Neither. You should look into being a rad or U/S tech, or something
else in the medical field. That is, if you want a job over the next 5 years.
Med-Tech
The only two I know of that sometimes hire "newbies" are Med-Tech Resources and ProType. I have worked for Med-Tech for almost 2 years now. Their pay depends on the report types that you do. I do believe they are hiring right now, though.
Med-Tech
I live here in Atlanta and I am about to graduate from school in March. After I finish my externship I was looking at working for Med-Tech resources in Marietta. I an wondering if anyone has any new information about the company that would help. I have seen a few post here about them but they were old. If you have any information about shifts, pay, and staff helpfulness I would appreciate it. Thanks.
Med-Tech Resources
I have worked for this company for almost 2 years. No complaints; however, I am IC so really don't know what they would expect from full time.
Med-Tech website is
www.med-tech.net and that is the correct one for Northeast.
M-Tech or Andrews
I am about to apply for MT school and I am not sure which school to go to. I have read that M-Tech and Andrews are the best. Is this correct? If so, which one is the BEST?
Lisa/Tech Skills
Lisa,
Did you attend that in AZ? I almost did that but decided to go another way.
M-Tech vs. Career Step
Need advise/personal experiences to help in choosing between M-tech vs. Career Step. Do you feel that the higher tuition M-tech charges is worth it?? Was it helpful to have a mentor? Your response is greatly appreciated.
You can also do the tech school thing
You can also go to a technical college (if you happen to have the time). Most offer a certificate program (which is not the same as being certified as a CMT), of course. I think it costs a little less this way...at least for me. I went a couple of years ago and both semesters cost me $3500. Most also help you find the first job. I did an internship for a clinic and was hired after I finished the program. I worked in-house for one year and then at home the next. My starting salary was per hour (which I personally don't recommend, but at the time I did not know better). My starting yearly income was $22K gross (I think it was about $10-something per hour). I am now an independent contractor being paid by the line and last year I made $45K. Good luck to you...hope this helped in some way!
M-Tech wannabe...wish I could get the money together right now
I just finished 18 months training at a community college to become an MT and I am not marketable. The provided no books, no equipment, and only 3 months of actual transcription practice. It cost me 4 times as much as the M-Tech program and I walked away with nothing...now I'm back at square one. I've researched online schools and narrowed it down to M-Tech, but after reading the great posts about this school, I'm sold. I am not giving up becoming an MT.
I didn't go to Andrews or M-tech
So no, you do NOT need experience in order to get a job.
Just Ordered M-Tech's program
I just ordered M-Tech's program. What do I expect! I don't know if I am scared or exicited!
As Mr. Tech Support so accurately said...
'this profession is not at all about 'fast typing', it is about 'knowledge.'
It does not matter if you type fast or slow, if you don't know what you should type.
Do you mean Med-Tech Resources out of Georgia or another company? nm

Agree with an outside school, but I went to a business & tech school. Great experience, better

Considering M-Tech-tier 1 or tier 2
Anyone with knowledge on this subject please respond. I have no medical background and do not have a MT job secured. Is tier 1 a must?
