Seeking new opportunity in the MT field
Hello, my name is Murielle Hardwick. I am interested in becoming a medical
transcriptionist because of an interest in the medical field but not directly with the patient.
Recently becoming divorced, after being married for fifteen years and verbally abused, I need to get a beneficial skill that will be fulfilling for me. After much research, this has led me to the medical transcriptionist field. There are many advantages of working in the MT field. With the vast amount of outsourcing, this saves hospitals and medical professionals time and money. Outsourcing provides good opportunities for medical transcriptionists who choose to work from home.
Transcriptionists can begin their career in a hospital setting to gain valuable experience and then migrate to a home-based MT business. The advantage for me would be the flexibility to work from home and in the medical field, but not directly with the patient. Being trained as a medical transcriptionist also gives me skills to make a great income and re-enter the workforce after being out of the workforce for fifteen years. I received an email about how to become a medical transcriptionist, the email directed me to the Future MT website.
I have been searching periodically for an option where I could enter the medical/health field and often looked at medical transcription jobs but had no experience. Unable to afford the training, I put that desire on hold temporarily. After looking over the Future MT website I was thoroughly impressed. The self-paced training in additional to the length of the program is very attractive to me. It seems as though Future MT is thoroughly interested in helping students achieve their goals and there for assistance when needed. Being accredited by the Better Business Bureau is also big for me. This lets me know that the reputation of Future MT is not a scam or fly by night school only interested in financial gains for themselves. It appears that Future MT gives students all of the knowledge and tools needed to become successful as a medical transcriptionist, whether one decides to work in a hospital or from home. These are the types of key elements that I am seeking from a school.
Having looked at other programs, I didn’t get the ‘warm and fuzzy’, that is difficult to get online. I believe that the Future MT program will give me what is needed to be a successful medical transcriptionist. My current educational goal as a medical transcriptionist is to get trained with a good program, with a self-paced online program. After being trained, I would like to start doing medical transcription from home part-time. I would like to continue this education further with some business education that will in 5 years or sooner enable me to start a medical transcription business and be able to employ women who want to become a medical transcriptionist. Thank you for the opportunity to submit my essay for a full scholarship. I look forward to participating in the medical transcriptionist program with FutureMT.
