Career Opportunities A well-qualified and conscientious Medical Transcriptionist (MT), according to the latest information, has a secure future. There is a huge demand for MTs in all areas of the country. One only needs to visit the larger MT-based websites to see that national companies are hiring every day. With national services hiring, location is not as crucial as it once was. A transcriptionist living in Kansas, 100 miles from the nearest city, can work for a client in Chicago, Seattle, New York or Miami. This is happening more and more, as technology opens the doors for new opportunities. MTs may work for medical facilities as employees in-house, or they may work for transcription services in-house or at home, as an independent contractor or statutory employee. Each of these situations offers different benefits, and it is open to the MT to choose which option works best for them. Potential clients include doctor's offices, medical clinics, hospitals (of all shapes and sizes), rehabilitation centers, ambulance services, company medical centers, and transcription services large and small. There is also the option for the MT to acquire his or her own clients, in which case the MT is a self-employed entrepreneur! View more details on Cowley County Community College .
