For each patient seen, the nurse practitioner or doctor dictates a medical note and I transcribe each note into the patient chart. I am also the office manager, account payable manager, indigent drug program manager and supply manager. The field is highly confidential but very fulfilling. Allowing the physician and family nurse practitioners to dictate all of their medical notes is a huge time saver for them. Before I started transcribing their notes, it was their responsibility to type in the notes themselves.
Medical transcription is a wonderful asset to any medical office.
Being able to do medical transcription gives me a sense of freedom as far as my profession is concerned. I am able to transcribe at my own pace, maintaining a schedule, but choosing my own hours to achieve my goals. I work very closely with the medical staff and maintain excellent working relations with all of them. This truly makes my job fun. Being a medical transcriptionist is a very confidential position.
