Any advice, starting a class in medical transcription? |
I took Medical Terminology ten years ago and just signed up for the Medical Transcription course. I still have the book but not sure how much my mind has retained! PLEASE make sure that the course you signed up for is worth the money. Most employers require experience or participation in one of the top AAMT approved schools. If your looking into Medical Transcription pay the extra in tuition to attend an 'approved' school. Many people have received training through inadequate programs only to find out that they are unable to find a job. Check out: http://www.mteducationonline.c... It is an affiliate site for Career Step. I attended Career Step and recieved a job (at-home) less than a week after graduating. Career Step is an AAMT (American Association for Medical Transcription) approved program and they are partnered with many of the major MT employers. In other words, their graduates get the jobs. Many companies require 2-3 years experience, however, a lot of these companies will waive this requirement if you graduate from the right school. Attending your local community college will give you a good chance at a job in-house, but if you are wanting to work from home, an online 'approved' course is the way to go. They do offer financial aid and payment plans. :) Once you have done your research on the course, I would recommend starting a word list. Add ANY unfamiliar term to your word list. I wish I would have started mine sooner, but it has been an extremely useful resource. Also, keep an organized list of any online resources you come across. They will come in handy during your testing process and while working. Good luck!! Source(s): www.aamt.org http://mteducationonline.com |
