There is a wide range of job opportunities available to practically anyone in the US. One particular occupation is a Medical Transcriptionist, a career I have been inspired to strive for. There are a number of reasons why I desire to become a Medical Transcriptionist.
One reason is that I spend a large amount of time in front of the computer. I continue to maintain a 70-80 WPM typing, and I would honestly love to gain money from typing. I also would like to contribute to making sure medical processes go smoothly by creating concise, clear documents. My friend recommended medical transcription to me, and I began to research it. I applied to Kaiser Newborn Screening position, but the position became frozen. After losing the position, I wanted to pursue a Medical Transcription certificate or degree to increase my chances to get some sort of transcriptionist or clerical job.
The most beneficial advantage for working as a MT is the flexible hours and availability to work anywhere, like at home. Although that may be the largest advantage to most, there is a reason for me to be able to work at home. During the times of the recession, in 2008, my family endured 2 foreclosures. We continued to move living situations to relatives homes that eventually also suffered a foreclosure, totaling to over 4 losses. This caused our family to separate, as half of us live in Vallejo, CA with a relative, while the rest live in Union City, CA with another relative. With my busy schedule with previous jobs, I did not have any time to see my family. With this flexibility, I am now able to afford money and time to visit them.
FutureMT is a great MT course choice for many different reasons. I have searched long and wide for medical transcription schools and found many, including US Career Institute, Allied Medical School, and Career Step, all of which ranges from $1200-$1800! The cheap pricing (and high quality) of FutureMT is a great motivation to consider this class over others. In addition, the courses include 14 different medical disciplines which will give me a great overview to how each medical practice works, allowing documents to be written smoothly. In addition, FutureMT will allow me to take the course at my own pace.
Other online MT courses are self-paced as well, but after a certain amount of time, penalties are drawn to students. FutureMT has the advantage of having no penalties or fees for the time frame the courses are taken. This educational program also offers services to students even after graduation and 2 guarantees. I feel like I have confidence that I can do my best with FutureMT by my side. In the future, I hope to achieve the MT education needed to be granted a job as a transcriptionist. I believe taking this class will give me a much better understanding with medical disciplines and the works. FutureMT really seems like the best opportunity I can pursue to achieve that job placement! Thank you for your time, and wish me luck!
