Guest guest Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 Can anyone help me in deciding where I should get my medical transcriptionist training? I have been looking into M-Tec, but I am nervous about spending the money. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 I finished the MTEC course two years ago. It was well worth the money. You not only learn the terminology but the rules of transcribing, anatomy, diseases, etc. And the instructors are very supportive and easy to reach via e-mail or phone. There is also a student board on which to post questions, problems, etc. I am working for MQ, who only agreed to let me test for them after I said I had finished the MTEC course. HTH!

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 Almost two years, but I had some extensions because of extenuating circumstances. You can do it a lot sooner than that.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 For me, it was approximately 900 real-time hours (about 1 year in my case). ....not counting the time I spent here and learning!

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 M-TEC is one of the very best MT courses around. They are well worth the money. I've known people who were still in the middle of the course who were asked to call for a job as soon as they graduate...just because they were taking the M-TEC course. I also know of people who passed the AAMT tests within a couple of months of graduating from M-TEC. Both of those situations are remarkable for brand new MTs. There are other great courses out there, the first that comes to mind is Career Step. I'm not sure of their fee, but I do know they turn out good entry level MTs. Until next time....

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 Wow, I'm impressed! It has taken me 20+ months. Life has gotten in the way on more than one occasion, on top of being grammatically challenged! lol Pamela M-TEC Session 18 - 1.5 tapes to go!!
