I took the Career Step course.  I didn't go full blast into it, but I still finished it in about 8 months if I recall.

A week after graduating I had 2 job offers. I ended up choosing the national company.  I was on full QA at first, as is the norm for a new MT, and the person checking my reports was amazed that I had no prior medical experience and had never worked as an MT. I'm not a rocket scientist, trust me.  I do feel that Career Step gives you great knowledge and prepares you for being an MT. 

That was 4-1/2 years ago, but a friend of mine went through the program just last year and had little trouble getting a job. I highly recommend CS, it's much cheaper and faster than other MT programs, all done from home, and IMO the training is top notch.

Hi,

I have just read some of the responses on becoming a MT. I was wondering if anyone had more detailed information regarding how long it actually takes to get certified, cost and realistic opportunities after graduation. Are most jobs in hospitals, doctor's offices etc. or are most work-from-home? What can a new graduate expect for an annual income? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!!

I have recently submitted a resume online and have medical transcription experience. It has been a few years, but I have been a processor for the government and am a fast and accurate worker. Long story short, I stumbled upon this area, checking out a certain company that is interested in me, and they want me to test. I see they are listed in this area, but I want to see if it is a job, or a school. Can any one speak out and advise me please? I am looking for a good home based position, but want to see what the company is like, as well as the employees.

Please, if anyone is out there, reply to me. I have been unemployed by the government after a huge lay off and am trying to keep my home for myself and my disabled child. I hope my prayer will finally be answered.

Thanks for letting me in.....  

I know it might sound odd to some, but we do pride ourselves on telling the truth (and nothing but the truth) to prospective students, current students, and graduates about the industry, job opportunities, and the profession in general. We are not like some of the matchbox schools who are trying to enroll everyone and anyone off the streets. We have a pre-enrollment test, and we pride ourselves on the difficulty level and quality of our program. We only enroll as many students as we know we can handle. Period. We won't tell you that this course is going to be easy, nor do we tell you that you can do this from home in your jammies with kids on your lap. We take this profession very seriously, and we expect our students and graduates to do the same. Our placement rate is high and, while the biggest percentage of our employers who hire our graduates are looking for full time employee status (what a great opportunity that is by the way), many of them will also still hire part-time. It is easier by far to make this a career choice and prepare for full time position so that you can continue to train your ear and update your skill levels once you graduate. If part-time is the only option for you, we will work with you to that end. Those are the facts.

That having been said, I would be more than happy to talk with anyone who is sincerely interested in our program or medical transcription in general. Please feel free to email at sfrancis@mtecinc.com or call toll free 877-864-3307 and talk with me or any one of our staff at your convenience. :)

Hi!  I was wondering if anyone has any information on Transcription Relief Services out of Greensboro, NC.   Not sure about them.

Does anyone have any infomation on a company called Another Medical Must?

Thanks

Does anyone know anything about this company, DocMed Medical Transcription

Thanks. 

At www.mtchat.com there is a forum faq called "Interested in MT?" which has some great info.  Also, check out MTEC's website; under prospective students are some good links--the "Is MT right for me?" also has links to AHDI's website, as well as the Bureau of Labor's information on the field of MT. You can also search this website...

I have to say, this isn't an "I'm in it for the money" field; you have to like this work to do it and be happy.

Does anyone know anything about this transcription system or know where I can find the company on the web?  Thank you in advance for any help.

God Bless.
