Hi everyone and welcome to my site!
My name is Kate Delaney and I'm from Illinois. I created this site to share my story about how I made a mid-life career change that changed my life.

I found the training, financial aid, and even job placement help all online. Now, I don't have a job; I have a career! I'm a Medical Transcriptionist and I love it! Read my story.
Check out the company that made my dreams come true.

I went through an MT school online and was working when I graduated. I love it and am so glad I made this choice.
its very repetitive and with some doctors it is hard to understand what they are saying so you have to be careful. i went through a medical assisting course and i definitely prefer a more hands on job but transciption is good for working at home.
Medical transcription is a very rewarding career, but you have to be very accurate and very skilled with typing and listening to audio sources. It is also in an often very solitary environment, so if you like working with people, this is the wrong field for you to go into.
The simplest definition of Transcription is conversion of voice to electronic text form. Medical Transcription is an IT enabled service that requires specialized skills in utilizing Information technology in converting the voice data of the doctors who are in the US, consisting of patient history and medical advises into electronic documents. Medical transcription is one of the fastest-growing professions in the country today, notifies the U.S. Department of Labor. It is ranked #14 in the top 25 professions and is ranked as a #1 home based career. The continuous growing demand for medical transcriptionists is attributed to a growing and aging population. Older age groups receive greater numbers of medical tests, procedures, etc. This growing demand is also spurred by the need for electronic documentation that can be easily accessed by providers, third-party payers, consumers, etc.
