Is Pathology easy to do? I have 8 years in acute care but have never done pathology or radiology and might be interested in a change.

Try the Job Seekers board. Many of them sm
indicate that they hire US MTs only.
It looks like on the Job Seekers' board that most
I wonder how many of those clicks results in resumes. Seems like all the companies would be getting inundated with applicants right now.
If you look at the Job Seekers board you will see
your questions.  Also Transcription Relief Services is another company that is always looking. 
See the Job Seekers board, please. (SM)
The job advertisements are very descriptive. You should be able to discern easily who has insurance and who doesn't.

The Company board is for asking about specific companies.

Do you mean the Job Seekers board?
I count 23 job postings in the last week, so I would say it's far from dried up.

WAITING FOR WORK? POSTING ON JOB SEEKERS BOARD.sm

07/28/09 for new MTs, FT & PT, all shifts.  Are they saying the accounts are UNDERSTAFFED?


Naturally, the new hirees will be gooing and gushing all over this board again about how GREAT their accounts are and how  EASY their dictators are.


I JUST WONDER WHAT THIS LATEST, YET ANOTHER HIRING BLITZ IS GOING TO LEAD TO IN ANOTHER FEW WEEKS.  Anyone care to predict?  .


I love doing pathology, but it is hard to find a position for working at home. Gross pathology is
easy, descriptive typing.  Microscopic is a little more difficult, but once you get the terminology down, it goes really quickly.  I also found it easy to get lines in with pathology.  If you've done acute care, you should not have a problem with the transition, IMHO. 
transcriber
In the transcription industry, a transcriber is one who merely types what they hear (therefore blanks and errors) while a Transcriptionist is a specialist in the field.
Yes, we are the transcriber, but it sounds as
if it were a machine, like recorder, transformer, comforter, a thing!
Medical Transcriber, II
Does anyone have any information on this company? I searched the archives but didn't find anything. Thanks!
Verbatim Transcriber Wanted
*PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING*

We are seeking highly qualified experienced transcribers to handle the increased workload. We are ramping up for a very busy season and with that we are structuring our staff to handle the new volume of work.

Transcribers must be highly proficient and experienced transcribers. Only transcribers with experience transcribing from digital files will be hired. Please indicate your years of transcription experience and your current WPM. Please-No beginners, no students- you will not receive a response.

We prefer transcribers who can transcribe from digital video files as well as digital audio files. (MP4, MOV, WMV, RM) using the StartStop Transcription system. If you use a different system please state which one you use.

We have a series of interviews and conferences in digital audio format that need to be transcribed verbatim. This includes every single utterance and noise in the audio. Our client will have a linguist specialist go through the audio so it is important the transcript is exact. The content is not technical, speakers sometimes will have heavy southern accents, and the audio is mostly clear.

Accuracy is the key with these transcripts.
-Ability to include every phrase, word, utterance, and background noises
-Above average grammar skills
-Speaker recognition skills (ability to correctly identify multiple speakers in the audio)

There are quite a few of these and we would like someone dependable to work on this project.

Candidates must have the ability to transcribe from home with high-speed internet, a foot pedal, and up-to-date computer software.

Please email all relevant data and resume to careers@anptranscriptions.com


Standard tape transcriber
Hi all!  Anyone have, or know where, I can purchase a standard tape transcriber at a decent price?
A C-phone is a digital transcriber. You use it to dial into
a system, possibly you dial directly into the hospital system or possibly the office system and you use the foot pedal connected to the C-phone to control the dictation, the same as you would any type of food pedal.   C-phone is the term you hear most often just like you hear Kleenex for tissues.  There are many such units that are compatible with multiple systems.   A C-phone will usually cost you $200+, but you can sometimes find a good deal on the equipment board here or on e-bay.   You need to have a surge protector on the phone line as well as on the power supply, or disconnect every time there is a storm.  Also avoid having any fluids near the C-phone, especially if they have sugar in them - ask me how I know.  
There is an ad on the Job Seeker Board for MTs with Keystrokes. nm
.
This board is not to attack people by name. Please read about Keystrokes. sm

attack people by name.  In Lee's defense, she has over 200 people working for Keystrokes now and accounts in a lot of different states.  As managers, we have started taking on more of the day-to-day and HR and the clerical staff take care of the transcriptionists.  It is a hard thing to learn as an entrepreneur but delegating is very important.  We are finally seeing her do this, and things are much smoother.  One person simply cannot do it all in a company of this size.  I wouldn't want to own my own company for that reason.  The hours she works would kill me and I would be divorced.  The constant travel of this year would cause most people to take days off after each trip, but I have talked to her hours after she got in from a one-day trip for a meeting to sign a contract and while tired, she is still out there making sure that our jobs are secure.


No one was out to get you or to mess up your life.  I am sure that there is more to the story than you are saying but I find it hard to believe that you were ignored.  I personally talk to each person hired for one of my accounts and make sure that they have all that they need. 


If you came during a hectic time and felt you were not treated fairly, on behalf of the company, I apologize.  However, and this is not an excuse, with the growth that Keystrokes has experienced, there are bound to be hectic times and bound to be changes.  I, for one, am glad that the changes make Keystrokes a better place to work.  I hope that someday Keystrokes replaces MQ and Spheris at the top of the national companies and know that if they do not, it is because they refuse to compromise and hurt the transcriptionists. 


Life is about choices.  Mine has worked well for me.  We should all help each other rather than carry around so much negativity. 


Where do the pathology MT's
work who are being pd  cpl.  You say this like this is standard. I have never heard this.  Can you be more specific?
pathology
hey all.............anything happening in the world of pathology?  any at home positions with this field out there?  any hospitals hiring in pathology department?  just wanted to kick this one around.......................thanks
Pathology
I would love to know where in MQ the path gets done; would love to transfer there. Info?
Pathology

I would like any and all opinions and comments on how to go about getting pathology accounts as an IC working on-site.  How much would you charge?  What are the good markets (city, state, etc).  Would you stay local or go national?  Is this a good specialty to get into, is the work and accounts stable?  Ok, thanks all!


RE: Pathology
In my opinion, the nature of patholgoy transcription, especially histological, which is dictated in two parts (micro, gross), necessitates it is done on-site/in-house, and in the area where I currently live, all hospitals do not outsource this portion of their transcription; done in either pathology laboratories or within a hospital itself. Again, my opinion only.
pathology
I'm in northwest indiana, just outside of chicago....
Pathology
For many years I was an IC who worked at home for the path department of a huge teaching hospital. It worked out very well.
Pathology
I would love to know companies that need pathology transcriptionists.  I have 12 years experience in pathology and LOVE IT!  I am currently doing cardiology because I can't find a pathology experience.  I would love if it someone could tell me who needs pathology transcriptionists!
Pathology
I live in Georgia.
I'm very curious; why do pathology MTs get 13 cpl,
nm
unfortunately radiology and pathology
will see a great decline in the number of MTs mainly due to voice recognition. A lot of companies that are developing VR platforms are focusing on these two specialties since they tend to be more monotonous than your basic acute care dictation. I also personally think that hospitals are now starting to oursource their radiology and patholgoy work more now because of this and to cut back costs.
Pathology transcription
I was wondering if you would be willing to tell me who you worked for at home doing pathology transcription? I would really like to get back into but not many jobs available.
Thanks

spheris pathology
Does anyone here work for Spheris doing pathology? How is it?
Anyone do Pathology for SmartMed?

I think that many job seekers

view the insurance provided and premium rate to be quite, quite high on the list of important information needed, so I do not think this is a bash post.  It seems the uncertainty about insurance with this particular entity has been questioned several times over the last month or so, therefore it is a valid topic for discussion.  Thanks for management coming on and providing specific information.


 


 


I'm sure it has been asked 100 times but any company have pathology?
 
Andrews School....radiology & pathology
I called Andrews School today just to see what they had to offer.  The person I talked to said that radiology is like pathology and is typically done in-house.  She also stated that in about ten years that radiology AND pathology will be eliminated departments in most hospitals if not all.  What struck me though was her surprise when I told her that radiology is done by many at-home medical transcriptionists.  I beg to differ with this lady because on the MTJobs.com board, I always see companies looking for at-home radiology medical transcriptionists, and quite frequently mind you.  I would like some feedback about this please.  Is this lady talking out of her ear (and I think she is.)  Do you think radiology AND pathology will be eliminated as departments in the future?  Is your opinion that radiology is frequently done by at-home medical transcriptionists?  And what is everybody's opinion of Andrews School?  Personally I think they are incredibly expensive.  She quoted me 3800 bucks for the course with a minimum deposit of 1000 dollars.  And she didn't seem too worried about quality but rather my typing speed and how quick I could get through the course.  Any and all information would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
