usually they are polysomnography to document sleep onset, REM, limb movements done in a sleep lab most often for people who have apnea problems and need CPAP.

Cardiology/Sleep Study Transcribers
I am looking for other Transcriptionist that have cardiology and sleep study backgrounds. I am a newer MT, I am starting a cardiology and sleep study transcription account next week and have never transcribed for this specialty.
I wanted to know if there are specific word books or websites that you find helpful and are there specific things that you could tell me about the specialty that may help me?
I would appreciate any feedback
Thanks,
Angie
ind. study
I am doing this as a boost for myself before I actually start an MT school later in the year. My current job will run out then and that is when I will devote full time to my school but right now, I want to prep myself as much as I can.
study groups
was just wondering if there are any student study groups that anyone knows of that are accepting midway students
I would study terminology and if you can
get some practice tapes to use that would help. I know there are places on-line where you can test (google for them) to get an idea of where your weaknesses/strengths are. I don't know if your weakness is terminology or grammar or both and since you aren't getting your tests back and no one is telling you what you did wrong you may not know what the problem is.
If there is a test you can do on-line that you could do and send me and I could also hear the dictation I would be glad to give you some feedback.
looking for study buddies!
I am hoping to find some others out there that are studying out of medical transcription:fundamentals and practice. I was hoping to form an email study group, we can all help each other out, help with words and formatting, and the such. If you are interested, just email me, and we can all help each other out. It doesn't matter where in the book you are, figure that if I can get a plethera of people together, than we can all help each other!
Email if interested!

Independent MT study
I am training on my own at home with Medical Transcription Fundamentals By Diane Gilmore but I have no access to the answer keys to check myself. I have contacted the publisher but I think you have to be affiliated with a school to access that content. Does anyone know how I can obtain the answer keys to the book work and the dictation files provided? I am currently at a stand still because I have no idea if my transcriptions are accurate. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
its a study they do while you are sleeping to check
for oxygen saturation, breathing patterns, sleep patterns, and other things
Employment after home study
I was wondering about the same thing. Who would hire you after home study, and who will hire with only one year experience; or no experience outside the home. I have a little hospital experience, but years ago.
What type of education did you get? What did you study?
??
I printed a list of mine and I study over them and
For quick reference.
