   IS MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION FOR YOU?

    Whenever anyone sees a medical practitioner, the medical practitioner is required by US law to document the encounter. Generally these medical professionals dictate to a recording device so that a medical transcriptionist can transcribe the report into a written document. This basic practice of converting a medical dictation into written form is called medical transcription. The person transcribing the report is a Medical Transcriptionist.

    In the United States, the medical transcription industry is so large that it has blossomed into a 13 to 23 BILLION dollar industry growing at an average rate of 10% -13% per annum. Depending on the average production capacity of each medical transcriptionist, this billion dollar industry generates anywhere from 50,000 to 150,000 additional jobs per year!
