Continuing Education Credits: Approved by National AAMT for 1 CEC Clinical Medicine 

Name of Class: MTs and Me: How and Why I Came to Recognize the Importance of MTs in My Practice. 

Course Description: Mr. Fisher is a gentleman who loves his work. He works 50 to 70 hours a week caring for and empathizing with his patients. When asked how he has the energy to work long hours, he replies, "I receive energy from my patients." He sees his practice as enabling him to further his humanity by bringing his life to his work.

Mr. Fisher views the transcriptionist as the provider of the record that will be passed on so that patients will receive professional help. He understands the crucial link transcriptionists represent in continuity of patient care. He views the medical transcriptionists he works with as invaluable assets in his life, and in his patient care. He appreciates the transcriptionist's contribution to the historic link of record both for himself and for those who read after him.

Mr. Fisher presented for the Louisiana Association for Medical Transcription (LAMT) in 2004 in Baton Rouge, where he held his audience spellbound and set a positive tone for the entire day. LAMT wishes to recommend Mr. Fisher highly. This is one presentation not to miss. 


Presenter: Larry Fisher, RNP

Mr. Fisher is a graduate of Louisiana State University, Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center Nursing School and Loyola University Family Practitioner Program. He has been a Registered Dialysis Nurse, Neurology Nurse Practitioner, and currently a Rehabilitation Nurse Practitioner.

With Emily out there, she might knock out our Texans and Louisiana participants if Lea would get back for this weekend, as scheduled; however, I will try to reschedule Lea in ASAP for this same class.  It may be August
