There are three schools (known as the top 3) that are considered to be the best for medical transcriptionist (MT) training. They are as follows:

1) M-Tec
2) Andrews School
3) CareerStep

CareerStep is the most affordable one. M-Tec probably has the most comprehensive program; the Andrews School has a good program too.

Also, CareerStep training can be taken online via Everett Community College, in Everett, Washington. If you qualify for Financial Aid, you can use it for CareerStep training at this school. Certified Medical Transcriptionists (CMTs) teach these classes. A CMT is definitely experienced and has exceled in the medical transcription field.

San Juan College, in San Juan, New Mexico has a similar program that uses CareerStep training modules; financial aid is available for this program too. However, CMTs are not teaching the classes.

A wealth of information can be obtained on the medical transcription profession via the American Association for Medical Transcription (AAMT), a professional organization that sets the standards for the MT profession. Also, there is an online group for medical transcriptionists, mtstars.com, that has several discussion boards for the MT community. One board is geared toward new MTs/students.

There are also other comprehensive MT programs other than the top 3; you would need to do some research. The AAMT has guidelines as to what to look for in a thorough MT program.

I hope this helps.

Most employers require years of exerience. HOWEVER, many will waive this requirement if you graduate from an AHDI 'approved' school.

AHDI is the Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity – www.ahdionline.org (formerly known as the American Association for Medical Transcription). AHDI sets the standards for MT courses. Employers know that graduates of these 'approved' courses have gained the skills necessary to begin their career as an MT.

If your looking into Medical Transcription pay the extra in tuition to attend an 'approved' school. When I was researching school options, I called several MT employers. I spoke to their Human Resources departments and asked about getting started in the field. All of them recommended attending an AHDI approved program. Many people have received training through inadequate programs only to find out that they are unable to find a job.

I attended Career Step and recieved a job (at-home) less than a week after graduating. I've received several more job offers since, but have stuck with my original employer. It can be a difficult job, but I love it!

I recommend CS because they are partnered with MANY employers, self-paced (you can finish in a few months or take as long as over a year or two), and more affordable than the other top 2 courses. Plus, I have personal experience (and success) with the program.

Attending your local community college will give you a good chance at a job in-house, but if you are wanting to work from home, an online 'approved' course is the way to go.
Good luck!

1) M-Tec
2) The Andrews School
3) CareerStep

CareerStep training can be taken via Everett Community College in Everett, Washington and it can also be taken through San Juan College in San Juan, New Mexico. If you take the CareerStep training through a community college that offers it, you can get Financial Aid if you qualify. The only drawback is that you will have to take the classes based on the college's school/academic year rather than your own self-paced schedule.

I hope the above is helpful.
