Bio: Andrea Sopko, CHDS, has been in the transcription industry for over 20 years and has worn many hats during this time. Andrea began her MT career after working as a legal secretary and then taking a medical terminology course. With these tools in hand, she landed her first MT job working in a hospital acute care setting.  She worked her way up to the lead transcriptionist position, which involved heading up the department QA, compiling training manuals for the MTs, including an MT training manual on cardiac catheterization, and setting up speakers while coordinating a transcription conference at the hospital where she worked. Her next venture was working for medical transcription services as an MT, a QA specialist, and a transcription mentor.
