Let me take your money for training and train you for a job that pays pennies.

I stopped teaching MT because I could not in good conscience....well, you know.

I have some swamp land in Florida to sell. If you are interested in that, let me tell you about medical transcription.

It actually explains a lot for me - s/m

It says a lot about the quality of the education and the skills of the graduates if their instructors don't know as much as some of the students. I guess if you have experience, you get to teach in the Transcriptionist PhD program.

Now who in the world would hire MT grads taught by instructors who were not MTs? - Does not make sense

[ In Reply To ..]
No wonder there is such a wide range of success with graduates of the different MT schools. That ad speaks for itself.

Me thinks... - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
They are most likely hiring commissioned sales people who may remain on "intern" status for quite some time.

I think you may be right. - nm

Haha! And who would hire MTs who did not graduate from an MT school? Like in the old days??? - Ha?

I wonder if the applicants have to pay anything - for their own training. nm

I looked at the website briefly to see what it was about. I could not believe the amount of the mentoring program! It was close to the tuition at MTEC and Andrews.

I just found it funny that you were suppose to teach someone a skill when you don't need to possess that skill yourself.

You don't have to have a skill in order to teach it to others - See message

Just Kidding. :)

It's really not so funny. It's being done all the time in community colleges - See message

You would be amazed if you knew who was teaching some of the MT courses. I applied once with years of experience and was turned down. Then they hired someone who just graduated and had never worked a day in her life as an MT. Another one of the instructors also had never been an MT and she was allowed to teach because she had been through nursing school! Now it might be just fine for a nurse to teach medical terms or A&P, but there is so much more to being a medical transcriptionist that you really need someone teaching you who knows what they are talking about. Administration of some of these schools 'don't know what they don't know', as we discussed earlier this week.

Please help! I just completed an online MT course a month ago. While I was in the program, they added a couple classes, and in the process removed some of the course content from the class I was in. I now have to take the additional 2 classes (at an added expense) in order to "complete" their program. Their program was full of errors, and I was constantly contacting the school to correct THEIR answers! Needless to say, the level of education I received is not sufficient to gain employment, even ...

So I am looking into making the switch from MT to coder. The AHIMA program says it takes 15 months to complete and then you can sit for the CCA exam. The AAPC program says you must complete it in 4 months and you can sit for CPC or CPC-H. Wouldn't the latter be better? I've been reading that CCA is pretty much worthless. So, why would CCA take 15 months and CPC take 4 months? Also, every job I've seen for a coder requires experience. How c ...

I've also worked for a hospital scheduling outpatient testing for the past three years, so I have a bit of a background in medical terminology (still so much to learn!) and the inner workings ...

I'm looking for some feedback/advice on pursuing medical coding education. I'm 53 and will be retiring from my current government position in about 3 years - about the time the ICD-10 will be in full implementation. (On the side, I work part-time as a medical transcriptionist.) I was advised to hold off on taking a medical coding course for a couple of years due to the fact I would be learning from the current ICD-9 and then have to have retraining later in the ICD ...

I think it would be very helpful for many people if some of the more senior coding people on this forum could advise on what new coders should look for in a school or training program. I'm not looking for specific names, but rather that you should make sure your school teaches A, B and C. Things you want to avoid are X, Y and Z. Personally, my first school would probably have done the trick (a community college) if not for the fact that they only off ...

I began at Andrews a while back in the CCS ICD-9 studies and had to delay school due to some unforeseen personal issues. I am now reinstated and in the final module of ICD-9 but am wondering what will happen if I am unable to finish up and test (and pass) before the probable ICD-10 implementation in October. Will AHIMA still honor my certificate with Andrews as the necessary education requirement or will it have to specifically be for ICD-10? I know it will be up to me to study ...
