Many employers of Medical Transcriptionists throughout North America specifically seek out CanScribe graduates… And some of those employers are CanScribe graduates themselves.
As a graduate of CanScribe’s Medical Transcription/Healthcare Documentation program over 10 years ago, Emily Fardy is now reaping the rewards of her hard work. She currently teaches a college transcription course and runs her own business providing transcription services. Like many major transcription companies, Emily also prefers to hire CanScribe graduates, considering them highly skilled and employable.
“I graduated from CanScribe in 2005 after completing the course during a maternity leave. Upon graduation, I originally obtained work in-house at a hospital here in London, ON. Over time, I began to desire clients of my own. At first, I started looking for private practice offices in need of transcription services and secured a community health clinic as my clients. It was hard work to maintain a consistent TAT (turn-around time) and ensure the documents were thoroughly proofed, but word started to spread throughout the industry about my quality and efficiency. Doors were opening for me.
I now provide transcription services to various clinics in Alberta, Nova Scotia as welll as many clinics here in Ontario. My clients range from single practice doctors to multi-disciplinary facilities with numerous clinics. I currently have one full-time CanScribe graduate employed and many part-time CanScribe ICs (Independent Contractors) who offer amazing flexibility as they continue with their other pursuits. This is mutually beneficial, as I can always offer additional work while they are all willing to help out in a pinch if I am unexpectedly inundated.
Also, I teach Medical Transcription part-time at both a community and career college. And I always tell my students if they are serious about a career in transcription they must enroll in CanScribe.
After years of proofreading documents in-house, as a teacher of a college transcription course, and as a business owner providing transcription services, I can honestly say CanScribe graduates are second to none. Period. It is my absolute preference to hire them as they work right out of the box.
I NEVER have to correct the little idiosyncrasies found in the BOS (Book of Style) like I do with non-graduates. Grammar, spelling and proper transcription protocol is always adhered to and my proofreading time is significantly reduced. Clients notice and appreciate that we process their documents appropriately. New business is consistently knocking on my door; I know the quality of work speaks for itself. I hope to recruit many more CanScribe graduates as my business continues to grow!”

Robert was born in Midland, Ontario on January 11, 1953 and passed away in Nanaimo on November 20, 2009. Robert was the youngest of three. I was the oldest, Doug was the middle child. Our mother and father were divorced when we were very young. Our mother remarried a man who had three sons and then another girl and another boy was born. So there was eight of us altogether. Robert moved to Toronto, Ontario after high school and worked in various jobs there. He then moved to Edmonton, Alberta in 1976 and on to British Columbia in 1977. He lived in Vancouver, Victoria, and finally resided in Nanaimo. Robert had a great sense of determination and optimism. The more he could learn, the happier he was. He continued his education in B.C. at Simon Fraser University. He also took courses in the culinary field and worked as a chef for many years. He also studied law and worked as a paralegal. He studied religions and languages (he could speak many languages) and took many computer courses. He took a Medical Terminology Course, and Emergency First Aid which included CPR.
Unfortunately, Robert's health was never great. He was born a "Blue Baby" and not expected to live. He lived with the HIV virus and with cancer. This was a big factor in his determination to be able to work at home and was why he was taking the Medical Transcription course. Robert was involved with various charitable organizations for many, many years. He cooked numerous meals at food kitchens for the homeless, especially at Christmas and other holidays. He spent time at various senior centers, volunteering, and visiting the residents there. He was an active volunteer at the Nanaimo Parole Citizen Advisory Committee and one of the outstanding jobs he completed for them was their Committee By-laws.
I am very proud of the things that my brother achieved in his lifetime. I have received so many letters, calls and cards since his passing, all of them telling me how much he was liked and how much he will be missed. Robert spent most of his time helping others. I'm attaching a couple of pictures, one when he was very young. If there is any other information you need, please let me know. Thank you again for setting up this scholarship. It means so much to me that his name will carry on. And I know he would be extremely pleased that his name was helping others. That was his number one goal in his life - to help others.
