#1. The flexibility

The main reason why our grads love being Medical Transcriptionists is the flexibility that this job comes with.

Just think about it: you get to set your own work hours and make money from the comfort of your home. Since Medical Transcription / Healthcare Documentation is a productivity-based job, you are in control of your schedule and workload.

You can do some transcribing in the morning then take off in the middle of the day to go for a 1 pm yoga class. Or, you can wake up in the middle of the night to do some transcribing if you feel like it!

Besides, you can decide whether you want to work full-time or do this as a part-time side hustle.

Medical transcription is truly the career that works around your schedule!

 

#2. Being able to take care of our babies

Correct me if I am wrong, but when you become a parent, your responsibilities naturally extend way beyond the office walls. And boy, can it be challenging to balance a traditional nine-to-five work schedule and a family.

If you feel like you lack some work-life balance, becoming a Medical Transcriptionist could be the solution.

You see, when you work as an MT, you are in control of your hours. Having a flexible schedule means you can make time for your kids and contribute to your family budget at the same time.

Besides, think about all of the money you can save on a daycare! Yep, we are talking a five figures savings here! Just saying.

 

#3.  … and our fur babies too

Let’s be honest, we all hate that feeling of guilt about not spending enough time with our fur-babies.

With Medical Transcription career neither your or your pet will get separation anxiety anymore.

With this freedom and flexibility that comes with this career, you can take your fur-ever friend to the park whenever you feel like it.

 

#4. Making a difference

As a medical transcriptionist, you make a difference in a patient’s life. Yes, most of the time you work behind the scenes, but that does not make Medical Transcription any less important!

You wouldn’t believe how vital accurate medical documentation is! Accurate medical data helps doctors to assess the current situation and decide on the treatment. It can save lives.  

Without accurate documentation, health care could be compromised, and patients can be at risk.

 

#5. Working in pyjamas

We are pyjama professionals, and we are proud to be!

Yes, it sounds like a cliche, but seriously, how cool it is to have the freedom to wear whatever you want to work!

No need to wear an itchy three-piece suit or high heels every day – ladies you know what I’m talking about.  

Aside from being comfy at work, think about the amount of time and money you can save on makeup, professional business attires, shave and curl.

It’s wear pyjamas to work day. Everyday.
