MY STORY

Hello, my name is Debbie Wolfe. I have owned and operated my own medical transcription company since 1993.  My business is run out of my home and has been very successful.  In 2000, I started teaching medical transcription full-time at our local public vocational school.  I enjoy teaching and sharing my methods for learning medical transcription with others.  

I got into medical transcription largely by accident when a friend of mine (who was a transcriptionist) had to move due to her husband's job transfer.  She had only one small client and asked me if I would take it over doing it after work for some extra money.  "How hard could it be" I thought to myself.  I said, "Sure".  BOY, WAS I IN FOR A SURPRISE!  The one thing I'm not is a quitter. I would struggle until after midnight nearly every night trying to transcribe about 15 minutes worth of this doctor's dictation.  He had a big word for everything you could imagine and could say them all FAST.  I think I made about fifty-cents an hour.  I constantly referred to printed transcripts from old dictations that my friend had given me, looking for similar words, phrases, form, structure, and so forth.  I spent hours with my nose buried in a medical dictionary, all in an effort to turn in accurate, quality work.  (I can do that same dictation now in about 20 minutes.)

Although I'd never recommend starting the way I did, I must say that after about 6 months of "being in the trenches" I would stack my work up against anyone's.

This endeavor motivated me to create a program to teach others medical transcription through a very practical, hands-on approach based on the way I learned.
