As a graduate of At-Home Professions, I have not been able to find a job! I have been done with medical transcriptioning school for a few years. I have applied to hundreds of physician's offices. Just about everyone has switched over to EMR's, which replaces the role of a medical transcriptionist.
At-Home Professions will go around the United States setting up seminars promising people (and stay at home moms love this):
Work from Home
Set your own hours
Make alot of money
Demand for this career is very high.
Employement opportunities will be so high by the year 2014.
Well, $2500 later spent on their schooling, I can testify this is not true at all. The demand and job opportunities for this career are poor.
There are still some hospitals that use medical transcriptionists, and some older doctor offices that are close to retirement and do not want to invest the time and money into electronic records may use a medical transcriptionist, but overall MOST PHYSICIAN OFFICES have switched to ALL ELECTRONIC RECORDS, making it very difficult for a graudate to get a job as a medical transcriptionist.
And watch out for medical transcription service companies! Yes, they are out there. But for a new graduate to find a job with a transcription service company is extremely difficult, as they require atleast 3 to 5 years of acute care experience to consider you for employment.
Overall, I am extremely disappointed that I was suckered in by At-Home Professions. I spent alot of money and wasted alot of years searching for a job that is being replaced by EMRs. Hopefully, At-Home Professions will give refunds to all of those who took a chance on them, and it backfired.
