Why, When, And How I Will Become A Medical Transcriptionist

In 1969, when I graduated high school, I immediately enrolled in Mandl Medical Assistant School in New York which was an accredited program

. With this course, which was a 12 month course, we learned all aspects of the medical field both as a medical assistant and a medical secretary. I worked in this field for fifteen years, using all of the training that I achieved from school and from my employment both in Pediatrics and a short time is Internal Medicine. I eventually left the field and went to work in a Special Needs School, which I also enjoyed, as the hours were more compatible with my role as a wife and mother. In 1970, medical assistants did not make the money or have the hours that they do now. We had to work Saturdays, had basically no benefits and low wages. I hated to leave the medical profession, but raising two boys left me no choice. My family was very important to me and still is. They are the priority in my life which is the core of what I do each day. We left New York in 1991 and moved to North Carolina where we built and daycare center in a small rural town. There were no other centers here at the time, and only in home providers.

I wanted to open a program primarily for families who were on a subsidy program and who could not afford the full tuition for their children. It was a successful program which we operated for 15 years. With hard work and help from my family we became a Four Star Program, the first in the county. I started with serious arthritis in my knees as early as high school and had many surgeries through out the years. By the time my oldest son was two I had five surgical procedures to try to help my with pain and swelling in my knees. In 2002, I had surgery for melanoma in my arm, but was back at the center almost immediately after my surgery. In 2005 I had my first knee replaced and in 2008 had the second knee replaced. I since have arthritis throughout my body, forcing me to sell the daycare. This was a difficult decision to make, but one I had no choice in. I went on disability and was able to work part-time at various merchandising companies. I longed to get back into the medical field somehow some way. I knew I could never work in the childcare field and began investigating the medical field in some capacity.

I was talking to a friend and she suggested medical transcription as a friend of hers does this and loves it. I have always loved typing and maintained my speed over the years. With my background in the medical field I began to investigate it further. I was hoping that this would be a great way for me to take care of my body, be active in the medical field and make a decent salary. The flexibility would just be a bonus for me. The flexibility of the field would allow me to still get to my doctors visits and work around future surgeries which I know are inevitable. I now have serious arthritis in my jaw which will require surgery in the near future. There are so many advantages that this employment could offer me. We are a close family, so to this day when one of my sons needs me I do not hesitate to help in any capacity that I can. Once a parent always a parent and that is a role I do not take lightly.

With medical transcribing, I can pick my hours of work and still be a good mother and wife. I am really eager to start the program and get closer to my goal of getting a job as a medical transcriber. As soon as I complete the online medical transcription courses, I plan on immediately getting out into the work force. I have already been in touch with various medical transcribing agencies and looking forward to getting on their payroll and providing them with a service that they deserve. I feel with my conscientious work ethics and being the kind of person that I am, I could be successful. I really was impressed with your program, as I had checked into many local colleges and other on-line programs, but they offered a lot of courses I was not interested in. I think getting the basic knowledge needed to excel as a medical transcriptionist and as your program stated, getting into the job itself is as important as the basics needed to succeed. I am only 59, so have many years ahead of me to still work part-time. I am not a sit down and woe is me kind of person and being a medical transcriptionist is a career I know I will never regret being a part of. I look forward to the challenge of completing the course and getting on with the next phase of my life.
