I am an R. N., but not familiar with this term, but I see no one has answered you after several hours.  So, I was thinking, if you are working in  hospital, call the nursing unit where the pt. is and ask the nurses, or if you are in an out pt. facility, call the dr's office, and ask his nurse there.  Good Luck

It's exactly the same as a personal assistant, or secretary, who specializes in medical terminology.  Mainly working with audio transcription equipment like a voice recorder, they will listen to the recording and produce the document from that recording.\n\nIt requires essential specialized training, as a lot of medical terms are really unbelievably difficult to spell, and 100% accuracy is required.

East coast fl...I am a Surgical Tech but my aunt is head of the Radiography department. X-ray techs are a vital part of the healthcare industry. It is a reliable and growing field. Ask a local hospital if you can do a "shadow" of the department. Tell them you are going to be entering the program and would like to see how and what is envolved. You can also specialize in areas such as ultra sound tech to. YOu can do both and be more valuable. Try payscale.com for pay. Realize though that you have to consider the type of place, Hospital, or private practice, and many times you can get job placement through school. I hope that you really check on this it is a great area of healthcare.

Radiology is the medical specialty that utilizes and interprets imaging technologies to diagnose disease. Traditionally it was the branch of medical science dealing with the medical use of X-rays emitted by X-ray machines or other such radiation devices for the purpose of obtaining visual information as part of medical imaging. Radiologists now also use all other imaging technologies (such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging) to diagnose or treat disease. Interventional radiology is the performance of (usually minimally invasive) medical procedures with the help of medical imaging.\n\nOutside of the medical field, radiology also encompasses the examination of the inner structure of objects using X-rays or other penetrating radiation.\n\nwhere...\n\nSonographers are medical professionals who operate ultrasonic imaging devices to produce diagnostic images and scans, videos, or 3D volumes of anatomy and diagnostic data. Sonography requires specialized education and skills to view, analyze and modify the scan to optimize the information in the image.\n\nIn the United States the most widely accepted sonographic education is provided by CAAHEP/JRC-DMS accredited programs. The profession is sub-divided in specialties such as cardiac, obstetrical, vascular, and general sonographers. General sonographers are registered in abdominal and/or obstetric and gynecologic sonography.\n\nCertifications in sonography after examinations administered by the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography are recognized and administered in some countries outside the US.\n\n\n\nSo I think A sonographer is a doctor as long as he participates in the diagnoses.

Ergonomics (or human factors) is the scientific discipline concerned with the understanding of interactions among humans and other elements of a system, and the profession that applies theory, principles, data and methods to design in order to optimize human well-being and overall system performance (definition adopted by the International Ergonomics Association in 2000).\n\nErgonomists contribute to the design and evaluation of tasks, jobs, products, environments and systems in order to make them compatible with the needs, abilities and limitations of people (IEA, 2000).\n\n\n\n\n\nDomains\nThe IEA divides ergonomics broadly into three domains:\n\nPhysical ergonomics deals with the human body's responses to physical and physiological loads. Relevant topics include manual materials handling, workstation layout, job demands, and risk factors such as repetition, vibration, force and awkward/static posture as they relate to musculoskeletal disorders (see repetitive strain injury).\n\nCognitive ergonomics, also known as engineering psychology, concerns mental processes such as perception, attention, cognition, motor control, and memory storage and retrieval as they affect interactions among humans and other elements of a system. Relevant topics include mental workload, vigilance, decision-making, skilled performance, human error, human-computer interaction, and training.\n\nOrganizational ergonomics, or macroergonomics, is concerned with the optimization of sociotechnical systems, including their organizational structures, policies, and processes. Relevant topics include shift work, scheduling, job satisfaction, motivational theory, supervision, teamwork, telework and ethics.\n\n\nHistory\nItalian Bernardino Ramazinni (1633-1714) became the first physician to write about work-related injuries and illnesses in his 1700 publication, "De Morbis Artificum (Diseases of Workers)". Ramazinni was ostracized by his fellow doctors for visiting the workplaces of his patients in order to identify the causes of their disorders. The term ergonomics (from the Greek words ergon [work] and nomoi [natural laws]) first entered the modern lexicon when Wojciech Jastrzębowski used the word in his 1857 article Rys ergonomji czyli nauki o pracy, opartej na prawdach poczerpniętych z Nauki Przyrody (adapted from a previous version of this page).\n\nLater in the 19th century, Frederick Taylor pioneered the "Scientific Management" method, an approach that sought the single best method to perform a job and its tasks. By incrementally reducing the size and weight of coal shovels until the optimum shoveling rate was reached, Taylor tripled the amount of coal that workers could shovel in a day. Frank and Lilian Gilbreth, in the early 1900s, expanded Taylor's methods to develop "Time and Motion Studies" that aimed to improve efficiency by eliminating unnecessary steps and actions. By applying this approach, the Gilbreths reduced the number of motions in bricklaying from 18 to 4.5, allowing bricklayers to increase their pace of laying bricks from 120 to 350 bricks per hour.\n\nWorld War II marked the advent of highly sophisticated machines and weaponry, creating previously unseen cognitive demands on operators in terms of decision-making, attention, situational awareness and hand-eye coordination. It was observed that perfectly working aircraft, flown by the best-trained pilots, still crashed. In 1943, Alphonse Chapanis, a lieutenant in the U.S. Army, showed that "pilot error" could be greatly reduced when more logical and differentiable controls replaced confusing designs in airplane cockpits.\n\nIn the decades following the war and leading to today, ergonomics has continued to flourish and diversify. The Space Age created new human factors issues such as weightlessness and extreme G-forces. To what extent could these environments be tolerated and what effects would they have on the mind and body?

Medical transcriptionists (MTs) are specialists in medical language and healthcare documentation who interpret and transcribe dictation by physicians and other healthcare professionals regarding patient assessment, workup, therapeutic procedures, clinical course, diagnosis, prognosis, etc., editing dictated material for grammar and clarity as necessary and appropriate.  www.aamt.org\n\nAs for pay... If you know your medical language and can type rather quickly, you really can make a decent living.  Many people like having a career in Medical Transcription because of the ability to work from home.\n\n\n Pay the extra in tuition to attend an 'approved' school. Many people have received training through inadequate programs only to find out that they are unable to find a job. AAMT (American Association for Medical Transcription) has a list of approved schools on thier wedsite. The top 3 are M-tec, Andrew, and Career Step. Check out: http://www.mteducationonline.c... from their you can request more information.  It is an affiliate site for Career Step. Career Step is an AAMT approved program and they are partnered with many of the major MT employers. In other words, their graduates get the jobs. Career Step has a competitive curriculum in comparison to the other 2 approved AAMT schools, but I believe their course is the cheaper one of the 3. They do offer scholarships and if you take the course through one of thier partners (one of the community colleges) you can get a Sallie Mae loan.

They are the same thing.\n\nSurgery (from the Greek cheirourgia meaning "hand work") is the medical specialty that treats diseases or injuries by operative manual and instrumental treatment. Surgeons are medical practitioners who specialize in surgery.\n\n(A surgery can also refer to the place where surgery is performed, or simply the office of a physician, dentist, or veterinarian.)\n\nOne of the meanings of operation is: In medicine, a surgical procedure to diagnose, cure or palliate a certain disease.
