In Reply to: I am surprised they are having a newbie doing - editing. Is this edit of US or offshore? nm
I would love to find a company where I could do standard trancription, but have only found editing voice recognized (and not so recognized oftentimes) reports. I do get a small spattering of standard transcription at times. I've been doing this since graduation and took the first job offer knowing I needed the experience. I'd love to move on to straight standard transcription. Does anyone have any company suggestions for someone just under two years MT work experience? Just asking, any ideas appreciated.

You'd be surprised how different it is
to transcribe medical reports than work other jobs. The terminology is much more in depth, more legal, should be more proper, but sometimes the MDs throw in some slang, so we have to know that and hopefully translate it. You were vague about what you've done, but coding would be the closest, yet you'd still want an abbreviated program if you don't have MT training, I'd think. I used to schedule for an operating room, so sure, I had practice with names of procedures and did a little with some of the supplies, but I had no practice with names of neuro tests, cardiology, etc. I had taken a medical secretary course (2-year), so I could do office work on site, but learning hospital stuff took a mentor.
