Introduction to Medical Transcription
|
According to the Department of Trade and Industry, MT is the next sunrise industry after the call centers.
While the share of the Philippines of the $5 billion outsourced business from the US is not even 1 percent,
the government is optimistic that it will surge significantly considering the computer skills of Filipinos and
their proficiency in English. The US Medical Transcription Industry Alliance on the other hand, recorded the
|
average employment of US
transcriptionists to be 230, 000 annually. The supply, however, is declining by 10 percent yearly. This
demand for medical transcription in the US led to the increase in investments by medical transcription firms
in other countries, including the Philippines.
Today, there is a shortage of over 300, 000 qualified MTs worldwide according to the American Association
for Medical Transcriptionists (AAMT).
