Job Outlook for Medical Transcriptionist
Powered by Glassdoor Economic ResearchMedical transcriptionists convert physician voice recordings and handwritten notes into written patient health records. Technological advances are reducing the demand for medical transcriptionists by allowing physicians to create their own documentation more easily in real-time. At the same time, an aging population with high rates of chronic health problems continues to drive some demand for all healthcare professionals. Working as a medical transcriptionist only requires associate-level training in medical terminology and basic computer skills, so the job can be an entry-point for those considering a healthcare career.
