With these new online programs, post DOS programs where we really cleaned up, that has dropped for some to between 130-175 LPH....A great MT should be able (pre online programs I do believe, my opinion only) to type nearly 2000 lines in an 8-hour period or 10-hour period. If I could do that on DOS programs, anyone could, and privately I still work on a faithful DOS program and for 10 years.

Decades of typing pre MT work helped and then 25 years of doing MT work is what makes some of us pros.

it sounds like to you.  They will have a list come up with any drugs that s/l what you typed in and it lists what they are for and generic names if appropriate.   If you can't hear but the ending of a drug - for example "illin" is all you can make out type in *illin and it will list all drugs with that ending and maybe you can figure out the rest that way.  If ever in question never guess on meds. 

A lot of times new drugs may not be on rxlist, in which case you have to google, but be sure you have a reliable source as there is a lot of garbage and misinformation on google.

I have Quick Look on my computer and it is very helpful.  There are so many drugs, some you will have frequently and some that you may have once a year or so, and then new drugs are added all the time. 

You'll get better with practice, but you'll have to do a lot of looking up in the meantime.

When I go to the drugstore I walk up and down the aisles and look at products on the shelf.  At the pharmacy if I am able to see meds from the counter I look at the names.  New meds usually have ads in magazines and on TV and I make notes about them. 

read but kept falling asleep.   I just turn the speed up several notches and relisten and it isn't so bad.   I actually am sometimes able to get a blank with the speed up that I couldn't when I played it several times at regular speed. 

I do alot of psyche and some of my reports range from 150-450 lines per report.  So when you look at it like that it is not bad.  On the other had if you are doing radiology that would be totally different.  Again some of mines average from 15-30 lines.  That is with a 65 character line. 

Hi,

I have just read some of the responses on becoming a MT. I was wondering if anyone had more detailed information regarding how long it actually takes to get certified, cost and realistic opportunities after graduation. Are most jobs in hospitals, doctor's offices etc. or are most work-from-home? What can a new graduate expect for an annual income? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!!

I have recently submitted a resume online and have medical transcription experience. It has been a few years, but I have been a processor for the government and am a fast and accurate worker. Long story short, I stumbled upon this area, checking out a certain company that is interested in me, and they want me to test. I see they are listed in this area, but I want to see if it is a job, or a school. Can any one speak out and advise me please? I am looking for a good home based position, but want to see what the company is like, as well as the employees.

Please, if anyone is out there, reply to me. I have been unemployed by the government after a huge lay off and am trying to keep my home for myself and my disabled child. I hope my prayer will finally be answered.

Thanks for letting me in.....  

I know it might sound odd to some, but we do pride ourselves on telling the truth (and nothing but the truth) to prospective students, current students, and graduates about the industry, job opportunities, and the profession in general. We are not like some of the matchbox schools who are trying to enroll everyone and anyone off the streets. We have a pre-enrollment test, and we pride ourselves on the difficulty level and quality of our program. We only enroll as many students as we know we can handle. Period. We won't tell you that this course is going to be easy, nor do we tell you that you can do this from home in your jammies with kids on your lap. We take this profession very seriously, and we expect our students and graduates to do the same. Our placement rate is high and, while the biggest percentage of our employers who hire our graduates are looking for full time employee status (what a great opportunity that is by the way), many of them will also still hire part-time. It is easier by far to make this a career choice and prepare for full time position so that you can continue to train your ear and update your skill levels once you graduate. If part-time is the only option for you, we will work with you to that end. Those are the facts.

That having been said, I would be more than happy to talk with anyone who is sincerely interested in our program or medical transcription in general. Please feel free to email at sfrancis@mtecinc.com or call toll free 877-864-3307 and talk with me or any one of our staff at your convenience. :)

Hi!  I was wondering if anyone has any information on Transcription Relief Services out of Greensboro, NC.   Not sure about them.

Does anyone have any infomation on a company called Another Medical Must?

Thanks

Does anyone know anything about this company, DocMed Medical Transcription

Thanks. 

At www.mtchat.com there is a forum faq called "Interested in MT?" which has some great info.  Also, check out MTEC's website; under prospective students are some good links--the "Is MT right for me?" also has links to AHDI's website, as well as the Bureau of Labor's information on the field of MT. You can also search this website...

I have to say, this isn't an "I'm in it for the money" field; you have to like this work to do it and be happy.

Does anyone know anything about this transcription system or know where I can find the company on the web?  Thank you in advance for any help.

God Bless.
