Does anyone do this? Ive looked into it some. there have been a lot of seminars locally lately, but havent went to one. please share your experiences, advice...good and bad. Tryin to see if this is a viable option for me. TYI

I have been doing this for over 3 years. I went to M-TEC and now work at Wedmedx. I wouldn't advise going to a seminar. Check M-TEC They have a lot of information there.

Andrews is a very good school too. These will give you the best chance of working at home right after graduation. Many times when you go to other schools, they will not let you test until you have 2+ years' experience. Luckily, many companies will waive the necessary 2 years' experience from graduates of those 2 schools.

Yes, schooling is expensive. Yes, it is a difficult job. BUT I find that the rewards are worth it. Any questions, I will try to check back here more often.

Hi hisredneckgirl, You probably have seen alot of seminars on medical transcription because "Employment of medical transcriptionists is projected to grow faster than the average for all occupations through 2010. Demand for medical transcription services will be spurred by a growing and aging population... Growing numbers of medical transcriptionists will be needed to amend patients' records, edit for grammar, and discover discrepancies in medical records." - U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Employment Handbook
