U.S. Career Institute
I believe how well you will do with your training from U.S. Career Institute will have to do with how hard you study. Application of what you have been taught is essential with MT training as it is with any other training. I am learning a lot through U.S. Career Institute as that is my desire. What companies will be looking at is whether or not you can pass their test.

Also, At-Home Professions does still exist. They are a sister school of U.S. Career Institute, and their training is a more extensive. Hence, it costs more.

I hope this is helpful.
US Career Institute
Hi, i'm new to the board and was curious if anyone has heard of US Career Institute. I'm pondering whether or not to get started with this MTing and I'd love to hear any newbie advice, please  Let me know what you know :) Thanks!
I want to know about US Career Institute.

Hello everyone. I am new to this site. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about US Career Institute. I am almost finished with the program. I would say that I have about a month and a half left.

I just wanted to know what my odds were of finding a job after I receive my diploma. I am very nervous and scared I am going to find out that I wasted my time with this school.


I am from Michigan if that is at all helpful in answering my question.

Thank you!


TRS Institute Opinion

Ok, I know that a lot of people have posted questions and opinions about different schools.  I've been researching these myself via AHDI, the school website, requesting them to send info, and reading the various posts here.  I was really leaning towards CareerStep because I can function without someone standing over my shoulder and I liked the idea of being able to finish the course quicker if I put more time into it.  I've working in various areas of healthcare for years.  The last position I held I dealt with outpatient billing for a hospital, departments included ENT, Audiology, and Psych.  I did some CPT and ICD-9 coding for Psych in addition to the billing.  Thus I have experience with medical terminology, diagnosis codes, and medical abreviations.  No one would hire me even with this background.  So I determined school was the best bet.  After the mixed reviews for CareerStep that I've read on here I'm now down to either M-TEC, The Andrews School, or TRS Institue.  I've seen what all the various opinions on M-Tec and Andrews but has anyone had experience with TRS Institue.  I was also looking at Allied Medical School's program for transcription but hesitate because they're not AHDI approved and cost the same as M-TEC.  Allied offers a free laptop but I've already got two :)  Plus they offer lifetime career placement (same as M-TEC) but they're NOT approved which makes me very nervous.


Also, does anyone know how much it takes to take the RMT test?  TRS Institute will pay the fee but I'm just wondering if anyone knows how much that is considering their tuition is $3995.


Any thoughts on this would be helpful.  Thanks for reading!


US Career Institute?
Hello everyone. I was wondering, has anyone here attended US Career Institute? I've heard about M-TEC, Career Step, and Andrews, but nothing about US Career Institute (which I have just enrolled in). If you did attend, did you receive any job placement assistance like they advertised? How soon did you find a job after completing the program? Any help would be wonderful. Thanks :)
US Career Institute
I attended when they were called At-Home Professions.  No, I did not receive any job placement help.  Of course, things could/should change from the time I finished up in 2004.  I had a job immediately upon receiving my certificate...still working for the same company today. 
U.S Career Institute?
Is any one a graduate of this school?  Was it easy to find an at home position when you graduated?  TIA
U.S. Career Institute
is a complete waste of time. Go to one of the top two: Andrews or M-TEC. Anything else is second-class. And no, I am not employed by either of them. I just know how tough the job market is in MTing and hate to see people waste money on matchbook schools.
Any one graduate or know about U.S. Career institute
I am almost through the medical transcription course through U.S. Career institute. Does anyone know anything about them?
At Home Professions / US Career Institute
The same is true with AHP. (now called US Career Institute). Thankfully, I already have pretty good grammatical skills, but there is a good chunck of this program that is strictly dedicated to grammar.
U.S. Career Institute/At-Home Professions
Hi, I am wondering if you are talking about AHP only giving you 20 reports to transcribe? I am taking the class through them and I have transcribed at least 325 reports. There are 8 reports for each chapter in each course. I haven't had any problems with the material they teach you.  You transcribe H&P reports, Chart notes, Discharge Summary reports, Consultation reports, Pathology reports, Autopsy reports, Radiology reports and Operative reports.  Just wondering
US career institute/at home professions

Health Professions Institute is a legitimate school
This is based in Modesto, CA and you can go to the website and check it out: http://www.hpisum.com. They also have great reference books that you can buy. Sometimes you can pick up used programs on MT Daily as well. You can also download samples from their website. Check it out.
