OBJECTIVE: Medical Clerk

I am a seasoned medical transcriptionist with years of experience as a

transcriptionist, as well as secretarial positions. Over the past ten years

I have worked in-house and at home. Due to the institution of EHR,

contractors is rapidly diminishing. Your consideration for employment would

be greatly appreciated in this time of economic recession.
