next time, check the word board, and the critical MT's
will not lecture you. The MT's on the word board are fabulous.
I really can't think of what the medication you are sounding out is. Sorry.
Good luck!
Please make sure to ask word questions on the Word Help board. There are
people who specifically answer questions there.
Check the "company" board
or do a search.
Check out the Job Seeker's board here.
I saw a couple of ads that mentioned newbies could apply.
Check the classified on this board -
Someone may have a used one for sale. No, the wav pedal will play on a program such as realplayer
Check job seeker's board
There was a post last week for psychiatry account.
Check the company board -sm
I've seen talk on there of several companies that hire new grads.
I actually got hired at MQ right out of school - but it was a much different company then. I worked there for 3-1/2 years and bailed when the first signs of sinking occured. 
I honestly only have experience with them and the company I'm currently at - and I don't think my current one hires new grads. Check out the company board though and I'm sure you'll find a company that will make you much happier than MQ could.
Check the company board. These same
questions have been asked multiple times the past couple of weeks. I didn't see anything good about them.
You can check the classified board here. I buy
mine direct from Stedman's. You can check Amazon too.
Check the company board for info on them.

Ask on the word board.
This isn't the word board and it isn't a very
active board. Ask your question on the word board if you can't find your answer by googling.
Please drop the q. daily to daily. Thanks
Please use the Word board for this in the future.
Thanks.
Just ask your question on the Word Help board and if someone can, they'll help you. nm

Try the Word Help board...but, maybe Solu-Medrol? (nm)

Post these types of questions on the Word Board. Thanks. nm

Don't worry anon, this is the same person on the Word Board asking test questions!!
The AAMT and the "Top Three" just feed each other - so-called approval by AAMT means nothing
a lot of community college programs are far better than the "top three." Just make sure you get plenty of actual dictation. If you don't have good grammar skills and aren't a literary-type person this may not be the field for you. I can't tell you the unbelievable applications I get for MT jobs - misspelled words, sloppy grammar, and how about those st*pid email addresses THEHOT1@aol.com, etc. Sheesh. If you're one of THOSE, then be prepared to look for a l o n g time to get your first job LOL
If you'll check the company board you'll find
they have been talked about several times recently. They are an Indian company and no one has had anything good to say about them.
Same here, daily or every day. nm

Daily workloads
What is the average number of reports that are generated in a day? Please let me know if you work part time or full time and how long each report may take to type and proof? Thanks for your input-
Should be changed to daily. SM
The reason that item is probably in the test is to see if you have any knowledge of the JCAHO standards. The "q.d." abbreviation is specifically prohibited.
daily line quota
If the going cpl seems to be .06
I read that 2500 lines a week is expected for full time.
1500 lines a week for part time.
$.06 x 2500 lines a week = $150.00 This seems like very low pay.
It seems like low pay even if you multiply by $.08 cpl.
Did I calculated it right?
What is the daily line quota for a new grad?
After 1 yr experience?
3 yr experience?
5 yr experience?

Look online and apply daily! sm...
Looking for MT job postings online is probably the quickest way to find out who is hiring. Most local newspapers are also now online. Don't forget about networking with your graduate peers!
I think timing plays a huge role in getting that first MT job. Find out who is hiring and apply on a daily basis! Job hunting is a full-time job that pays off in a huge way!

If you currently type in word, then do a word count
then I really can be of no help. Usually when trying to get an idea of a line count with spaces and without spaces, you can use this method. Some people have actual line counting software. I, however, do not, so I am not much help in that regard. Hope this helps at least a little.
The AAMT.

and since WHEN is AAMT the BE ALL of anything?
AAMT BOS
If someone tells you to use the AAMT BOS for a test do they mean just as far as grammar and spelling, etc., or do they mean there is a certain template and setup for the test?
AAMT BOS
Are you following the AAMT Book of Style? I failed the first time I took it also and it was because I did not use this book. I purchased the book and passed!
AAMT BOS
I just did my externship at a site that would not let me use the AAMT BOS third edition. They explained that it has to be reviewed by their review board. They explained that those books are made to make them money. They do, however, standby the AAMT BOS second edition.
I was so excited to have the newest version, too! Oh well, I know there will be a day down the road where I'll be thankful in having it!
M-TEC is AAMT approved
M-TEC would get my vote, because they are the only school that has been approved by the American Association for Medical Transcription.
Have you contacted the AAMT yet? sm
Have you contacted the AAMT yet? They have a message board on their website, and I believe they have a totally volunteer mentoring program.
A lot of new MTs who ask for mentors in public forums run into people who want to be paid, or who want you to work for free, or goodness only knows what.
It is not necessary or desirable to pay a mentor.
If you go through the AAMT program, or at least ask on their boards, you'll be more likely to find an experienced, reputable MT who can mentor you without charge or obligation.
Good luck to you!

Can you get a CMT from school or just through AAMT?
I had a gal tell me that other day she was going to finish school to get her certification. She plans to use the CMT title when applying for jobs. I always thought you had to take the exam through AAMT. She is just going to a community college taking a med. transcription course. Am I wrong or is she?
AAMT-approved
My school was AAMT-approved. But so far even the local companies in my area won't hire without experience. I live right outside of Nashville and have several companies including eTransPlus, Transhealth, and Spheris close by. Medquist recently moved. TransHealth was at least nice enough to reply back to my application. The others haven't done anything. Thanks for your responses.
Yea right... Just like the AAMT tried to pretend
they weren't involved in offshoring until they had no choice.....
When in doubt go my AAMT BOS, etc.
dangerous abbreviations. They are looking more at if you can spell, have good grammar, and know the terminology. Most companies use AAMT BOS, but there are always exceptions, so style really isn't an issue, unless instructed otherwise.
I've never had to do a retest so I'm not sure if companies change their tests periodically. I have found that testing can vary greatly, from something an 8th grader could do, to something that I with 20 years of experience thought was difficult (though they tend to have varying levels of testing depending on experience).
If you are wondering if you didn't test well the first time would it be beneficial for you to bone up on items you may have missed in hopes of getting them right a second time, I don't feel that is beneficial to you. You might be able to pass the test, but you don't really know the information, and that will be evident in a short period of time.
CS is AAMT Approved
:)
AAMT BOS 2 and 3 difference?
I have the AAMT BOS second edition. Of course, now there is a third. I am starting to notice a few things different (such as numbers). I want to know if I really need to buy the newest book or if there is a place I can download anything that might differ between the second edition and the third? Thank you for any suggestions.
Just wondering why you are bothering with AAMT
They have no power to force a school to change its policies. They're just there to soak hardworking American MTs for huge membership fees so they can turn around and spend that money to support sending all our jobs to India and the Philippines.
In any event, M-Tec does have a tiered program for people with medical background. You might have better luck contacting the schools directly.
There are only two approved/certified by the AAMT.
.
and there are 2 AAMT rejected for approval and won't
how is a potential student supposed to know to stay away from the 2 not approved?
AAMT has some gall.
Because no one cares about the AAMT. Except India.

CS Has to have instructors or AAMT could not approve them
It's part of the approval process. It's a requirement. They have to have instructors who are qualified.
