Business Idea For Mom: Medical Transcription by
Charissa BearWhat to do? What to do? There are so many options available
for mothers who want to become work-at-home-moms (WAHMs). They key is
to find something that you enjoy and that will suit your situation.Some
people like direct sales; whereas others prefer to not only work out of
their home but also to work in their home. If you fall into the latter
category, then perhaps you may want to consider a career as a medical
transcriptionist..
While approximately four out of ten transcriptionists work at hospitals
and doctor's offices, there is also plenty of work that can be performed
in the comforts of your own home. You can telecommute from your home office
as an employee, a subcontractor or even as an independent freelance medical
transcriptionist.Almost always you will find that employers prefer medical
transcriptionists who have completed a postsecondary training program
at a vocational school or community college. If you do not have this type
of background or training, there are a number of options to acquire the
necessary knowledge, skills and abilities..
If you do an internet search on "medical transcription" you
will see a large number of results. There are more than a few self study
training programs available. Just make sure you exercise due diligence
when selecting a training program.Typically you can expect to pay in the
neighborhood of $1,000 for a course. You may be able to find some for
less and also for more. Included in your curriculum will be a series of
text, workbooks, reference guides and audio tapes. Plan to spend a chunk
of time in the books learning the terminology before you will ever begin
to transcribe.It is important to note that while it is relatively easy
to study the text with small children around, it is not as effortless
practice transcribing when you have young ones to care for..
You must have an extremely quiet environment in which to hear and understand
the person dictating. If you have children who should not be left unattended,
then focusing with headphones on may not be the best idea.At home medical
transcription is a great career for mothers who have babies who sleep
often or older school aged children.click
