My girlfriend was doing medical transcription for a while before going back to school. It's boring, but it's a somewhat skilled position and thus the pay is decent (my girlfriend topped out around 2k per month). Your wife will have to get a medical transcription certification first, though.
Here's the company she worked for: http://www.nuance-nts.com/ http://www.nuance-nts.com/ - they're the same people that do Dragon Naturally Speaking and Siri. Kinda weird to be training algorithms that are replacing you.
- Kognizant-Kog 14y agoHey. Glad I ran into this post. My girlfriend likes paperwork, has been working as a nurse for four years, and is looking for a change for at least a bit. Can you tell me where your girlfriend got her transcription certification and how long it took?
- pbj 14y agoMost community colleges with any sort of health programs (which are most) offer medical transcription programs. They're usually only a semester or two long and typically are very affordable. That said you may be able to find faster private/for profit certification programs.
- Kognizant-Kog 14y agoThanks very much. I will look into it.
- buss 14y agoShe got her certification from http://www.careerstep.com/medical-transcription-editing http://www.careerstep.com/medical-transcription-editing It's between a 4 month and 1 year course, depending on how much time you spend training. She finished it in about three months by working on it all the time.
