Military Spouses and Medical Transcription

Today, I was reading about one of the latest topics in the news; medical transcription and its impact on the lives of military spouses. After having spoken with a few women whose husbands are in the military, I can definitely understand how medical transcription would be an excellent career choice for them. One of the biggest complaints these women had was that they could not use their college degrees very readily because of frequent relocations, which equated to frequent job changes as well. With medical transcription, however, this would not be a problem because they could maintain the same accounts wherever their families might be relocated.

An article on Media-Newswire had this to say: "The departments of Defense and Labor are collaborating with the AHDI and the Medical Transcription Industry Association to promote the medical transcription field as a viable career for military spouses. "

I am glad to see so much cooperation between these organizations. The men and women who serve and protect our country rearrange their lives so that we can live ours with freedom and respect. It is refreshing to see respect for them and their sacrifices through this collaboration
