and it was really good training. I know the contact person if you would like me to give it to you. Or you can go to Meditec.com and it is on that site I believe. Let me know!

What about Meditec?
What about a school, Meditec? Have you head of them? I am suppossed to attend sson! Any advice and/or comments? Their website is www.meditec.com
Thanks!
Meditec
Has anyone recently used Meditec for medical transcription and/or billing/coding? I'd like to know if they're good, bad or otherwise, please. Thanks!
Meditec does, but there is a fee.
There is also an AIM program, but I don't know anything about that one.
ANYTHING ABOUT MEDITEC OR A MENTOR!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!
me too. I have been looking for someone to mentor me. I am 39 years old and started late in life but I have put my entire heart into this trying to make it work. This is something that I have been wanting to do for years and have finally succeeded. I am having a hard time trying to get started though. Does anyone know anything about Meditec. They offered me an internship program. There will be no pay until I reach 98% accuracy and then they will start paying me.
That does not sound like Meditec
At least, certainly not the program as I recall it. And, no, the internship was not "a part of" my training requirements. It was something extra that I wanted and chose to do. I merely consider it a part of my overall training because of the added value of it. Yes, I already had my certificate and probably did not need to do that, but I wanted to and don't regret it. The Jumpstart completion requirements were basically to be able to proove yourself capable of producing quality, clean, error-free reports according to account specs. There were no special numbers or quotas involved. Each report completed was checked by QA who gave me very timely feeback. I do not recall any line requirement for that, especially 200 lph to start. Corie at Meditec is really the best person to talk to about this program and current requirements. I am sure she will answer and/or clarify any questions or concerns you have. It worked out well for me, although Jumpstart was totally separate from training and was something extra I wanted and personally chose to do for the experience. I am still glad I did.
I wish you all the best of luck.
Has anyone worked for Meditec?
If so, can you make any decent money with them? Do they have good accounts, support and platforms? I'm thinking about applying. I'm so tired of working long hours for less than minimum wage.
Scratch CAI and Meditec off of the list. sm
You need to go with proven schools. If you short yourself, you will eventually end up forking out more money to get the right education.
Meditec JumpStart Program
I took the Meditec course and followed with their internship program. I still work with them even though I have finished the JumpStart program. They are very supportive, there is a good variety of clients and software to be able to be exposed to, I am glad to be getting this "first" job experience with such a supportive group.
Meditec's Jumpstart Program
Does anyone know if this mentoring program is good and worth tryiing? Do they have enough work for people they accept?
I took the Meditec intern program
I know that virtually everyone will say you should never have to pay to work. But, I took Meditec's training and intern program because I wanted to get real world experience before the real world job and I wanted a better chance to slide into a job at the end of that internship, which I did. I am sure it is not for everyone, but it worked out well for me.
I did the Meditec Jumpstart program
I have no experience with US Career Institute, so cannot say anything about them.
I did do Meditec's Jumpstart program. You will be doing real reports in real time (mostly VR) and you will receive feedback on each and everyone one. They can be quite critical and harsh. Overall, it was beneficial to me. Meditec will tell you the Jumpstart program helps you gain working experience, and it does. But what I found out after completing it was that the companies I applied to did not count any internship program as experience, thus basically forcing me to work for Meditec after I finihsed it for an extroadinarily low rate. But then again, I did intern myself straight into a job, which I thought was much better than not working at all. That said, I still got very good experience (just not good pay). I got most of my initial two years experience while working for them.
I understand your plan, it sounds similar to what I planned as I went into training, only I also trained through Meditec. Your plan can work. The biggest thing I can advise you to do in addition to your studies and internship is to study the BOS rules and document set up. If you don't, both will come back to haunt you in the way of not finding a good job when you are ready. I hope this helps. If there is anything else I can tell you, please email me. Good luck to you and God Bless.
Career step and Meditec-sister courses-sm
I understand these are two in the same course ran by sisters. One charges much more than the other. What makes Career Step any better than Meditec if the Meditec course is basically what Career Step is using to begin with, and the Meditec lady wrote the course?
Meditec supposed to be good but has a waiting list. The SOAP program

Internship
I felt compelled to reply on this subject. I am not an MT, but I am studying to become one. I have to agree that if a "newbie" asks for assistance (i.e. an internship), they need to take it seriously and reply to your offer with a level of professionalism. I also agree that not all newcomers to this field are entering it because of the expected financial gain or the notion that it is an easy job for a stay at home mother/father. It is my hope that I can find an experienced MT to offer their help so I can gain the needed experience.
try an internship...sm
there's always a few posted on the job board. I know lots of newbies who broke into the field that way and they were glad to have the additional training during the internship.
internship
Hey this is for us newbies. I will be a soon be graduating from my local community college, and I replied to an internship post that was on the job seekers board. I got an email on it and you do not get paid until you reach a 98% accuracy rate, and it cost you $400.00 for the internship. Doesn't seem fair, to have to pay someone to work for them. http://www.meditec.com/
I did their internship
Did not have to pay anything and I am still working for them on paid status. They are legit and they work with you to make you a better MT. They are legit.
The internship took me
six months to complete, but I was also working at another job during that entire time and was only able to intern part time. Had I been able to spend more time, it wouldn't have taken as long.
internship
I have posted questions about internships before. Just thought I would try again. I am interested in finding an internship with or without pay. If anyone has any advice or leads please email me. Thank you!
Internship
I emailed you about a week ago in response to the post regarding the internship experience. Since I didn't hear a response in return, I am wondering if you got my email. I am currently completing my MT training through Allied (I know, NOT the best school, but it's too late to switch now!) If you will, please email me and let me know if you are interested in setting up for an interview OR if the position has already been filled. Thank you so much and you may email me at ***** I look forward to hearing from you! Just a note-I also hold a Master's Degree in Special Education (although not related to MT work but I thought it would give you some insight as to past work experience)

internship
I'm in my last semester and my teacher has virtual dictation available for our internship, but I'm looking for more realistic I guess. Does anyone know a company I can do my internship with and possibly continue working after I graduate?
internship
Try your local doc offices. Some will let you intern there and possibly hire you thereafter.
internship (sm)
Fastphalanges has a free paid internship program for new graduates and will hire permanent when your accuracy reaches 98%.
Try an internship program
Cort Medical and Accustat Carolinas both have a mentoring progam, I also graduated from PCDI and could not find work, I had to work for free in an intership program for 8 weeks to get a job in the end, this might sound hopeless but I know how frustrating it is to look for work, I now have been working steady for accustat and love them if you need more information email me at flgeitner@comcast.net if you wish and may be I can help..
Internship program
Has anyone completed the internship program offered by Allstate Transcription? Did you receive a job offer? Is it worth the money?
I did a internship program...sm
I entered an internship program. I was in it for 6 months. I ended up finding a job and told them I was leaving the intern. While in the intern I was still never guaranteed a job. I did it because it was a legit MT company and I needed the actual work exp to get a job. The startout pay with this company if they hired was 6 cpl though. I ended up getting a job for .065 cpl somewhere though. I have since went up from that rate. I think 7 cpl is good pay for a newbie. I know it is rare a newbie is offered that much. But I am not familiar with the internship on here. So I can't advise you or not.
I don't mean to burst your bubble but when you start an intern or do get a job you will find that you weren't as ready as you thought you were. There is a lot as a newbie I did not know that I learned with hands on exp. An internship was kind of like a transition from school to work. I would advise you to find out the name of this place that offers this internship and do some investigating and research on it.
Good luck to you in whatever your decision is.
AIM internship program
This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for! A chance to actually work without the stress of that first job. But is it reputable? Can anyone recommend it, and will it help significantly to find a job? thank you!
Internship or possible employment
I have completed a transcription course recently with a school that did not offer internship. I have tested with VARIOUS companies even though I do not have the required experience. I was a CPC certified coder but let my certification lapse because employers informed me without experience, I would be too great of a risk to their company. I know I can perform the duties of a Transcriptionist but have not been given the opportunity to prove myself. If ANYONE could PLEASE PLEASE help me with this delima, I would be ever greatful.
Internship Info
My training course did not offer/require an internship and now I am interested in an internship to get some real experience. Do you have any information about your company's internships?
Internship info
Jen, I would love some information about your internship program. Could you email it to me? Kelley
Internship Information
Hi Jen, I am at Everett doing the transcription program, and although there is no internship required I would really love to do on. Could I possibly get the info. as well?
Internship information
could I please get info on the internship program?
Thanks
Shanti
Internship Info
I would like to get the information about internships too. Thanks.
mentoring/internship
Well: I certainly would reply to you. I am a recent grad of a 1-yr, 900-hr, CMT- taught course in need of an internship or a job and beginning to despair of finding anyone who will give me a chance. I have an A average, medical background, and a college degree and the school cannot even find 1 business to take me for my "guaranteed" 80-hour externship. I have begun posting my own resumes and applying, so far with no replies. I am scheduled to take the RMT on April 15; perhaps that will help. I have not been looking too long, so I haven't given up hope yet. The woman that didn't answer you is a fool.
Internship Program at this site
Below is a link to an Internship program for MT's
I do not post on job forums because this is not a job, it is an internship. sm
It appears that you have been misled by someone, perhaps another by program such as mine. If that happened to me, I would be skeptical as well.
I have accepted a few interns from this forum by solicitation in the past and will do so again, I'm certain.
Remember, it takes one who truly wants to succeed to proceed.

Saw a job on the Job Seeker's Board that was an internship, no experience needed
it's farther down towards the bottom
Education and Internship at a Medical Transcription Company
I live in Austin, TX. A local medical transcription company has their own in-house training and internship. They started their own training because they couldn't find qualified people for their workload. The cost of the education and internship is $2,000. They then hire you as a contractor, if you get a 'B' in the class. Although they cannot guarantee work, they say they are very busy handling work from 5 area hospitals. Someone my sister knows works for them full-time and is happy.
I've also looked at the job requirements for the company Medquist. One suggestion they have is learning at a school based in Utah, Career Step. The education is online and through cassettes and books, not at the school itself. Their education costs around $1,500. Although you're not guaranteed a job at Medquist, you most likely will be considered because you trained at CareerStep.
I'd like your opinion about this. It seems you need to take a training or education course to learn medical transcription and at least 1 year of experience to get a job. I didn't see any problem with paying for training. Do you?
Thanks, amelia
You have to PAY EXTRA for the internship and they don't teach you enough to get hired. (see messa
Much better to go to Andrews School or M-TEC, the top two schools in the country. Almost guaranteed to be able to get a job afterwards, and most companies will waive the 2-years' experience requirement if you are an Andrews or M-Tec grad.
Is your internship paid? Can you stay with it and get experienced and apply for an at-home job
