VLC Grad Meg Parish

Meet our working MT grads

The VLC has conducted a series of interviews with some of its working graduates to give students and potential students insight into the VLC experience. There's no better way to tell those interested in pursuing a medical transcription career about our school, our courses, our instructors, our students' backgrounds, and what it's like to study online than through interviews with students who have completed their course and gone on to find a job.
