How do I become a medical transcriptionist via online?
I don’t do medical transcription, but I do work at home in the health care field. I really enjoy my career and I would be happy to share details. The company is awsome and offers 401k, benefits and is even a bbb member and member of the US Chamber of Commerce. What I do is mostly on the computer. If you are the sort of person who enjoys helping others maybe it would work well for you.
I took a certification course near me which only took about 3-4 months (2x/week). But you can go to http://www.aamt.org website and pull up a list of qualified schools/programs for training. I found you want to have a good background in medical terminology, good medical and drug dictionaries on hand and to any books or information on a specialized field that interests you. (Oncology, Gastroenterology, Cardiology, etc.) Good luck!
This site has some good work at home info., but not sure if there is medical transcriptionist info. here. Good luck! http://workathome.divinfo.
