Quick quiz: What do a pharmacy technician and a medical transcriptionist have in common? Aside from the fact that the best preparation for both can be had at Meditec.com, the most experienced resource (it bears repeating that it has 40-plus years in the business) for pharmacy-technician and medical-transcriptionist training, nothing really.
But then again, they might just have another thing in common. According to PayScale, the average medical transcriptionist salary is about $40K. Top veterans, with at least 20 years of experience, can draw something like $51K to $70K per year. Those with intermediate experience (about 10-19 years) earn a top salary of about $45K.
On the other hand, a pharmacy technician can expect to earn an average of $45k a year, although long-time pharmacy technicians associated with top medical units can expect as much as $60k.
Both careers pay more than the average annual income of $40K.
Meditec.com offers a catalog of online certificate training programs, including the Pharmacy Technician Certificate Program and the Medical Transcription Certificate Program. The first is an online course for those who want to obtain comprehensive preparation for the pharmacy certification exam. The second is an online course for those who would like to pursue a career as medical transcriptionists.
