There is a website called www.healthgrades.com that gives the info. You do have to pay for the report though.

M.D. credentials

B and E and have never had a recruiter ask for CMT credentials ever! nm

...and besides, who needs their stupid credentials?
All I did was line AAMT's coffers. I no longer belong to AAMT nor do I keep up my CMT credential. Has not hurt one bit professionally. Please point out something positive that AAMT has accomplished for our profession. All CMT does is provide AAMT with more money for their dog and pony show. AAMT? No thanks! We need someone who REALLY represents the day-to-day MT, not a select few.
CMT credentials and AAMT
The post below about AAMT certifying offshore MTs made me wonder. Do you think an offshore CMT is just as good as an American CMT? I ask because I am quite certain most doctors would think so. I remember hearing once about an Indian MT that took the test over 6 times before passing. They just kept giving him money to take it until he passed. Doctors may not know or care what CMT means as far as we are concerned, but if an Indian company telemarkets your doctor with a too-good-to-be-true offer, and oh by the way, did we mention we were certified by the AMERICAN Medical Transcription Association? All of a sudden your doctor and my doctor and all doctors will care what CMT means, and to them it will mean, same quality - but cheap.
So, the CMT definitely benefits someone, though if the transcription service doesn't live up to the doctor's normal quality standards, what does that tell him about the CMT or the AAMT in general?
Am I ranting or rambling? You decide. :)
doctor credentials
I just got new health insurance and am searching for a new doctor. Does anyone know of a web site where I can check credentials of doctors?
What do the credentials FAAMT stand for? TIA

Why would you want to spend $298 on credentials that don't matter anyway?
For a penny more a line?
Either way you were wasting your money. The thing is, you probably failed by one point on something totally irrelevant question having to do with one of the ever-changing BOS rules.
In my opinion, experience wins over passing some lame certification exam concocted by an organization of fat cats looking for more ways to line their pockets with our money.
Don't be too disappointed that you failed. Be disappointed that you bought into the AAMT hype.

Those credentials for teachers in public school are NOT the norm...
At my daughter's school when she was in 3rd grade she showed me her final spelling test. The list contained the words: You, me, and two, among other similar ones. My daughter was in the gifted program, and those were her final spelling words in preparation for 4th grade!! We do NOT have public school teachers with PhD degrees in anything. They're lucky they have a Bachelor's. I have a Bachelor's and consider myself quite capable of teaching. Believe me - all schools are NOT created equal.
lie detector tests too huh busy. just to see if everyone tells the truth about credentials and goal
I think they should check your medical and psychiatriac records too and see what type of medications you may be prescribed. Maybe they could interview your neighbors and family to see if you have a history or lying or fabricating, delusions of grandeur, bipolar or just plain character flaws. I have noted that on these boards sometimes people tend to fabricate. hahaha. bwaaaaaaahaaaaaaa
Check it all out before you can get a job working at home. I mean the pay is worth it to go through all the hoops and if you are exposed as a deviant too bad. No sense it taking ridiculous risks for .8 cents per line doiing medical transcription when you can ship it to India for way cheaper to all those good souls who don't have any vices.
