Medical Transcription Jobs

Medical transcription jobs are perfect for stay-at-home moms looking for a way to make a real income online. The job of a medical transcriber involves listening to audio recorded by doctors and others in the medical field and then typing what is heard. Medical transcribers need to be knowledgeable about medical terms in order to be able to transcribe accurately. They can expect to earn $10 to $15 per hour and more with experience.

Medical transcribers need equipment to listen to the dictations (which could be by tape or a digital system), a foot pedal to quickly control the recording for fast transcribing, and a word processing program. They also need a lot of dictionaries that contain medical terms and definitions, laboratory terms, medications, surgical terms and abbreviations.

Some colleges, trade schools and hospitals offer medical transcription courses. There are also medical transcription schools available online.
