you graduate.Some of the things you want to look for in choosing a school are:1. Do they have a good support staff?2. Do they have a good program for medical terminology?3. Do they focus on medical specialities?4. Do they teach style and grammar essentials?5. Do they offer good training on human anatomy, physiology and disease processes?6. Do they offer good training on abbreviations, plurals, and word differentiating?Do a thorough research before you sign up for a medical transcription course. Ask about schools on MT forums. You will get pros and cons on the schools. If you find the top schools too expensive you could take your course through a school such as Career Step at http://www.homecareerinfo.com/0109. They have different payment plans and are one of the top medical transcription schools. Take your time
This is for the beginner medical transcriptionist just to show you some of the abbreviations I use most every day when transcribing my doctor's dictation.One thing that scared me about becoming an MT was typing drug prescriptions. I had no medical background so I was not sure I would be able to do it. But I discovered that after awhile medical terminology became a second language and the more you did it the better you got. Some of the most common abbreviations for drugs and prescriptions are:p.o. - by mouthq.d. - every dayq.h. - every hourq.h.s. - each bedtime, every nightb.i.d. - two times a dayt.i.d. - three times a dayq.i.d. - four times a dayp.r.n. - as neededq.4 h. - every four hoursq.2 h. - every two hoursSo a prescription for 1 p.o. q.d. p.r.n. would mean 1 by mouth every day as needed. A prescription for 2 p.o. b.i.d. would mean 2 by mouth two times a day.Keeping up with new drug names can be challenging. My doctors will usually spell new drug names for a few days until I g
I have now started a Squidoo lens on medical transcription. It is at www.squidoo.com/mj-dailyblogspotcom/My Squidoo has a great link to Cafe Press which has some really neat medical transcription items. I didn't even know you could get MT things like that. I am getting me a T-shirt and a plaque for my office. It's all teddybears but they will lighten my working day when trying to understand some difficult doctors and I can look up and see my teddybear medical transcription plaque. Sometimes it takes a little levity to get through some of my transcription.I have been pretty lucky in the docs that I transcribe for most. No ESL's and they all dictate pretty well. I find the hardest things to transcribe are when they are talking non-medical and I can't look it up. Just ordinary conversation they seem to fly over and it is hard to understand. That is when I leave the most blanks.Whenever someone asks me if I am worried about my docs going to something like Dragon Naturally Spea
