Offshore Medical Transcription Training In Barbados Experiences High Failure Rate

Published October 20, 2009 11:10 AM by Jay Vance

From the Nation News in Barbados:

The majority of Barbadian workers who underwent one year of Government-sponsored training in the medical transcription field, were put on the breadline because they were performing below the required standard of work.

So said Robert Harvey, director of the United States based company TRSi, which trained the workers and set up a local company here.

A year after the company set up business here, 60 of the less than 100 workers have either left the company, or were dismissed.

[Harvey] said TRSi intended to expand its operations in Barbados despite this setback.
