I provide contract medical transcription services to medical offices and clinics. I have nearly 7+ years of experience in medical transcription with a focus on speed and accuracy. I am able to assess medical reports and spot any inaccuracies and inconsistencies. I have the ability to think critically when doing research to find the information that they need and to ensure that sources are both accurate and reliable.I work with short deadlines and have a keen listening skill even with different vocal accents and pronunciations.
