New Chapter

For several years now I have been preparing to enter a new career as a medical transcriptionist - one who takes physician-dictated recordings and turns them into written reports that become part of the patient's permanent record. Since finishing the training late in 2010, I have applied to numerous positions, but have been uniformly turned down because they want someone with experience. However, recently a friend from church who is head of Pathology at the University of Michigan made some inquiries for me, and this past week I received an offer for a temporary position working for them. It may not be permanent yet, but it's an excellent first step, and way to gain that needed experience!
