When your doctor hires you . . .
Posted By: sm on 2008-10-02

When your doctor hires you, come back and tell us. Historically, pretty much nobody prefers AHP graduates. Few doctors have ever heard of AHP and other employers shudder at the name.
You should brush up on spelling, grammar, and punctuation. It's "prefer," not "perfer" and there should be a comma before "too."
This whole series of posts looks like advertising spam from AHP. The "I love" and short, choppy, "rah-rah" sentences give it away.
In any event, a good course would have supplied everything, so you wouldn't have had to buy extra dictation. Would have had teachers, too.

Doctor offices do pay well
My docs pay very well, on time, no bounced checks and appreciate me. So I disagree with you over this. Dermatologists do use transcriptionists as they have a lot of consults that go out. Evidently this office had to cut corners or they felt that another way was more profitable. This is happening in all aspects of business world/life and there is not much that can be done to stop it. We must use our expertise/experience in other ways and it is possible out there. I don't think that they will every replace us 100% and we might be typing in EMR's or doing voice editing but there will be a need for us.
Do you have any doctor friends you can try out?
If you have some friends whose dictation you could try working on, that might be a place to start. Good luck!
when I had a very tough ESL doctor
my manager said to just do your best with it, so I try my best but don't lose sleep over blanks. It will come in time. Something you might want to do at first is go back through and listen again to those blanks. Sometimes something you type later might tip you off to what a blank should be, or you just hear it clearer.
looking to work directly for a doctor
I've been working for a service for 2 years now and I am looking to branch out and solicit some local doctors. This may be a stupid question, but do I need to buy my own equipment? I do have my equipment I need to transcribe, but what about getting the files to me? Thanks for helping!!
Maybe try a specialty doctor's office first. Most times
they will hire you, in-house, and go from there.
It is very difficult to find an at-home MT job just starting out; however, there are some companies who will hire you. I personally do not know of any, but if you do a search, maybe you will come across one.
When I started 25 years ago, it was in a private physician's office and I just moved on up from there.
Good luck!
Ashley, have you considered getting accounts directly with a doctor's office?
I have been very successful as an independent contractor. You should really consider it.
Who hires new MTs?
Hi, I'm a new MT and also cannot find a company to hire me. I am finding that, without schooling and no job, I'm losing some of the skills I have previously learned because there is no repetition. I also cannot get hired when I do pass a test, and the college I attended did not inform anyone that we would not be able to land a job once we graduated unless we had 1-2 years of experience. I did do an externship at a hospital an hour away from where I live and I was given great reviews of the work I did there. Their budget wouldn't allow them to hire another MT, and I don't care to travel dangerous snow-covered roads in the dead of winter in rural Maine if I could have gotten a job there. I did walk away with a fantastic reference source which also doesn't seem to matter. I am also a member of a national honor society. I loved doing MT work and it is something I can see myself doing until I'm older and grayer. I am wondering if new MTs will have to wait until all the old time MTs retire before we can land a job!! I think transcription companies are losing out by not hiring new energetic ready-to-go educated MTs who take pride in this line of work! I know we all will need a little mentoring, but it will pay off in leaps and bounds for the companies who are looking for help!
Who hires new...
Yeah, but there are companies who have mentoring programs for MT Grads in which you do work from home.
who hires newbies?
I am a recent graduate from our community college and I have been looking for at-home work for a few months now. I am determined to make this work for me, but finances are running low and I am a bit discouraged. What companies hire new graduates?
Sten-Tel hires NEW MTs!!
If any new MTs are looking for employment. Sten-Tel, Inc. has an externship program that hires new graduates. Go to their website and type in the word "careers" in the search engine and it well tell you about the externship program.
I graduated in June of 2005 and got hired on with Sten-Tel October of 2005.
Send me a post if you would like more info.
Otherwise you may have a decline in new hires.

MediVoxx hires new MTs
Go to their website and take the online test. Good luck!
Who hires new graduates?
Can anyone give me some ideas on who hires new graduates? I'm having no luck.....
Alltype hires newbies
If you have graduates from one of the acceptable list of schools and pass the entry test, which is very basic, they do mentor in newbies and won't insult you with 4 cpl starting pay like some of the other companies. They had a recent ad on the job board.
Medquist also hires newbies.
Some companies have you work on their platform. Word is required sometimes, but not 2007. You're best bet is Word 2003, which is compliant with most MT platforms.
As far as convincing your husband, don't expect to make a whole lot in the first probably 2 years at least. This business takes a lot to get up to speed. Nothing lucrative until your probably 5 years in, and that's definitely not working part-time. You'll probably need to work at least one full-time job and a part-time to make any great money in this business unless you get your own accounts. If you get your own accounts through local physicians, then you're looking at being a contractor, which means no insurance help.
Good luck with whatever you decide! 
Your school should be able to tell you who hires their grads. -sm

Have a friend who is a recent graduate for MT, does anyone know of a company who hires with less
than one year's experience or has a mentoring program? TIA!
Spheris hires entry level graduates from
at 5.5 cpl, they pay direct deposit on time, insurance not that great (large deductible) and all the usual FT benefits. Only PT benefit is 401K. My supervisor, QA people, and accounts have all been decent, 4-1/2 years into it.
Focus hires newbies and she can probably pick her hours
