Work Environment                                                                               


As all GMTS transcriptionists work in an off-site home office setting on their own equipment, it is very important each MT have a suitable work area, safe and neat and free from distractions. Every MT is responsible for the upkeep of their own work tools, and must show a fundamental working knowledge of the computer, including how to install basic software and routine file management. Policies and procedures to ensure confidentiality must be followed.
