Dear Toni et al.,
I totally agree with hiring people NOT from the listed schools. Here are 2 reasons:
1. I've been teaching Medical Transcription and Medical Terminology in a technical college in Maine for 7 years -- and 15 years before that in San Francisco. Transcribed early in my career, then ran a hospital department and a transcription service My school uses the approved reference material and the AAMT tapes for training, and we have had
graduates I would have hired in a minute, were I still doing that work. I came from a background as medical editor, not what we call QA now, but published medical textbooks, so you can imagine how particular I am! My first
transcription job was with Vera Pyle. Remember her? So, I guess you could say I was qualified to teach, right? We charge around $220/semester for each class, so it's a real bargain, too.
Best regards,
Rosemarie Danelle
2. I recently tutored a student privately from 1 of the so-called,top-rated schools (Email me personally if you want their name)and found HUGE errors in her corrections, not to mention inconsistencies from Editor to editor working with her. Also found grammatical and spelling errors in the editors' Emails to her. Absolutely horrifying, and it cost more than $4,000 for the course.
