How can I work From Home in the medical transcription field?

I am just completing my medical transcription course and was wondering how it works from home. I find the field of Pathology the most interesting and would love to work in thaf field, working from home. What I’m wondering is how it works, for instance, do I tap into a website to get the transcriptions? Thanks for any help.

I worked in the medical field (physician office and hospitals) for years and years. Most of the doctor’s I worked with didn’t use a service or website to hire for transcription. It was usually someone who came into the office with a flyer about their service and their prices. Once hired, the person would come in at the end of the day and pick up the tapes for that day and would usually return them within 3 days. Most hospitals don’t hire independent transcription contractors. They hire employees who work from the hospital. However, with telecommuting now becoming so popular, I would think a few calls to the HR dept. of several hospitals might just snag you a contract or two. You might also make a few calls to some labs in your area—you mentioned path is fascinating to you. I think if you market yourself in the right way and you have competitive pricing you’d have a really good chance of convincing some of the smaller places to give you a chance even if that hasn’t been the norm for them in the past. Everyone is looking to save on costs right now!
