Internships

The Jumpstart Program is a medical transcription internship.

Bridge the gap for that much-desired “experience factor.” The medical transcription training and internship program has been a great success. We have created many high quality MTs and have had a lot of fun in the process! You have your own personal medical transcription mentor.

Internship Program Overview:

  • Medical Transcription Training Graduates work for actual clients until quality reaches 98%, then may switch to paid contract MT status (no job guarantee of course).
  • Generally takes about 90 days (or up to 6 months depending on performance), with detailed feedback from the editors.
  • All Meditec Medical Transcription students are automatically eligible for Jumpstart at no extra charge.
  • The Jumpstart program is open to other successful Medical transcription trainees and even experienced MTs. The cost to enroll is $400.

What You Will Need:

  • Good working knowledge of and skill with word processing software. Microsoft WORD (MS-Word) is pretty standard within the industry, but regardless of which word processor you use, you will need a good working knowledge of that software; how to setup or implement page templates, how to convert between different formats (import/export file types), how to use different fonts and page layouts, etc.
  • 512 MB Memory (RAM Memory) should be the minimum for your computer – 1-2 GB will provide much better performance.
  • 5 GB Storage (available free space on your Hard Drive).
  • 1 GHz Pentium 3 or higher, or equivilent AMD 1 GHz CPU or higher
  • Ethernet 10/100, Cable modem, DSL modem or other Broadband Service at > .75 Mbps. NOTE: A 56K dial-up modem connections may provide nominal function for some clients, but they are not recommended.
  • 17″ – 19″ or larger, SVGA or higher color monitor at 1020×768 minimum screen resolution.
  • USB; 9-pin COM port (for foot pedal if you are using a 9-pin foot pedal) [Read more: FootPedal Issues]
  • Soundblaster or other compatible audio software [Read more: Digital Dictation/Digital Sound] – Speakers/Headphones
  • Medical and pharmaceutical spellcheckers are highly recommended (check with us about that) — most spell checking programs that are included with a standard word processor, do NOT include medical terminology or pharmaceutical (drug/trade names), so a specialized “add-on” or stand-alone Medical Spell Checking program is needed.
  • Software: OS: Windows XP, Windows Vista. Windows must be Windows XP with at least Service Pack 2 (SP2) (SP3 is now available and recommended) or Windows Vista with Service Pack 1 (SP1). You can see your version of Windows and the service pack by right-clicking My Computer and selecting Properties. ADD ONS: Adobe Flash Player (most current version available recommended) – get it here: www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/. Word Processing Software: Microsoft WORD 2003 or 2007.

TESTIMONIAL — Note from a Jumpstart partner:
From: Deborah Moore
To: Jari Davis

My company has worked with Meditec for several years now on one of my larger accounts. I have been extremely pleased with the editor/mentors that Meditec provides for the Jumpstart students because of their knowledge and professionalism and I trust their judgment when it comes to hiring their students.

I can say that as far as the Jumpstart students themselves, well I am especially pleased! I have hired on every Jumpstart student that has finished the Jumpstart program while working on our accounts.

The best part is once they were hired, their accuracy and knowledge was so great that we rarely had to QA their reports. The individuals knew when to ask questions instead of guessing, which in this industry is a very dangerous practice.

I will definitely continue to use Meditec and the Jumpstart program as long as they want to work with us and I will indeed hire each and every student that completes the Jumpstart Program!!
