The meaning for the word “recession” has been felt and experienced by many in India and elsewhere in the past 2 years. Very few industries are recession proof and health care and health care documentation industry is one such industry that have once again proved that it is immune to recession.
Though, the Medical Transcription (MT) industry has crossed a decade presence in India and an estimated 30 000 professionals are working in this Industry but the message of numerous job opportunities available in the MT industry has not reached the masses.
Many job aspirants think that Medical Transcription job openings are for medical or science student and in reality it is not so. Anybody who has good English comprehension skills can become a Medical Transcriptionist after undergoing 4 months of training.
In the US, each doctor has to prepare a report about his patient care for insurance and record purposes. Since the doctors' time is very costly, they normally use a specialist called a medical transcriptionist to prepare their patient report.
Unlike our forefathers, the present generation is depending more on the healthcare system to have a peaceful life and this in turn triggers in to more healthcare documentation (Medical Transcription) work for us. Specifically in the US, the entire healthcare industry is based on Insurance and detailed medical records are needed for processing insurance claims and therefore there is huge demand for Medical Transcriptionist.
The average growth rate of the India MT industry is 30% and it is expected to grow significantly in spite of the recession. It is estimated that by the year 2010, India will have 52 000 Medical Transcriptionists.
One of the big advantages of MT is that it gives the benefit for an employee to work from home and therefore this career is much sought by women.
