I worked several years in the Medical Transcription field. It is legit, but there are a LOT of scam employers and schools in this field.The US Department of Labor states Employment of medical transcriptionists is projected to grow 14 percent from 2006 to 2016, faster than the average for all occupations. Demand for medical transcription services will be spurred by a growing and aging population. Older age groups receive proportionately greater numbers of medical tests, treatments, and procedures that require documentation. A high level of demand for transcription services also will be sustained by the continued need for electronic documentation that can be shared easily among providers, third-party payers, regulators, consumers, and health information systems. Growing numbers of medical transcriptionists will be needed to amend patients�� records, edit documents from speech recognition systems, and identify discrepancies in medical reports. Wage-and-salary medical transcriptionists had median hourly earnings of $14.40 in May 2006. The middle 50 percent earned between $12.17 and $17.06. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $10.22, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $20.15. If your hoping to get into this field, though, you will most likely need training from an AHDI approved program. Most employers require experience or participation in one of the top AHDI approved schools. If your looking into Medical Transcription pay the extra in tuition to attend an approved school.Many people have received training through inadequate programs only to find out that they are unable to find a job. AHDI sets the standards for MT courses. Employers know that graduates of these approved courses have gained the skills necessary to begin their career as an MT. ------ AHDI is the Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity - www.ahdionline.org (formerly known as the American Association for Medical Transcription).I attended Career Step and recieved a job (at-home) less than a week after graduating. I ve received several more job offers since, but have stuck with my original employer because of the flexibility they offer. Career Step is an AHDI approved program and they are partnered with many of the major MT employers. In other words, their graduates get the jobs. Many companies require 2-3 years experience, however, a lot of these companies will waive this requirement if you graduate from the right school.I recommend CS because they are partnered with MANY employers, self-paced (you can finish in a few months or take as long as over a year or two), and more affordable than many courses. Plus, I have personal experience (and success) with the program. Attending your local community college will give you a good chance at a job in-house, but if you are wanting to work from home, an online approved course is the way to go. Choosing the right school is so important! They do offer financial aid and payment plans. :)If you have any questions, feel free to contact me: bcharmed01 at yahoo dot com
Medical transcription is a legitimate work-at-home job. Even with a certificate from a reputable medical transcription education program, it can be difficult to get a job, as most companies require experience. However, some do hire graduates from a few select schools, so the program you choose will make a difference in your ability to get a job in this field. You may also have the qualifications to work in general or focus group transcription - fast, accurate keyboarding skills and prior secretarial experience is what most companies are looking for.

Yes what you have observed is correct. Never pay any upfront. Paid surveys may help you I think.
no such thing as work at home jobs - only businesses with no guarantee of profit
there aren t any online jobs.
Data entry, no. First, you have to be able to type for at least 4 hours straight, at a good speed, with not a single error. Second, you re competing with a lot of people who can do that and who think that $2 a day is a lot of money. (My company has tens of thousands of pages of data entered every night - the only work done in the US is work that can t legally be done outside the country. And those people make just over minimum wage.)Otherwise, data entry is done as a normal part of other jobs. In someone s office.As far as medical transcription, get a Usenet (internet news or nntp) program and subscribe to the sci.med.transcription group. (It s free, and you can find programs for free - I ve been using Thunderbird on a new computer and it s not too bad.) These are people who are actually in the field, running their own transcription businesses. (One friend of mine raised her two daughters on that income.) They ll be more than glad to give you ideas. If you live near one of them, and they have extra work, they may even hire you.Also, check http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/TakeControlOfY�� It s the only thing I ve ever seen for online work that seems legitimate.
