Business Idea For Mom: Medical Transcription.Submitted
By: Charissa Bear.What to do? What to do? There are so many options
available for mothers who want to become work-at-home-moms (WAHMs).
They key is to find something that you enjoy and that will suit
your situation.Some people like direct sales; whereas others prefer
to not only work out of their home but also to work in their home.
If you fall into the latter category, then perhaps you may want
to consider a career as a medical transcriptionist. While approximately
four out of ten transcriptionists work at hospitals and doctor's
offices,
there is also plenty of work that can be
performed in the comforts of your own home. You can telecommute
from your home office as an employee, a subcontractor or even
as an independent freelance medical transcriptionist.Almost always
you will find that employers prefer medical transcriptionists
who have completed a postsecondary training program at a vocational
school or community college. If you do not have this type of background
or training, there are a number of options to acquire the necessary
knowledge, skills and abilities.If you do an internet search on
"medical transcription"
you will see a large number of results.
There are more than a few self study training programs available.
Just make sure you exercise due diligence when selecting a training
program.Typically you can expect to pay in the neighborhood of
$1,000 for a course. You may be able to find some for less and
also for more. Included in your curriculum will be a series of
text, workbooks, reference guides and audio tapes. Plan to spend
a chunk of time in the books learning,
the terminology before you will ever begin
to transcribe.It is important to note that while it is relatively
easy to study the text with small children around, it is not as
effortless practice transcribing when you have young ones to care
for. You must have an extremely quiet environment in which to
hear and understand the person dictating. If you have children
who should not be left unattended, then focusing with headphones
on may not be the best idea.At home medical transcription is a
great career for mothers who have babies who sleep often or older
school aged children. If you enjoy an office environment and type
at a pretty good pace, this may be a wonderful medium to earn
an income in your pajamas!About the Author:Charissa Bear is the
