After looking into medical record jobs, I wanted to become a medical transcriptionist because it would allow me to participate in my two favorite things — words and medicine. I love the medical field. I went to college to become a doctor. However, I was unable to complete that major and ultimately graduated with a degree in criminology. My criminology degree allowed me entrance into the legal field where I discovered my love of words and typing. I have been a legal secretary for 17 years and love word processing and formatting documents. Being a medical transcriptionist gives me the opportunity to be on the inside track of the practice of medicine without actually being a doctor and allows me to work with words and formatting. For me, there are two advantages of working in the medical transcription industry. The first advantage is having the ability to use the skills I have learned in the legal field and apply them to working in the medical field. As a legal secretary I regularly transcribe legal documents and format them to fit court standards. In working as a medical transcriptionist, I will be able to use these same skills that I have honed over the past 17 years. The second advantage of working in the medical transcription industry is the great flexibility. There are many medical transcription at home jobs available. I have the option of continuing in my current career and working in transcription part-time. SN:0MA9N2ESY

After I’ve established myself with my future employer, I can begin transcription on a full-time basis and get rid of my daily 3 hour commute. After I’ve worked in this avenue for a few years, I have the option to open my own transcription company. The major advantage of working in medical transcription is that the sky is the limit as to the avenues available to me. The reason I am interested in training with Future MT is because the curriculum seems just as extensive as the training I received at a medical transcription school 10 years ago. I completed an 18-month program 10 years ago and transcribed authentic doctor-dictated reports. I was taught the different formats for the various types of reports and I was taught punctuation and grammar rules. It was very intense training and I enjoyed it. Unfortunately, by the time I finished the program the school was about to go out of business and was unable to provide me with job placement as they had previously advertised. As I read through the materials regarding the Future MT course, it reminded me of the course I had previously taken. I believe Future MT will provide me with the intense refresher course that I need to begin my career as a medical transcriptionist with the advantage of having student support every step of the way. Initially, I would like to successfully complete the Future MT course and eventually gain employment with a major medical transcription company. I plan to work in this area for a maximum of five years to give myself the opportunity to fully learn this field from all aspects. Ultimately, I would like to open my own medical transcription company in the area where I live. The medical field is continually growing, and I would like to be a part of it.
