Best online school for medical transcription?

Question

I want to start school to become a medical transcriptionist since I am a new mom and that is the only legit job I have found I can do from home...Does anyone know the best online school for that??

Answer 1

Before you choose, you need to read the online guide to choosing a medical transcription course of study at the website below. Big difference between getting a certificate and being "certified" and lots more tips for choosing.

Not affiliated with any school

Answer 2

Don't waste your time. Go to a community college and get the degree or a certificate through there. Many colleges offer all-online courses, so you can still do it at home.

Many transcription companies don't hire anyone that went to the online schools.

Also be aware that if you are planning to work at home, you'll need AT LEAST 1 year of on-the-job experience in a hospital, although usually more like 3-5 years.
