Well I too have been selected for the beta test-sm

I am absolutely thrilled about this test and once I have 2 years acute care experience I will write the CMT as well.  To me it is very well worth the $95 US to write the test, even the beta test.  This is something that I would like to achieve. 


No, it is not for everyone.  No, not everyone wants to spend $$ to take a test. We all have different ideas of what is right for us.  For me I want to have those letters behind my name.  In a couple of years I would like to trade them in for the CMT.


I know that there are many here who dislike AAMT and are stongly opposed to many of the things that they are doing but I have got to tell you I have gained so much by being a member of AAMT and especially the Online Chapter of AAMT. 


If you don't like the fact that there is offshoring going on well that is too bad...it is here and it is probably here to stay.  What we can do is offer credentially, such as the RMT, for those in other countries as well so that the can be required to meet a certain level of education and training.  I know I gonna get yelled at here for this one, but this is my opinion.


 


Beta test? Can you elaborate on this a little bit more?

I think it's nuts that it's still in beta test but we still would have to PAY to take it. sm
If I'm helping YOU develop your product, I should not be paying! When game developers need people to beta test their games....the game company PAYS THE TESTER!  AAMT is absolutely out of their minds.
Doesn't work that way with me. I just did a test from my other email addy to the other one, decl

I took that psych test, stupid. I got an email stating basically I didnt meet their needs or somethi

I just went there and registered
just need to "sign up"
Where you are registered is
in the shower invitation. The actual wedding invitation should only include information regarding when, where, etc. It is considered poor etiquette to include any type of registry information or gift request in the actual invite.
registered the name where?
Doesn't sound great to me, there's a connection between atypical "not according to type" and typing, but it's kind of muddy. But it may catch the attention of some. However you haven't registered the name atypicaltyping.com, which would be my first step if I were in your shoes.
Registered Nurse or registered nurse
I think I am just tired.  The patient is a Registered Nurse.  Should that be capitalized?
There is something new - Registered MTs - but I don't know details

Awesome! Thanks so much!! I registered my 3 cats...

and will register a memorial for my dog who passed away 2 years ago. 


Just for the heck of it, here's the link to "my kids"


Again, many thanks


Registered/Certified does not get you any more money
in the real world.

I registered on the Do Not Call list a few
years ago, which expires in 2008 (did not know it could expire). What does listing our number as private do? As in, will it keep telemarketers from calling?
registered medical transcriptionist - for those

RMT is Registered Medical Transcriptionist, ...

and CMT is certified.  The RMT is available to new MTs without the 2 years experience required to sit for the CMT.  Both are money makers for AAMT and don't do much, if anything, in the real world of MT.  Sure, there are a few companies that offer a fraction of a cent more per line for the CMT designation, but most MTSOs, as well as the majority of healthcare facilities (from large hospitals to smaller clinics and offices) have never even heard of the AAMT.


Now, before anyone slams me for knocking the AAMT, I am not.  I am involved in a research project for a large project and have investigated the ups and downs and ins and outs of MT companies, schools, job prospects and much more.  The AAMT just doesn't carry the weight they might like people to believe.


And remember . . . The "American" in AAMT is gone.  That says a lot.


 


RMT=Registered Medical Transcriptionist
A fairly new credential for MTs who are not eligible for the CMT (Certified Medical Transcriptionist) credential yet.  You have to have 2 years of experience before you can take the CMT test.  With the RMT, you do not.
Doesn't that mean that it's not a registered version so you won't be able to use their tech
s
The RMT is just in beta now
and is meaningless, in any case. Very few employers care whether MTs have a CMT or RMT or whatever. Even fewer even know what a CMT is, and it's a sure thing no one's heard of RMT. The whole certification thing is simply a power grab by AAMT. Their goal is to sponsor legislation in every state that will force every MT to be certified to be employed. Since the AAMT is the only organization offering "certification", guess who will benefit from the whopping fees they will charge to take the test?
re: beta
Could someone who is computer literate please explain this "beta" stuff to me and what it means? Thanks !
It's a test in progress to measure what MTs know and what type of test to give for the SM
different levels of MTs.  It's over $90.  That's a lot of money to pay to someone who is giving these tests for research as to what type of testing should be done for the different levels of MT.  The AAMT will probably take the results and make a test that they can give in India or the Phillipines or some other foreign country. 
tuning fork test: Is it about a hearing test? .See inside
A whisper is about 20 dB
Loud music (some concerts) is around 80 to 120 dB
A jet engine is about 140 to 180 dB

Hope I could help
what is this beta-thing...

RMT Beta Exam
How many of you are taking the beta exam for the RMT credential? Are you planning to take the final version after beta testing, or will you not take it at all? I'm curious. I received email notice that they have openings until June 1st. Should I bother? I know that many companies ask whether or not we are certified, but do you think it will come to their asking if we are an RMT also? Any and all opinions welcome. Thanks!

I work as a beta tester and they pay me to do it.

I don't believe anyone would pay the 90-somethng bucks to do a beta SM

test which is practically useless. 


I tested the beta version
I enjoy using the software. I work in InScribe over half the day and have tons of shortcuts in there. Until now, I could not use those shortcuts in other programs. I imported the InScribe shortcut file to Ditto and now I use those shortcuts in WordPerfect and Word. The shortcuts work in e-mail, also. The pop-ups are not annoying - they go away after a few seconds if you do not respond to them. You can do functions with it, also. I have not tried whole blocks of text. For me, it's worth the price. I think you can download and try it before purchase.
Not a medical typing test but this website can test you..

It's called www.typingtest.com


Atleast it will give you an idea.. Sadly, I had to take it twice before I passed it LOL


Why would they do a microalbumin test when she has the period? A lot of test s will come out wrong

Neer's test is a shoulder impingement test

Don't think that has to do with the knee.  How about "bucket handle tear" of the knee?  Never heard of Neer having anything to do with the knee. 


Beta testers needed for MPLite

The beta testing for MPLite has been going well.  Phase 3 of the beta testing will begin on Wed or Thurs of this week.


We are soliciting 2 or 3 additional volunteers for this final phase of beta testing, and anticipate this phase to last no longer than a week.  Volunteers should be experienced working transcriptionists, but not so busy that they don't have time to read the help file, and set things up in MPLite.  We need the testers to actually work in the program, and not just look at it.


Testers will receive MPLite free of charge, and all subsequent releases of MPLite free of charge.  If you have the interest and the time to assist us, please send an email to support@mpword.com


Most likely, MPLite will be a the most popular program we have ever produced.  For a preview of it, see our website:

Best wishes,


Vann Joe


Beta is usually a program that is in the development stage
where lots of people use the program to test it out to help make it better and fix all the bugs before the final release.
U love beta fish? Aren't those the ones that kill

I remember my exhusband always had Japanese beta fish when we were married.  As I recall, if my memory serves me well, these specific male fish impregnate the female fish and then when she has the babies, the beta (male) squeezes all life out of the mom and kills her after she has the babies.  Just the idea of this made me hate this type of fish 4ever. 


Just one person's opinion though!  No flaming please! *LOL*


Henry's such a cute name, and I love beta fish
:)
Beta-blocker the patient is a candidate for the (SOUND LIKE) cavatidall???

KVMs $20-60. One internet connection. You'd have no email or a 2nd email acct for your 2nd puter.

I don't understand. I didn't get email from MT Stars, I got email from offshore people
is what I'm talking about. I'm not a liar and take offense to your insinuation.
They can send an email that goes to all MTs in one shot. I think she just means a courtesy email
would be nice. MQ is not getting any easier. My account has been picked over thoroughly when it went on DQS by ASR and I get all the remains because they only have a core group doing ASR which I think is wrong because you get all the bad dictators and it would be nice to be acknowledged that at least you know the person you can discuss problems with as they crop up. This is a big one and we have no manager anymore and no one to discuss this with at all in my office so you just sit here very day doing this work and no way to vent to someone that could offer some suggestions on this and other issues that come up to help relieve some of the stress of working this way.
Just send an email to the email link inside the post.

Again, because you entered your email address, you CAN receive email from anyone, but THEY

e-mail address because it is not revealed when they send mail because we have spam protection in place.  The only way they would know what your email address is, is if you reply to the email they send you.  If you don't want to receive any email from anyone, simply do not enter your email address in the Email field.

I intended to email it- already email the mods to remove

Not through the MTStars email server. Your email address is NOT
visible to anyone.  The only way your employer would know it is you is 1) if you respond when someone emails you, or 2) they recognize the way you write. 
Yeah a 30 minute test---work for free, he gets enough to test, his work is done - nm
