I heard that were going review resumes after the New year.

Search the boards and send out resumes, and review your grammar and punctuation

Company called MedGarde
Wondering if anyone has any info on MedGarde as well as how many hours you might think a newbie would have to do to transcribe 30 minutes of dictation?
Any comments welcome.

It's called taking advantage. SM
Two weeks at no pay? Two year contract? Please. More like 2 years of indentured servitude. Good luck with that.
It's called experience, Paul...and that is why it is so valuable $$..nm

Acute care is also called basic 4, which is
H&Ps, discharges, Ops, and consults. Clinic can vary from a doctor's office to an in-hospital clinic. The in-hospital clinic might be a little more technical than an office and the format may/may not be similar.
In my experience clinical is not a lot of medical terminology and the drugs tend to be the same ones over and over again. I liked doing clinic work in that I knew what sickness was going around and what the recommended course of treatment was. With clinical dictation you also tend to have the same doctors every time so you get to know them and can make lots of normals, which will have you producing more lines. It can get boring though to have the same person over and over.
The line rate is usually higher for acute care too.
I think there's a CD program out there called ADAM for studying anatomy in a gen

Fair criticism.

Oops..nevermind. I found it.

My post did not edit, that is somewhat embarrassing!
Oops
Haha, sorry about the "seen" typo... should be "seem" ... I usually proofread! Very frazzled!
Oops, that s/b want
Oops! Let's try that again... I'd really appreciate advice
on which is better: online course (one of the top three) or local community college. I've met with the dept head of our college, who answered plenty of questions I had. However, I still feel drawn to the flexibility of training at home, online. If I choose the online route, I would prefer to start working at a local dr. office after I complete the course. I've heard it's great for newbies b/c you have others around to help, etc. Have you heard/experienced if it's hard to get a job locally after graduating from an online course? I think I'd do ok getting a job from a national co, but I hear the pay is better if you're willing to go onsite locally (aprox $15 per hr to start around here), and since I am able to go outside my home, I'd rather get paid more to do that! Eventually, I'd like to work from home, but not right away.
Can you give me any insights? Thanks so much!

oops - sorry, I misspelled your name-Nicholele...nm
oops. meant to respond to both
not too familiar with this site. i meant to respond to both of you. so consider both of you thanked!
OOPS< correction on what I meant...
The name of that textbook I mentioned is Mecical Transcription Fundamentals and Practice. (MTFP)
The AAMT and the "Top Three" just feed each other - so-called approval by AAMT means nothing
a lot of community college programs are far better than the "top three." Just make sure you get plenty of actual dictation. If you don't have good grammar skills and aren't a literary-type person this may not be the field for you. I can't tell you the unbelievable applications I get for MT jobs - misspelled words, sloppy grammar, and how about those st*pid email addresses THEHOT1@aol.com, etc. Sheesh. If you're one of THOSE, then be prepared to look for a l o n g time to get your first job LOL
oops!...can't take on anymore students/trainees ...nm
.
oops, reread post and saw you already work for them. Document
every thing and file a claim against them with the BBB and the attorney general's office. If they owe you money that you can document also contact the labor board in their state.
Oops--- meant to add...explain your concerns & go with the one you feel most comfortable with.
