Internship Program in the Works

By Online Transcription Essentials June 2010

 
Online Transcription Essentials has personal hands-on experience helping new graduates and veteran medical transcriptionists become successful.  The biggest stumbling block for medical transcriptionists is the ability to grow in their career without a working knowledge of their computer and its associated software.  We have over 10 years experience helping transcriptionists get up and running along with assisting veteran transcriptionists become more familiar with the computer in which they operate.  Our online course has been doing just that, but we want to take it one step further with the help of a few MTSOs.

Why are there such a small number of MTSOs that offer positions to newly trained medical transcriptionists?  Lack of on-the-job experience?  Lack of computer knowledge?  Lack of personnel for training?  In this business, MTSOs need their MTs to be self-sufficient, quick learners and very computer savvy, especially within independent contractor positions.  Over the years, we have personally trained MTs direct from transcription programs and nurtured them to become knowledgeable, accurate and productive workers.

Consider Online Transcription Essentials as your internship program trainer.


What can you do to help?  We are looking for a few good MTSOs.  Maybe you are bombarded with training and really need the MTs to get up and running on their own.  Online Transcription Essentials can help.  We would like to offer our current online students an internship program, and this is how it will work:

 

Contract us as one of your IC QA personnel.  We will train on your account and software for a couple days.  Once we have a full understanding, we will bring on several newly graduated MTs (5-10) to transcribe the work (only 5 reports per day).  We will provide training on your software (if applicable), set up the trainees, provide them feedback, monitor their progress, perform accuracy checks, etc.  When they obtain the level of accuracy your company requires on a consistent basis (within a specified time), you will offer them a position (if available).  All you pay for is the work we complete.

This is a win-win scenario.  You get MTs fully trained on your software and your accounts, the MTs get experience and possibly a new job, and Online Transcription Essentials will get the opportunity to assist new graduate MTs in obtaining a position straight out of school.

Contact us to set up a time to see if your company would be a perfect fit for our program and to make a venture like this work for all parties involved.

Newbies needs work too.  How will they get experience if no one gives them a chance!  Help us put "our" MTs to work!
