3. I am a medical transcriptionist who works from home. There are three schools (known as the top 3) that are considered to be the best for medical transcriptionist (MT) training. They are as follows: 1) M-Tec 2) Andrews School 3) CareerStep CareerStep is the most affordable one. M-Tec probably has the most comprehensive program; the Andrews School has a good program too. Also, CareerStep training can be taken online via Everett Community College, in Everett, Washington. If you qualify for Financial Aid, you can use it for CareerStep training at this school. Certified Medical Transcriptionists (CMTs) teach these classes. A CMT is definitely experienced and has exceled in the medical transcription field. San Juan College, in San Juan, New Mexico has a similar program that uses CareerStep training modules; financial aid is available for this program too. However, CMTs are not teaching the classes. A wealth of information can be obtained on the medical transcription profession via the American Association for Medical Transcription (AAMT), a professional organization that sets the standards for the MT profession. Also, there is an online group for medical transcriptionists, mtstars.com, that has several discussion boards for the MT community. One board is geared toward new MTs/students. There are also other comprehensive MT programs other than the top 3; you would need to do some research. The AAMT has guidelines as to what to look for in a thorough MT program. I hope this helps.
