Does anybody know of any legitimate online medical transcriptioning schools that I can enroll in?

I actually don't, but let me give you a piece of advice.  \n\nGo searching for a school that has accreditation.  If you have a  disability & have been considered for or already receiving benefits, you might be eligible for financial aid in the form of a Pell grant or student loan and possibly something other.  Schools with accreditation have money to give out to students.  I know because I attended one.  Having accreditation does not always mean they are a good school.  If you can get in on an MT chat room, there are MTs on there who might be able to give you some info about good on-line schools.

Medical transcriptions over the net or selling on E-bay are two options. Also there are many survey sites that pay to answer surveys. If you are really computer saavy there is BIG money in being a webmaster. My cousin makes literally hundreds in her spare time creating pages for startup companies.

I am a certified medical transcriptionist and have been practicing for over 15 years. The future is changing because of new technology such as voice recognition, and we need to keep up with the business end of it as well as the medical. Outsourcing is another issue that is "hot" at the moment. It is an exciting time, in my opinion, because there are few qualified transcriptionists/editors who can easily go into the future. That is why I joined the American Association of Medical Transcriptionists about 8 years ago. Send me a message if you want more info.

Yes, there are transcription companies which exist in Australia - not as big as US. They are usually paid by the line @.8-10 cents per line (65 character/line). \nHave you done a google search? i.e. medical transcriptionist? Some of the companies providing these services are: NTS Transcription, Overflow Angel, Pacific Solutions, and I am sure there are others. Mostly what is required is previous medical typing experience in a hospital setting, there is no requirement for education/certificate, just bulk amount of experience as a medical typist. Of course, one needs to be a fast competent typist and it helps if you are internet savvy. Would be interested in return what goes on in America regarding same. \nChristine E

CONTACT NASSCOM. New Delhi for information on Indian Websites and Training Groups for Medical transcriptions. Most of the training facilities are run by subcontractors of American Principals and hence the courses they offer are of that origin.\n\nBut I would advise you to take the US version for the simple reason that by the time you finish the course, you would be well familiar with the accents of American English which is one of the  main obstacles for the Indian aspirants in this profession.. This valuable experience cannot be purchased for a few dollars that you will save in fees.\nBesides, errors of an Indian student under training  are  more tolerated than the errors of a certified Indian Transcriber. Significantly high rejectiioons will jeopardise chances for future work.\n\nAs a simple practising exercise, watch American medical case movies like the Final Diagnosis and try to write down the technical terms used therein. It is worth the effort and will enhance your initial effort's quality. \nAnother helpful tool is the Audio-Video guide on total Health published by the American Health Association. I do not remember the exact title and the publishing firm's address . But Ihave read  and heard the Audio edition. It is a veritable gift for an Indian student wanting to be an MT. Cost then was around fifty dollars.

Great timing on this question.   I just returned from the 2006 American Speech-language Hearing Association (ASHA) Convention and took a course called "Internet Gold for Speech- Language Pathologists".  I'll give you the link for her handout which had dozens of unusual sites specifically chosen by her for use in speech therapy.  These are sites chosen by one of the foremost technology experts in our field!  Some of it won't pertain to you, but page down to find some great resources.  Good luck.  Hope this is useful: http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/ASHA2006handout.html\nI was amazed with this.

You can order them from the registrar's office at your school. They will not send official transcripts to you via e-mail.

Well, learning to spell correctly would help.  It is important that you be accurate.   \nWhat is......usin or mtdaily?????\nI do my husbands medical transcription.  I also have a cousin, an aunt & a sister-in-law who also do medical transcription from home.  This is a field that will fall by the wayside once the voice recognition software is perfected.  I would not rely on it to be your long term career.  My aunt, cousin & sister-in-law have each lost a physician or more to this new software.  My suggestion is NOT to rely on it for the long term.

My aunt is a medical transcriptionist, and works from home. She seems to like her job.\n\nI would suggest a visit to HotJobs.com. Enter "medical transcription" as the keywords and enter your zipcode to see if there are any jobs near you. I did a quick search in the San Francisco area, and there were 49 job postings. Seems promising!\n\nBest of luck,\nEric

University of Phoenix is one.  Also a lot of big name schools are now offering online programs.   Some of the legitimate schools also offer programs that allow you to get credit for some of your life experience which can shorten the time to a degree and save you some money.  (NONE of the legitimate schools will let you write off a majority of your degree...one sign it is a real school).\n\nYou may find a selection of them on websites designed to help prospective students pick a college, like www.princetonreview.com or www.directoryofonlineschools.com\n\nGood luck.
