How do I choose a good medical transcription school?

I am worried about losing my job due to massive lay offs and I want to train into a medical career. I'm considering online training for medical transcription. How do I choose a good school? What do I look for?

1. I think there are a number of good medical transcription courses online. My daughter took one and has been able to work from home for the past 5 years. I don't know which one she took, though. I rather suspect it was the one she could afford, which translates into the cheapest one.
2. Great question! How about a school that is more interested in QUALITY vs. QUANTITY of transcriptionists?? InScribe University is that type of school... you pass the first module before you continue to the second module.. etc. Here is the link... with LOTS of great information and contact person: http://www.inscribe.us/students/index.html
3. There is an online guide to choosing a medical transcription course of study on the website below. Learn the difference between getting a certificate and being "certified". No affiliation with any school, just good info.
