No more necessity for the carbon copies or messy notes that accompanied most reports in the past. Paper is clearly being replaced by records that are transcribed by computer-assisted technology. Therefore, medical transcription departments rely as much on the Information Technology departments as the doctor who has assigned their project. The communication between doctor, MT and sometimes the IT departments is essential.

Medical transcription has become very popular with people who want to stay at home and develop their own business. Many medical transcriptionists don’t always have to report to the medical offices or hospitals with which they are working. Their transcriptions are often e-mailed or uploaded to an FTP site, where the MT has limited access to patient’s records.

Pharmacy technician certificates can usually be completed in less than a year. They provide the basic, fundamental skills necessary to perform the job functions of a pharmacy technician in a retail or clinical environment, and help prepare graduates to take any certification exams for pharmacy technicians. No prior education is usually required to enter a certificate program, outside of a high school diploma.

Pharmacy technician diploma programs last around a year, and are designed to add supplementary, skill-based education to the background knowledge provided by a previous degree. Many students with associate degrees in medical assisting or a related field pursue pharmacy technician diplomas to move into the pharmaceutical industry, though a medical background is not necessarily required. Diploma programs also prepare graduates to take certification exams.

Here you can find out about common pharmacy technician job responsibilities, see average salaries in your state or nationwide, or learn how certification can help you advance. For example, did you know there are two certifying bodies for pharmacy technicians, but not every state requires certification from them? Or that California is the highest paying state for pharmacy techs, while West Virginia pays the least?
