''better English''
Your ignorance is as laughable as your arrogance! ''Better English'' is just the tip of the iceberg as far as what the experienced American MT ''knows''--for starters, probably as much anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology as the so-called ''physicians'' from your wonderful part of the world. You ''have an open mind'' when YOUR jobs are given away to unqualified people by greedy corporations whose only motivation is their own profit.
There are a lot who also do not know basic English skills. Example: (sm)
the difference between their, there, and they're. Affect, effect. Basic skills of sentence structure. Just knowing some medical words does not make you a good MT.
I had one that would start out in English (with the thickest sm
accent you have ever heard, then switch over to spanish in the middle of a sentence. Did I mention I don't speak spanish?
King's english is hogwash. What Dr. do you know that

I'm guessing English is your second language? I would say this is a
disservice to the MT as well as the companies you are going to service. Nothing worse than someone trying to sail the ship who hasn't ever been near the water.
No, but I am an educated English speaker 24/7.

I agree. She cannot understand English
.. no matter how many times you say the same thing. You have to have a phone convo with her because she can't understand emails.
ESLs on VR as opposed to English
at the hospital where I work makes absolutely no difference at all, in fact if not for VR and all the ESLs we have now, would probaby be pulling my hair out trying to figure out what they are trying to say. ESLs on Escription is as good as with the perfect speaking English so again, the system you have, how MTs train and the speaker makes no difference in how VR gets it. You need a good platform and then you can make a good salary on it.
I really don't know what part of the English language they do not get.. I think the word NO
comes to mind. I would not even be working that day when I'd get an IM, can you do a STAT? and I'd tell them no that I was heading out the door, so, your going to do it? and again, NO.. I said I'm heading out the door. This would go on until I finally had to click the IM off. I felt badgered and I am not sure how much was just them not understanding or just being pushy. There is a fine line and I got tired of it so I quit.
I have an A.A. degree in English from a 'real' college that
Sounds like AHDI ('All Hindi-speaking Dufuses International') is just trying to find another way to lure MTs into wasting their money on their ridiculous 'credential'.
And if they did elevate the credential to the equivalent of a degree, then they'd have to also acknowledge that MTs be PAID as 'professionals', as well.
I laugh every time I read something that group generates - it gets more ridiculous every year, doesn't it?

AAMT did not change "good English" and terminology, sm
The changes originated with the American Medical Association, the Chicago Manual of Style, as well as other references from which the AAMT BOS is compiled.
Whaaat? Are you sure this is English? Your sentences are a word salad. What do you mean?....nm

I agree. You still have to know punctuation, proper English, tenses, sentence structure, etc. Show

I wouldn't transcribe English speaking dictators for 6 cents per line. She is CRAZY.
