Work in a physician's office. Work in a third-party transcription service office. Work from home. Apply for positions.
Hospitals, clinics, and physician's offices employee medical transcriptionists to work on-site. The best way to find job openings is to make a list of hospitals and physician's offices in your area and call them. You can also use job posting websites such as Craigslist and Monster.com. If you work in a physician's office, you may have additional administrative duties such as scheduling appointments and answering phones. Be professional when you call physician's offices. For example, you might say "I am a Registered Healthcare Documentation Specialist and I wanted to offer my services to your office." Third-party transcription services are run off-site from hospitals and physician's offices. They tend to have a more traditional office-like atmosphere where you will work in a cubicle surrounded by other medical transcriptionists. If you like a structured nine-to-five environment, working for a third-party transcription service may be for you. This option will require you to be at work for specified hours every day. You can find transcription services job postings on websites like Craigslist, Monster.com, and Indeed.com. One of the benefits of becoming a medical transcriptionist is that many physician's and hospitals will allow you to work from home. This option will give you the most flexibility as you'll be able to make your own hours. Working from home will require you to purchase your own equipment. You'll need a good computer with an internet connection, a foot-pedal and transcription software, a place to work. Foot pedals allow you to start and stop the recordings you are transcribing without having to lift your hands off the keyboard. You can purchase foot pedals and the corresponding transcription software online at stores like Amazon.com, or you can find them at stores like OfficeMax. If your goal is to work from home, make sure to specify this when you call physician's offices. For example, you might say, "I'm a home-based medical transcriptionist and I'm looking to add to my client list." Whether you'll be working in a physician's office, for a third-party transcription service, or from home, you'll need to apply for the job. Most employers will ask for a copy of your resume, as well as proof of any training or certifications you may have. Make your resume more attractive to employers by emphasizing transcription-related skills from your previous jobs. If asked how your previous experience applies to the job of a medical transcriptionist, you might say, "I previously worked in customer service, where I spent a lot of time listening to people and typing notes on a computer. This work prepared me for the multitasking required of a medical transcriptionist."
