Medical Transcription course
Been taking the Medical Transcription course for four days now. I really have to say, I am bored with it. Medicine is boring unless you have the desire to take it. I'm taking the course to open new doors for me in the Medical Transcription field. Sure it's a turn off that starting salaries of transcriptionists in the Philippines is approximately 9k Pesos, but actually having a direct line to a doctor in the States is as close to gold as it will get netting between 25k to 50k Pesos a month depending on quota.
I'm studying at the Diliman, Quezon City branch of MTC Academy for almost a week now. Each day has a lecture in the morning ang laboratory work (typing) in the afternoon. I admit I'm whining about it already. I'm forced to type properly wherein I position my fingers at the A,S,D,F, and J,K,L,: keys instead of the 'tuldok system' which gives me 60+wpm at 95% accuracy.
Anyway, as far as I can see I'll probably fail every written test about the medical terms. Heres hoping I coast it.
