We asked Andrea Khan about her training and her experience with medical transcription.

Why did you become a Medical Transcription / Healthcare Documentation Specialist?

It’s a long story, but we recently went through some big changes. We became first-time parents and moved cities and I left my job in economic development. With all these changes came an opportunity to decide what I wanted to do that would balance my personal, professional, and family goals. A good friend introduced me to medical transcription. It seemed like the perfect fit. Especially because I have always had a great interest in the medical field.

What do you enjoy about Medical Transcription?

I have been working in the field for about 4 months now. I am really enjoying learning something new every day. It’s a role that is consistent but not repetitive and as a lover of stats, it’s easy to track my improvement and continue to challenge myself with new goals. The flexibility is fantastic. I enjoy working from home even more than I expected to.

What was your Medical Transcription Program like?

I really enjoyed the program. It was informative and challenging. This was the first time I had completed an online program and I appreciated the fact that it allowed me to complete the course early. The instructors were helpful. My practicum instructor was especially helpful. I received multiple job offers upon completion.

What do you enjoy in your free time?

Family time is one of my favorite ways to spend time. Days at the lake, baking, and board games are especially enjoyable. Having flexibility in work is amazing – my husband and I joke that we are living a semi-retired life now!
