Hello, and welcome to the Week in Review for April 21 - 27. This is my way of catching you up on any blogs you may have missed in the past week! This week, we had a lot of fun talking about transcription, and then medical transcription in particular. If you have any feedback or comments, feel free to either leave a comment below or get in touch with me at Hava L {at} Families dot com! Thanks for reading!

Are Medical Transcriptionists Going the Way of Dinosaurs? talks about the idea that most people seem to have--don't bother becoming an MT because you're going to be replaced by technology anyway. That's not how I see it, and I think you'll agree after you read the blog! (hint, hint)

Well, What about Legal and General Transcriptionists--Are They Outdated? tackles the same question, but this time for LTs and GTs. The Hazards of Being a Transcriptionist covers the occupational hazards that come with being a transcriptionist. Yes, there are some, believe it or not. You have to read my blog to find out what though. (I'm so sneaky.)

A Question A Week: Cellphones vs Landlines talks about the move away from landlines and towards cellphones in the homes today, and how that affects the jobs that people can get from home. Have You Got the Right Stuff? discusses the characteristics that a successful transcriptionist will have. Not everyone is cut out to be a transcriptionist--yours truly is included in that bunch.

The Common Denominator in Transcription lists the qualities that all transcription fields (medical, legal, and general) have in common. This is the last blog that deals with all three fields; I then start the focus on the medical field, beginning with Do I Have to go to School to Become a Medical Transcriptionist? You have to read the blog to find out the answer. (Anyone starting to see a pattern here?)

Does a CNA, LPN, RN, or Other Medical Professional Also Have to go to MT School? highlights the fact that although these professions teach much of the medical background needed to become an MT, there is a lot more still to learn. A Bit of History about Medical Transcription Schools talks about MT schools and The Big Three.

Thursday, April 26

Medical Transcription Schools: M-Tec, Part One and Part Two starts off the focus on a specific MT school, and even more specifically, on M-TEC. This focus is continued to...

Friday, April 27

...Friday, where I post part Part Three and Part Four of the M-TEC interview.

Thanks for reading, and we'll see you back here next week, where we'll interview Linda from Andrews School and also Career Step! Don't miss it!
