Medical Trans. Staffing School- here is one Summer

OK!  It was harder to find than I thought.  They are in the middle of an offer to train right now so, Summer, you can see and read what they are doing.

I didn't want to use the one we currently use for fear of being biased, but we did use this school for staffing about 1-1/2 yrs ago and they did a good job.  Our company paid down the tuition somewhat to attract a large number of students at one time.  We didn't pay it down this low.

$1990 for the Basics, short internship and a job.  If I'm right this is about the same price as Career Step but you don't get internship or a job there.

I think M-Tec is over $3000 and Andrews is probably close to that.  How much is Andrews?  Does anyone know their tuition cost?

You don't need to pay retail prices to be trained and have a job.  I know Community Colleges are very long and pretty costly so this is a good alternative.

Of course, Penn Foster, US Career, etc are really a tough way to go.  I think a recent grad of US Career told me she had trained on tapes- Whew!!!!!!

I'm afraid there aren't as many MT staffing schools as I thought.  The other one I found didn't remotely compare to this one.  Beautiful website!

Do you know of any legit online medical transcription school that I can consider ?  I really want to do this but seems like all of the schools out there cost an arm and a leg and can not afford to take out so much loan and be in such debt espcially it's not even paying much after I graduate.

Please help me if anyone know of a good, reasonable school I can apply to.  Thank you so much.

I don't want to mention who I work for because it is a small world among the larger companies and schools and I don't want any hard feelings or job grief.  I'm too old now to start over!!

Medical Transcription Staffing schools are not the retail type of schools we normally think of; the ones who advertise on Google, Yahoo and MSN.  These schools specialize in training groups of students for an MT company all at one time.  Or they provide small groups on a regular basis. 

These types of schools also exist in other fields.  They work on what I would call "wholesale margins" because they don't incur as much overhead and they deal in larger numbers.

Rather than promote who we use I'll find one for this board as an example.  I can Google or Yahoo the web and should be able to find one.  I'll do it this weekend, if I can remember.

What is bad about them?

I have not had personal experience with them but have been told by many to stay clear of them.

You can do a search and read many threads on them.

Does anyone know anything about Allstate Transcriptions?  They have a mentoring program for newbies, supposedly, and you have to pay $99 to get into it. I'm very leery of having to pay for anything to get a job.

Hi,

I am a MT and can't find a job or pass employment test.  So, I have to take one of the AAMT approved schools this time around and was thinking about Medical Coding but, not sure of this.  Does anyone know if Medical Coding is harder than Medical Transcription to pass or is the stress more intense?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a bunch!

I am so confused!!  I took a Medical Transcription course and could not find a job and it was not one of the BIG 3.  I am about ready to go with M-Tec Medical Transcription School.  But, I have been reading post about Medical Coders and now I do not know which to choose.  I do not want to make another mistake and choose the wrong school or the wrong career.  Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I've been checking out this company and they require me to buy alot of software...I know I have to have some software, but I just wanted to make sure before I spend too much time (and money-possibly) on this company.   Help, please....

Does anyone know anything about this company?

I would appreciate any information on them.

Thanks !

I am interested in becoming a MT but i'm not sure how to find out information on it. I'm trying to find out which is the best school, best rates and how it all works. Can I start working from home immediately or do I first have to work in an office? Is it hard to find a job? is the pay good? If anyone has any information for me please let me know - I'm getting desperate!

I have taken a Medical Transcription course through PCDI but every job that I have applied for has wanted experience. How do you get experience if no one will hire you? Has anyone else had this problem? Please help...I'm so frustrated with the whole thing!!!

HI! Has anyone heard of AC Medical Records in Oregon?  I was offered a position with them and was wondering if anyone had any info. Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I know what you mean.  The same thing happen to me and now the only thing you can do is enroll in another school.  I am enrolling in M-Tec at the end of the month.  I have researched and researched.  This is one I choose. 

Best of luck to you!

Could anyone let me know who hires new medical transcriptionist?
