I am a stay at home mom and I homeschool and I need to bring in some extra income so I can continue to homeschool my son. At my local community college continuing education center they have a course for medical transcrtption. They are telling me that I can work from home. Has anyone done this and what has been your experience with working from home. (or is it really possible to find a job like this working from home??
Any help/opinion/advice would be appriciated.
Thank You.
I don’t do medical transcriptions but I work from home as a rep for 2 Fortune 500 company. It’s good money and I can still care for my children. Let me know if you need more info.

I was a medical transcriptionist working from home for 13 years.
Many transcriptionists get their training through a course of study while others carry their medical terminology knowledge with them from other health related fields. You would need to get the terminology down, and then get started. Many companies want experience so there’s a catch-22. However, doctors and hospitals may be hiring, and after a time you can work from home as many transcriptionists do.
There’s some excellent information for anyone considering a career in this field in the website listed below. No affiliation with any school or products, just good info, including real job listings in coding, billing, and transcription.
You can also list your medical transcription service in their directory for free.
