You like details. Helping doctors makes you feel like you're part of something bigger. You know that helping people means more than taking their blood pressure, it means transcribing an accurate report that gets them the care they need. You keep track of patients medical records. Without you, we wouldn't be able to learn from our past. You like that.

Medical transcriptionists are transcribers, writers and expert-listeners of all things medical. Medical transcriptionists listen to audio recordings made by physicians and other health care professionals and type what they hear into a computer.
