What is the job market for a medical transcriptionist?
A well-qualified conscientious medical transcriptionist, according to all the latest information, has a secure future. There is a huge demand for such MTs in all areas of the country, although presumably some regions have a stronger demand than others. With national services hiring, location is not as crucial as it once was. While voice recognition systems are seen as a distant threat to the MT’s vocation, experts are predicting that it will be years, if ever, before voice recognition takes over the MT’s vocation. Even then, experienced MTs will be needed as editors and record managers.
