I would read the forums on here-There are quite a lot about schools. I would als0 check the AHDI website. They have a list of approved schools. I am attending Andrews right now and so far I think it is a great school. It is all long-distance learning and they don't offer internships. The 3 schools I hear the most about and that seem to have the best reps are Andrews, Career Step, and M-Tec.

Career Step's greatest weakness is that it does not have instructors--and that has been very troublesome for many MTs I know who went there.

Are you a native speaker of English? There are many spelling and grammar errors in your message; you might want to take an English refresher or brushup course before applying to any schools. That would be perhaps be more helpful at this point. Schools won't (or should not) accept students who do not have basic skills in spelling, grammar, and syntax. This can be learned. Good luck to you.

Medical Transcription School Has Left Me A Little Unnerved
Feb 14, 2010

I recently had an experience with an MT school that has left me a little unnerved.  Therefore, I have a couple of questions for those who are currently attending school or have completed an MT program.  Were you provided statistics about the number of actual graduates?  Schools can have a lot of enrollees but it’s my opinion that the number of actual graduates matters. Were you provided any information about the qualifications of your instructors?  My next question is for the experienced M ...

Miss The Good Old Days Of Medical Transcription
Mar 27, 2014

I miss the lively atmosphere of a transcription room filled with other transcriptionists, with doctors strolling in and out, joking, grabbing from the tray of homemade goodies someone had brought in to share.  I miss the laughing and sharing of stories or the mutual griping about the doctors' dictations.  I miss the holiday pot luck dinners and decorations and bonuses.  I miss the formal dictating style that doctors used to go by.  I miss having a job that was in demand ...

Hi everyone, I just graduated from Rasmussen online college with a 2 year degree in medical transcription back in September.

My question is, does Rasmussen College have a good reputation in the medical transcription world? ...
