All About Medical Transcription is taught by Jari Davis who for 32 years has been a CEO of a major medical service company. According to the American Association for Medical Transcription (AAMT), medical transcription is a $15-17 billion industry with a double-digit growth rate. Industry associations typically use 250,000 as the average number of US medical transcriptionists, although the estimates range from 100,000 to 400,000 transcriptionists depending on whether full or part-time workers are counted. About 25% of medical transcriptionists (MTs) are sole proprietors operating home-based businesses. The remainder is about 60/40 working for medical transcription companies and hospitals-clinics-physicians' offices, respectively.
