Gift of gab is a gift in deed. Not having it has cost me dearly.
I became an MT because of my interest in medical field, fascination with the work and yes, a lack of social skills. I really did think that my work would speak for me.
I never got my certificate
My pedal never materialized either,but I did get a reimbursement for that. I finished going on two years ago and never got it. Seems to me things are going down hill.
IF you paid by credit card, you can call them and try to get it credited back so you will at least have your money. I would keep calling them...every day if you have to.
If you have a certificate in MT, sm
Be careful stating you have a "certificate" in MT. There is a certification through AAMT (or whatever their new name is) but it is vastly different from a certificate from a school. I'm assuming you mean you received a certificate upon completion of an MT course of some kind, as the CMT requires a certain amount of experience, I believe (and a CMT would not have trouble finding work). If that's the case, have you asked the school about job placement assistance? If they are a reputable school, they should know employers that will hire their graduates and help you find work.
I would advise AGAINST getting your own accounts. Not only is there a lot to learn about running the business side of it, you will be completely on your own and there will not be much communication or hand-holding from the doctors or their staff. Many doctors will not look twice at someone without experience, either. If you go out there marketing for your own accounts, then the doctors are going to expect you to have all the equipment necessary, be well trained, well educated, and able to produce client-ready documents without assistance on their part. They will expect you to be current on any technology they wish to use. That is why they outsource MT - so they don't have to spend time and money training someone or furnishing equipment, etc. If you do work for local doctors and cannot provide all of that, it could do more damage to your reputation than good. Most docs know each other and talk. That word of mouth is crucial and can make or break you. I'm sorry, but my honest opinion is that a newbie cannot possibly provide the superior service most offices desire because they don't know what it is just yet. If it was as easy as just "working hard," everyone would be doing it, after all. There are a lot of services and individuals out there competing for the doctors' work, so you have to be able to provide better quality and service than they do.
Oh, and also, a lot of private practice doctors are far pickier than you might think. They often actually read their reports before signing them (especially when you are new to them), refer to the reports often in their charts, and expect them to be up to par. If they see a lot of typos or errors, they will cut you loose and move on to the next service looking to earn their work. Who do you think sets forth the specifications that many of the companies you have already spoken to or tested with? Probably their clients!
Now, is it possible you might find some doctor out there willing to give it a shot? Yes. But just because doctors in one town haven't heard of the BOS, that doesn't mean others have not. Did your MT course not go over BOS rules? If BOS rules are what you are having trouble with and want to avoid, then I suggest getting a copy of the current BOS, studying it, and learning it so future testing is excellent. If you test well with a company even without experience, they'd be foolish not to at least take a second look. If you lack experience and don't test well, what incentive do they have to hire? There are a LOT of good MTs looking for work right now, so you have to make yourself stand out above the rest.
If you feel your schooling was inadequate, look into supplemental training at one of the online MT schools that have been approved by the AAMT. Those are the schools that prepare their graduates well enough to get work right out of school and for which companies will often waive experience requirements.
I am not getting my certificate for monetary
reasons. Its for me and my professional pride, which means a lot to me. As for the $$ end, I have been interviewing at several companies, and all did pay, on average, 1 cpl more for CMT. That's quite a differential to me! But I'm staying with my regular job, which does not pay a differential. Its just something I want to achieve in my career.
I'm not talking about a certificate that says you

certification v. certificate
CMT= certified medical transcriptionist.
MTs with 2+ years of acute care experience who pass a test given by the American Association for Medical Transcription (AAMT)are CMTs. They also need to prove they have accumulated a certain amount of continuing education credits every three years in order to maintain the certification. HTH.
Where'd you get that certificate? Just curious. NM

Are you talking about a Secure Certificate?
I'm not sure if that is the same thing as an e-signature? Perhaps you mean encryption. I'm not sure why you would need to supply a secure certificate to send files to a client; encryption 128-bit encryption should be find; 256-bit even better.
Amazon has it for $65.

eScription won't work with MSWorks.
There's one on Amazon
that I was considering - begins with an S (lots of help I know) but it lights up (can turn off) so that should help you find it Sinetech?
Anyway the reviews are that it is very quiet and has a great touch - so it may be worth reviewing...
I'm going to order it soon - watch for my review ;)
$52 on amazon.com

There is one of these on Amazon right now for $84 - nm

Amazon
I bought books from them before, not for 1.79, but my medical concise dictionary by Stedman's was $10, that was pretty good to me.
Try Amazon
Amazon.com will let you listen to a portion of each track on a CD. I'm not sure if it's all CDs, but everything I have been interested in allowed this.
Be careful if you get an Amazon.
When they reach sexual maturity at about 3-4 years of age, they can become quite aggressive and attack their owners, often inflicting severe wounds. If you have children, an Amazon is not a good choice. Be mindful that any parrot you get will almost definitely outlive you. Also, please consider adopting from a rescue. There are many wonderful parrots out there in need of homes and it is a growing problem, as people don't realize what they're getting into. Having a parrot is like having a 2-year-old child forever, with all of the problems that come with it.
Question about Amazon
Do they have a search engine like Google? If so, is it better?
Amazon jungle...by myself...
was my first time out of the country. I traveled with a group from the local college but didn't take DH or anyone else I knew. Very empowering to travel independently, loads of fun. We zip-lined, cruised the rivers, found jaguar tracks, saw waterfalls and climbed 200 feet tall trees, danced with the natives...a total blast. The jungle is a lot like Wisconsin, actually...the mosquitos in Wisconsin are just as bad as the Amazon.
Look on Amazon or eBay.

They're available at Amazon.com.

Suggest to go to Amazon.com and buy SM
"When The Name Of The Game Is Saving Keystrokes" by Diana Rolland. You have to have a system. The book teaches you that.
Don't start just making them up randomly or you will go crazy. One thing I use is dividing word in half like nesc for nephrosclerosis, but, as stated, buy book.
Check amazon.com or e-bay.

getting cmt is kind of like getting a certificate for being an excellent top of the line blacksmith.
so what? so you jumped through all the hoops, learned the trade and now it is obsolete. but you got your little CMT to keep you warm and cozy? employers are going to pay what they are going to pay (as little as possible) and that little certificate means nothing to them in the broader scheme of MT world as it goes into the VR and offshore world.
oh but mr. national recruiter, i have a certificate and i should have 12 cpl for my skills and education....... bwaaaaahaaaaa.
Amazon has cheapest shipping (sm)
I tried transcriptiongear -- for what they wanted in shipping, I was able to buy an extra set of Sony headphones from Amazon plus pay for 2-day UPS shipping. Or try your local Radio Shack -- you can search their site online and see if something is in stock locally.
The Amazon one appears to be a current
edition and the CD that comes with it is an outdated spellchecker and not the dictionary on CD-ROM. The Stedman's one is just the CD and they are always more than the book. The have more detailed info on the CD. I have an older version of the book and I think I've used it 2 times in 10 years. When I update my Stedman's now I buy the CD and I might use it more if I had it on CD versus the book, though with their CDs now you can only install it twice. They also have the book, but it is about $50.
Check the classified board here and check half.com. You can most likely find it cheaper at either place.
Got mine on Amazon too. I've really liked it... will have to look around too then. nm

wow. I just got a Stedmans book for 1.79 on Amazon.
Brand new! I never thought to look on there for a book!

I think pre-existing stuff may kick in if you have have no certificate of previous coverage.
