I know most, if not all, of you know what a medical transcriptionist is. For those that don't know, medical transcriptionists type what doctors dictate and it goes into the patient's medical record. This can be anything from a brief letter to another doctor, a physical, or even brain surgery. Since the health of patients (even their lives) depends on accuracy--and not all doctors may review the reports thoroughly (we are professionals after all)--a solid training program is required. Even then you learn a lot on the job--a LOT!
Make sure you go through an AHDI approved school. Personally, I took the Career Step program and had no problems learning the material or getting a job after graduation. In fact, I had a job within a week and a half of taking the final. Andrews was also at the top of my list, but at that time in my life (and my family's) Career Step was the best choice for me. I enjoyed the program so much that now I'm an affiliate. So, if you click the link above or visit the Career Step page and enter my referrer ID you get $50 discount if/when you enroll! Even if you check it out and decide one of their other courses sounds better for you the discount still applies.
Happy typing!
