Medical Transcriptionist

[the_wildthing]

E kung from home, anong mga kailangan? At madali bang makahanap ng clients?

[umzzzzz]

i was wondering...why do you need in depth medical training in becoming a MT? diba all you have to do is listen and transcribe what you have heard?? and besides, the internet is a large place para makapag search ka ng mga words/terminologies na hindi mo maintindihan at hindi mo malaman ang sfelling.

...para doon sa mga naghahanap ng sideline, palagay ko you have to work first in a MT company before opting to work at home. i believe doon ka makakakuha ng clients.

...nga pala question...how do you communicate to clients? icq? skype? email? if the answers are one of those, para pla syang yung setup ko noon. i did web design for an offshore client. sa bahay ko tinrabaho. it went for a year. good pay sobra. imagine you don't have to spend money on pamasahe and everything...pero all things have an end. ...ang question...kung magtatrabaho ka sa bahay...paano iaabot sa yo ang sahod mo? wire transfer? xoom?

because its better that you know what they're talking about right off the bat and not have to research on it first to save on time and for accuracy. if for some reason a word spoken was inaudible you can infer what was said because you understand the other medical jargons spoken in the same sentence for example. also if you had never heard the word you might not be able to spell or research it accurately or mistake it for something else.

yup, very true.. like when you thought you heard flea bites, but the correct term is phlebitis or hypertension when it is hypotension... something like that..

depende sa needs, we use all....
email- to send out status or summary, pati communications about the project
skype- para mas madali ang conversations and ideal din ang group/conference call para isang pasada lang whatever changes/instructions to be handed down

tama si umz na dami nga matututunan thru internet but still iba pa din kapag yun talaga yung field or expertise mo, moreso kapag napag-aralan mo. actually, we have tons of research materials ranging from medical softwares/books, references, googles and even internet sites ng mga clients namin to fully understand ang mga dictations, not to mention the intensive trainings and simulations that our company give to our MTs. And in as far as experience in dealing with errors, prone talaga ang work na to kahit sabihin mong expert ka na.

and yes, before doing home transcription, as i said earlier, para ka din mag-aapply kasi kailangan mo yung connections, tie-up sa mother company na magbibigay sa yo ng mg voice files. At certain extents, may mga client na naghahanap ng accreditations or certifications before they give a go.

They pay you thru wires deposited sa account mo....
