Has anyone workin and tried with Medical Transcription?  

Well I was a medic, so had to do some of it off and on. I know many like to work on that and some hospitals actually hire people to work from home. You have to listen to recorded doctor's orders and be proficient on medical terminology, listening to the lingo and transcribe doctor's orders. In some places it pays well in other cases one has to establish accounts with medical doctors who will allow you to do that for them.

I have been an MT for 11 years and you will need to know medical terminology for sure or you will be lost. Good luck because it is a tough field with US docs sending everything overseas because it is cheaper, but what they do not realize is that it puts every patient in jeopardy of being diagnosed incorrectly or given the wrong meds or treatment or lack of. Just my 2 cents worth :)

At present it provides a lot of job opportunities in india.But there is a chance that this profession may die because of EMR system.

I actually worked through 3/4 of a certificate from a school on medical transcription...it is very difficult and technical. I did fine with all the medical terminology and anatomy...my greatest problem was with the grammar and punctuation! I didn't feel like I could do it fast enough to make any money at it...good luck!

I've been in the industry for five years and still has to struggle sometimes because of the difficulty of the reports but I really enjoy it because I'm exposed to different cases every day and I learn a lot. Our company has been offering training for medical transcriptionist to graduates (medical/allied medical/nonmedical courses) and all I can say is that it depends on the hearing acuity of the worker. You can be a doctor and yet you cannot hear correctly what the doctor is dictating or you can be a lawyer and yet you have a good hearing and can hear the mumbled words of the dictator. The advantage of being a medical course is that you can relate to the field and is familiar with the terms while the nonmeds are at a disadvantage in this. Being in this job requires you being accurate on the detail because a patient's life is at risk. There is no room for mistake so you have to be careful. You have to put quality over the quantity of reports produced.
