Everything MT
It's been one of my goals to write articles for people interested in medical transcription to help them avoid scams and decide whether this is the right career for them.
This will be a growing page, so stop by often. I also plan on adding more lenses for those already in the field with how-to's, book and product reviews, and other MT-related stuff. I will also link to articles on other websites I write for.
