Are there any schools or training centers that will - retrain seniors for new jobs for free?

Hello, Can someone reccomend a good MT course. It is for my mother. Her position as Medical Records Reviewer was phased out and she has had no luck finding a position since relocating to be with our family in Alabama. She also has a background in nursing. Unfortunately, she is every salesmans' dream. She is currently considering CareerStep. Huge red flags there! Also, schools that work with fasfa aould be even better. Thanks in advance, Christina ...

I'm researching to find out which is the best online school to choose for medical transcription training. I want to do the training right the first time, so I want to make sure I choose the right one. They all seem to claim to be the top in the country and to have the most successful graduates. I don't mind paying for what I'm getting, but I want to make sure I'm not paying for fluff. I was hoping to get some insight from those who have already be ...

What kind of work do you think that would include? Thanks! ...

Nothing about MT but its a start. Here's the link: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=129406588&ft=1&f=1003 ...

The transcription service company that had this account was great, doctors great, but the client has two problem employees that run the show and can make life pretty miserable. They want you to go by the AAMT BOS, but have hundreds of exceptions, which they do not inform you about. Each time you go by the BOS but it doesn't make them happy, they rant in emails with exclamation marks about how you have been told hundreds of times before, when you never have be ...

Tomorrow night on ABC news they will be doing a special about call center jobs coming back to America and people making $14 an hour, leaving outsourcing centers because America is 3.5 times more productive. Tonight they did a segment about a light bulb company coming back from China to Detroit because its cheaper now with the Obama cutting corporate taxes for keeping jobs in America and there was a segment about EMR company that was in Bangladore or wherever coming back to America an ...

Okay, here we go again.....if anyone has attended a coding school in the last year, is attending a coding school, could you please post your thoughts (was it worth the money, quality, etc)? I know several people are still on the fence as to whether to pay the large sum to go to a private school (Andrews, DeVry) or attend community colleges in preparation to take their credentials in coding. I've been reading posts saying the education from all is basically the same, of course it ...

so now what schools are the best (in Ohio)? are the on-line schools comparable? and what can i expect, as a "newbie" to be making once i land a job? is it better to work for a MT company or be "in" the actual work environment. hospitals vs doctors offfices, etc. need all the info i can get. thanks to everyone again. ...

I am interested in becoming a medical transcriptionist. I was wondering what online school you would recommend. Two that I saw that was interesting was FutureMT and CareerStep. I want to make sure I pick a good school so i can get a good foundation.Also how long did it take for you to finish school? I heard between 3-6 months. Thanks ...

Has anyone went to Allied Schools? They are ADHI approved but do not use SUM. I have talked to many school and would like to know if anyone went here and what their impression was. Thanks. ...

I am going through Allied Schools Medical Transcription program and I was wondering if anyone else out there has gone through them and what they thought. I am close to graduating and also wanted to hear how difficult it was to find a job for an entry level position. Thanks! ...

Anyone out there know of any reputable schools to learning transcription/editing? ...

I'm researching MT schools and weighing the various pros and cons. On my shortlist are two schools that use the SUM program--Andrews & MTEC--and two "schools" that I can't get confirmation on--CareerStep and Ed2Go. Any insights on the latter? Thanks! ...

I learned from someone who found out the hard way that it's important to make sure whatever school you go to is licensed by their state. The information is supposed to be displayed on their website and any other catalogs or ads. If not, there may be a problem. The school in question would tell everyone their state didn't require a license. It turned out that the school kept moving not only from state to state, but from country to country and the state they had been living in did requir ...

I am currently finishing my schooling from Penn Foster and I guess I didn't do enough research before I signed up for Penn Foster and now I'm regretting it. Ever since I've been hearing all the negative comments about Penn Foster I don't even want to finish the course even though I am on the last lesson. Just getting discouraged and want to know if anyone took Penn Foster courses and found a job. Totally new on this whole MT thing and if you have any information about getting ...

Have to admit I'm pretty shocked by several of the posts on this forum, especially concerning how the companies are operating. New to the MT world here, and guess I'm green. Hadn't heard much at the school I attended except this forum was "too negative." I now see there's a legit reason for negative posts about companies if these posters are being honest, and I have no reason to believe they're not. Just wondering how tight a connection the MT schools ...

To apply for a job as a Medical Language Specialist employers prefer that your training was acquired from Career Step, Penn Foster, The Andrews School and others. I acquired my training from Professional Career Development Institute, The School of Medical Transcription. Did anyone find a job after graduating from this institute? ...

I'm one of many MTs who are considering coding. I want to do acute care coding, or hospital/surgical. I've spoke with Allied, AAPC, and both sound reasonable for CPC-H certification. Does anyone have any experiences with either or other schools/courses they will share? ...

Hi all, I just wanted to say, before you commit to a coding course, make sure you have enough time to study! I started Andrews School last year, and right after I started I found out I was pregnant. I work a full time job and now have a new baby. After I completed the first module and started the second module, I was so stressed out I needed a break, now I am having trouble getting back into the swing of things and finding the time to study. My entire tuition is paid for and I ...

In my opinion, you cannot go wrong with Andrews. I went through their medical transcription training course and did very well with my job search. Based on my training at Andrews, I have not had a problem with employment tests, passing the RMT and CMT, etc., and with the coding program, as long as I study hard and do the assignments, I believe that I will have the same experience. Based on the excellent training I received at Andrews, I am beginning to go through the coding course. The ...

Just lost my part-time transcripton job and starting to hear that this field is becoming extinct. Thinking about going to school online for billing and coding. Anybody know of a oustanding accredited school? Do not want to waste time and money barking up the wrong tree. Is it costly? ...

Are there any schools/courses that I could take online for coding that would enable me to pass the CCS and CPC exams? ...

I am trying to sort through the different options out there for education in coding - is there an online school that most of you would recommend? I am officially out of MT'ing after 20 years, threw up my hands, literally, gave up trying to make a living at it. I would probably use up half of my savings for schooling, but after many months of trying on different "hats", so to speak, in the work force, my heart is pulling me back to the medical field. Opinions??? ...

As a current medical profressional I would like to make a career change and take an MT course. Does anyone have any advice as to what to look for in a school? ...

First, don't get me wrong; I'm not trying to be negative about this in any way and wish any new MT success. However, with this profession dying like it is and even very experienced MTs just trying to eke out even $10 an hour . . . It really aggravates me all of these MT schools and courses trying to suck innocent people in with their high tuition costs, etc. The fact is that nowadays it is akin to going and paying x amount of money to go work for $10 or less an hour. These schools/c ...
