Information for Making Medical Transcription Your Career!
- Who am I?
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 went from being a high school graduate with a series of low paying jobs, and even some time on unemployment, to becoming a professional with a stable and well-paying career.
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’ve been transcribing for several years now, and there’s several ways to get into the industry as well as several websites that can probably help. I wrote an article on it (link below). You can get a hold of me through that link also if you have any further questions. Good luck!

I wouldn’t pursue it unless you’re sincerely interested in medical transcription, enough that you’d be willing to do it in an office. It’s not a quick learn, and a lot of folks end up heartbroken trying to become good at a job they in which they were never interested in the first place. The working conditions are wonderful, but it takes a long time to become proficient enough to make decent money.
Don’t let the "work-at-home" thing color your decision. It could seriously detract from your quality of life.
As previously answered, you will have a difficult time finding a job even if you have graduated from a reputable medical transcription education program. Employers may hire graduates from some schools without experience, so the school you select will make a difference. Very few transcription services or doctors offices are willing to train someone with no education in medical transcription and no experience.
