Medical Websites - LauraM


Posted: Aug 29, 2011

Are there any medical websites that are like textbooks for dermatology, cardiology, etc. I can't seem to find very much in-depth information on the web. I am trying to pass some on-line transcription tests, but can't seem to find enough detailed information. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Laura, at times searches have taken me to the CDC site, where - where I have seen offerings of free

training programs in medical subjects or disciplines. Valuable education available free. BTW, CDC is the Centers for Disease Control.

Just now I went there to find something for you, didn't easily, so googled CDC and "cancer registry" and came up with a list of intriguing possibilities, including "Cyber Cancer Registry," inviting me to register myself and start working on their "interactive tool" with exercises and quizzes. It finishes with a certificate (usefulness not specified), but certainly good for anyone interested in seeing what that work would involve.

I thought I once saw something directly applicable to what we do, bypassing paid training, but a search on "medical terminology" didn't turn up anything. In any case, registry isn't the only one in the medical field.

Could Anyone Recommend Good Medical Coding Websites?
Jan 31, 2012

Hello, I am becoming disenchanted with the medical transcription profession and how it has become less lucrative (although some may disagree). I wanted to look into medical coding as an alternative at-home (remote) or in-office job.  I was hoping someone could recommend a few good websites that discuss the profession, how to prepare for it, how long training typically takes before you can "launch yourself", how lucrative it could be if you really apply yourself, and so on.

Meant to post in the word help section.  Hopefully it gets moved.  Sorry.

Medical Transcription At Home To Become A Medical Scribe?
Jan 20, 2015

Has anybody left medical transcription at home to become a medical scribe?  I have an opportunity to do so but there aren't any scribes currently in my area and I don't know anyone who has worked as a scribe before.  The scribe position starting pay is almost double what I make as an MT per hour so it is very tempting, I just don't know much about it. ...

I Just Saw An Ad For A Medical Scribe
Jun 25, 2010

I just saw an ad for a Medical Scribe.  The description is that the MT accompanies the doc from room to room to see patients, sits at the computer in the room and transcribes the H&P/procedure while doc is doing the exam.  Starting pay was $17/hr with full benefits.  Anybody ever heard of this?  I think it's a good idea, leaves the doc hands free to tend to the patient.  It sounds a little like being a court reporter as far as "live" dictation being done. ...
