What is Medical Transcription Anyway?Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 FAQ  Medical Transcription is one of the fastest growing professions in the US, and many transcriptionists are able to work from the comfort of their homes. As a medical transcriptionist, you
keyboard a physician's dictated report into a patient's permanent, legal healthcare record.
