Medical Transcriptionist Job Description & Earning Potential
What Will I Be Doing as a Medical Transcriptionist?
The medical transcription industry includes medical transcriptionists and medical transcription editors. Career Step training can prepare you for both of these career paths:
- Medical transcriptionists type up written reports of the audio files doctors record after they interact with patients. These written reports are then included in the patient’s medical record.
- Medical transcription editors are specialized medical transcriptionists who correct and edit written reports created by speech recognition software, which automatically translates the doctor’s dictation into text.
Most of these professionals work from home, although there are a few who work on-site for hospitals or clinics. With Career Step’s medical transcription training, you can gain the skills you need to work from home in either of these roles, making you more flexible when you’re looking for a job.
How Much Can I Make as a Medical Transcriptionist?
Most medical transcriptionists are paid on production, so the more you work the more you can make. The U.S. Department of Labor reports that the middle 50% of medical transcriptionists earn between $27,240 and $39,820 a year.

I scored very well on the company test, and I know it was due to my training in the Career Step program!" Read More Testimonials »

- "I just got hired by a prestigious MT company. I graduated from Career Step 1 month and 12 days before. When I heard that honors graduates, on average, get jobs within a month of graduating, I was very skeptical. This sounded too good to be true. The fact is, Career Step is the main reason I got the job that I did. My new employers said they only hire from Career Step and one other MT program. They are very familiar with the quality of Career Step's training and do not even require testing if you graduated recently. " Read More Testimonials »

I was attracted to Career Step because I am a military spouse, and I was looking for a new career that would be easy to transfer, as my family transfers from one base to another. . . . As a new graduate, I look forward to all the new opportunities that Career Step has opened up to me." Read More Testimonials »

You work so hard for a 2- or 4-year college degree and then are left with no on-the-job experience and no employment when you've graduated.
