Medical Transcription Schools in Massachusetts
Medical transcriptionists turn dictation into documentation for hospitals and health care centers, physicians’ offices and transcription companies. Some transcriptionists work from home according to their schedules and income needs. Pursuing certification in medical transcription is ideal for individuals with “administrative or clinical background[s]” who want to change careers, says Marian Court College. Job prospects are bright for the field, as employment opportunities have been projected to grow “21% to 35% faster than the average” and by 49 percent overall through the end of 2010, notes Northeast Technical Institute.
