Military Records

If you’re the proud spouse of an active-duty servicemember, you know that moving from state to state, as needed, is part of their job. And sometimes, starting over is tough – especially if you contribute to your family’s financial stability.  But what if you could maintain a fulfilling career, no matter where you moved? If that sounds like a plan to you, consider a career as a professional medical transcriptionist.

Medical transcription involves interpreting oral dictations from doctors and other health care professionals into accurate data for patient medical records. Doctors speak into a tape recorder and the recordings are typically sent to a transcriptionist via the Internet. So no mater where your spouse is stationed, you can complete your transcription work as long as you have an Internet connection.

As a medical transcriptionist, you have the choice to work from the comfort of home – no matter where home is. It’s a very attractive career choice, especially for moms who want to be home with their children and save money on childcare. Plus, you can adjust your schedule as needed. So if you decide you want to take a Friday off, it’s up to you. With a medical transcription career, you have the flexibility to balance life with your career goals.

Not only can you work from home, but you can train from home too – just choose a convenient online medical transcription school! But be selective so you receive the best training possible. Make sure your online medical transcription school has the proper accreditation, financial assistance options, live student support and career assistance.

As a military spouse, you may be eligible for a Career Advancement Account (CAA). That means up to 100% of your education costs could be covered. Not all online schools accept CAA funds, so do some investigative work before committing to any programs.
