Medical transcriptionists work from home and set their own hours.
An increasing demand for experienced medical transcriptionists has increased employment opportunities for work-from-home transcriptionists. Medical transcriptionists carefully listen to dictated medical reports, letters, evaluations and lab results, then transfer the information to medical reports and medical forms. A medical transcriptionist should be familiar with human anatomy, medical terminology, diagnostic procedures, pharmacology, physiology and treatment recommendations. Medical transcriptionists are required to adhere to stringent legal and ethical codes of patient/physician confidentiality.
Instructions
1. Prepare a detailed and enthusiastic cover letter and resume. Highlight previous medical experience and your proven ability to meet deadlines. Submit your letter to general medical and surgical hospitals, medical and diagnostic laboratories, outpatient care centers and offices of physicians. Be proactive in your job search and personally visit the locations of medical facilities in your city and submit your resume in person.
2. Review the medical positions section of the classified employment ads.
Review weekly posting of classified employment newspaper ads. Often doctors will place an ad in a city, community or state publication advertising an opening in their office.
