If you're medically inclined, you should consider enrolling in a medical transcription program at a good college.  There's probably one near you - a local community college, for example. \n\nMany medical transcriptionists sign on with outsourcing companies and work entirely from home.  I personally know MT's that earn as much as $60K/year.  They are given work to do, and they perform it on their time - whenever is convenient for them, as long as it is completed in a timely manner.  They love the freedom and flexibility, and make pretty good income.\n\nIt's going to take some college work to do it right, but the rewards are worth it.

This question would take too long to answer, but a great resources I'd check out is www.valuemd.com, which has a forum for a lot of "offshore" medical schools.\n\nIf you've taken the MCAT, I'd recommend you look at Saba (www.saba.edu), St George's University, (www.sgu.edu).  If you haven't taken the MCAT, I'd give Medical University of the Americas (www.mua.edu) and Sint Eustatius (www.eustatiusmed.edu) a look.  Good luck.\n\nAlso, there are no Caribbean schools that are "accreditted" by the US, but there are a few that are "approved" by a few selective medical boards.  California's approved St George's U, Ross U, American U of the Caribbean, Saba University.  New York has approved all the above plus Medical University of the Americas and American University of Antigua.

If and only if:\n\n1. your online degree is accredited\n2. you did NOT do your lab courses online\n3. took MCAT and did well.\n\nbut even still, NO ONLINE SCHOOL ranks remotely close to the real universities that matriculate students into med school. I'm coming from UC Berkeley with a masters degree from USC, and i had a MCAT score of 32. You will be competing with the likes of me for admission.\n\nAdmissions committees will be paying attention to where you came from. Unless you have a GREAT back story to tell (married, 6 kids, spouse in the military, constantly moving, worked as a medical tech for 30 years etc...), you will be fighting an uphill battle.

I am a Medical Technologist and at this time, if you want to work in the field, go to a regular colleg or university.  Most employers as of yet don't recognize on line education.  Also there is a lot of practical lab training involved which just can't be done online

Your best bet is to research the industry and don't rely on hearsay.\n\nAs for as the jobs are concerned hospitals will still need transcriptions on staff because not all hospitals will be replacing or outsourcing to automated systems.\n\nThey very well might be moving towards "voice recognition" technologies. But to eliminate this would probably be very risky in the future.\n\nCheck out these links for your research. The more you know the better!!!\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_transcription#Medical_transcription_process\n\nhttp://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos271.htm\n\nhttp://www.google.com/Top/Computers/Speech_Technology/Medical_Transcription/\n\nHope this helps. \n\nGod Bless you.

Meshu\nI can  provide you with ideas of medical transciption. NHS is a large body in UK and they provide lot of transcription work in India. You can google for NHS Trust (about 800 of them) and they go to each site and send a feeler email and see if anyone is interested.\nCheers\nAndy

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 an at-home, self-employed medical transcriptionist.\n\nThere is really little to no start-up.  You need the proper equipment, which varies depending on whether or not you use tapes or have digital equipment.

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... 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.\n\nI received a job less than a week after graduation. The platinum level offers job placement assistance. The school forums offer a vast amount of information regarding who is currently hiring, the best companies to work for, and much more. \n\nFinding a job, for me, was surprisingly easy. I would recommend doing just what I did: Call some of the top employers for work-at-home transcriptionists and ask them how they recommend getting started in the field. I can give you names of some big employers if you need them. \n\n**** To the poster about Mtacc.... how did you come up with a 100% job placement rate?  I did a search and that's not the rate I came up with on that particular school.

Either Florida State or University of Florida, both schools have very good medical programs

the university of missouri-columbia has the best journalism program. Orthodonics is a post graduate degree so no 4 year school could possibly have the best program.
