Julio Said:

I have a medical degree and training in psychiatry but no US Medical License,"What career choices do I have?""?

We Answered:

If you can't get a medical license then you could look for Psychiatric Technician jobs at hospitals and state facilities. You might also look for paramedic or nursing jobs, if they will accept your credentials.

How do I find out where I should do my Medical Transcription training Penn Foster or Career Step? HELP!?

We Answered:

I teach medical front office but honestly don't know much about either school. Check with local employers and find out which training programs they prefer. Some employers will not hire graduates of certain schools.

Generally your least expensive options would be your local junior college, adult school or regional occupation training program (ROP). It is best if they provide an externship. The private schools are the most expensive but usually do provide an externship of some sort.

Before you begin ANY training program I recommend you check your local area to find out whether or not there is a need for transcriptionists. Some doctors now use voice recognition software, electronic medical records or outsource their transcription to another country (it's cheaper and with the time difference the reports are done when the doctor arrives the next morning) so they don't hire locally.
