RMT/CMT study material - KimBerly


Posted: Apr 16, 2013

Anyone have any good sites that have study material?  

Not worth the time or money - db

Don't waste your time or money. CMT/RMT is a cash cow for AHDI. Hospitals don't care about BOS. You'll get more out of the reports you type than the study materials they promote.

Are you aware of the rebranding by AHDI?

"Background and Timeline
We have been broadening our scope to healthcare documentation in response to an evolving marketplace and changing roles for medical transcriptionists. Beginning in 2007, we changed the name of our association and then in 2012, we introduced the new professional title of healthcare documentation specialist. This year, AHDI will be rebranding our credentialing exams and credentials to Registered Healthcare Documentation Specialist (RHDS) and Certified Healthcare Documentation Specialist (CHDS)."

I'm not sure what good it will do you to study for the RMT/CMT because they are eliminating them. Current RMTs/CMTs will be given the option to take the RHDS/CHDS test "for a fee," of course.

No, I didn't know they were getting rid of them. I'm so out of the loop on things. I chose this profession, and now am just wandering out there in transcription land lost...

Study Should Be Done
Jan 27, 2012

I think if a study were done, findings would show that the tediousness and repetitiveness and intricacy of the editing required for this particular ASR will slowly but surely drive you insane.  I am so nervous, I chew gum like a wild woman (and now need my second crown which I cannot afford), have developed tics and skin picking, and eat voraciously --- due to editing.  Flame away, but I have typed for 25+ years and never had a problem (actually enjoyed my job); however, after 5 or so ...

And for people who have done this on your own, what did you include in a program of study for yourself? Are there some areas that you feel an in-house course is needed?  Replies greatly app ...

Usual story -- I loved MT, but I'm about to be laid off and know another MT job would probably pay minimum wage (if that!).  I'm lucky, in that I'll get enough unemployment to live on and will probably still have enough savings to pay tuition.  However, I have no preexisting college degree, and both unemployment and tuition money will only stretch to about 5 quarters. I've already passed the CPC exam once, can brush up and pass it again.  My local co ...

Hello, I am a fresh graduate from MTEC . I am currently preparing for AHDI's RMT exam. I bought the study bundle which consists of the RMT exam guide and an audio CD. Al in all, I have learned a great deal from the study guide... but... yes, there's always a BUT... While reviewing the entire RMT exam guide, I noticed some blatant mistakes as well as unclear questions. One example is a mixup between "affect" vs. "effect". The RMT study guide's answer key states that "effect" is a ...
