Step By Step Become A Medical Transcriptionist

Submitted by: Brain Storm

If you want to join transcription field. First question arises that this field need some special study back ground? In view of experienced transcriptionst, You don t need the subjects biology, nursing or pharmacy in your school or college. If you have it that s good, but there is no such requirement. When you search for training institute keep some points in your mind that medical transcription company that is into live production near to you, find if it is offering training and guarantees absorption on completion of the course. Once you confirm these and satisfied after having a chat with the existing medical transcriptionists working there about the work atmosphere and prompt, regular payouts, proceed with confidence. Because once you switched into field then with the passage of time your experience will built you as increase in capability of searching, typing speed and computer knowledge.

As we know that in every field specialist found respect similarly, clients are expected from MT to have good grammar and punctuation, and to be proficient with keyboarding and word processing. They must be familiar with medical terminology so that they may accurately interpret medical terms and a

eviations. The Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity (AHDI) is working on project to provide such quality MT to market and for this the introduced a certified study program (CMT). The purpose of the exam is to assess the competency of a candidate to become a medical transcriptionist by determining if a candidate has knowledge and skills. The CMT exam consist of following.

1)Multiple-choice questions, 2) Fill-in-the-blank, 3) SRT Editing Against Audio

After switched in to field now, If you want to be have some specialty that will increase your value in market then you must think about medical transcription test, also known as certification exam. These exams are not necessary to get work, but this is your personal choice. The Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity (AHDI) introduced these certification exams, at the moment there are two levels of exam

Registered medical transcriptionist (RMT)

Certified medical transcriptionist (CMT)

If you have less than two years experience of acute-care transcription experience then you are eligible for RMT. While you have at least two years experience of acute-care transcription then you are eligible for CMT. If you pass any of these exams then your certification must be renewed after every three years in this duration also required to earned number of continuing education (CE) credits. The number CE depends upon whether you are RMT or CMT. If you are RMT then after initial three years duration you might be able to take the CMT portion of exam.

But some professionals have different view about CMT. As somebody said all that glitters is not gold so at this movement CMT does seem to have much meaning for personal satisfaction because working in professional environment MTs are not ready for preparing of irrelevant questions, subjective grammar, tricky questions, not having feedback on what was missed. I absolutely think it is ridiculous not to allow the use of reference material. While in professional environment MTs work on multiple accounts gradually increase there knowledge according to their work requirement and learn techniques by the passage of time to use dictionaries, related software and internet for finding the relative words and terminologies. Since field experience is better than any study project for Medical Transcriptionist.
