My Story  

Experience in the field and helping others

I am a seasoned medical transcriptionist.  I have more than 17 years of medical transcription experience covering a wide range of medical specialties.  My experience includes transcribing, editing, and training.  I have worked for small and mid size companies both locally and across the country via the Internet and also provide transcription service to my own clients.  I have an extensive collection of voice files (dictations) on tapes and on digital files as well as all of the corresponding transcripts.  It is from my huge collection that I have put together CD's which serve to introduce prospective medical transcriptionists to the field, help newbies acquire more practice, and introduce established transcriptionists to the developing arena of digital transcription.

From Humble Beginnings 

I was a stay-at-home mom raising two elementary school age children, married, and living in the suburbs.  With the kids in school, I had time to fill and a desire to do something with my life that would supplement the family income and yet allow me to be home with my children.  My goal was simple: I wanted to work from home.

I spent several months combing through books and magazines at the library and bookstores and searching the Internet for potential sources of working from home.  There is an overwhelming abundance of get-rich-quick schemes out there!  However, I was looking for a legitimate home-based business.

I came upon medical transcription.  I had never heard of medical transcription before.  The more I learned, the more convinced I was that this was the home-based business for me.  I learned all I could and it didn’t take long before I got my first medical transcription job and I was working from my home. 

It was hard at first.  I had a lot to learn.  With a good selection of resource materials at hand – reference books, magazines, networking tools, and especially the loving support of my family, I persevered.  I gained confidence.  My business grew.  My life became fuller.

It has been 15 years since I first discovered the business of medical transcription.  The work is certainly interesting.  New drugs, new equipment, advances in procedures, even new diseases combine with the broad spectrum of specialties such that  there is always more to learn and more to know.  I set my own hours, part-time or full-time – schedules that change to accommodate the twists and turns of life.  Often an abundance of work forces me to have to turn new clients away!  I take pride in knowing that I am contributing to the medical community.  Being a medical transcriptionist has afforded me the opportunity to work at home.  It has enabled me to supplement my family’s income in a substantial way.  It has provided me with a career that has been personally and financially rewarding.

There is a great demand for medical transcriptionists - to work on site in hospitals, doctors’ offices, and other medical centers as well as to work from home locally and even over the Internet.  Investigate the possibilities and take your first peek into the real world of medical transcription with Period Paragraph.  You, too, can set your goals to become a medical transcriptionist.
