you're NOT a moderator. And if you're not who do you THINK you are? MT police?

You OBVIOUSLY have been out of school for a while or never went. Instructors at rip-off MT training sites/schools/colleges usually don't know the first thing about MT they try to "teach"/get-money-from unsuspecting people/would-be students.

Have you heard of the new HIT-Pro test at Hitpro.org? 6 month juco class, take the test (for free?) then bammo you get one of the newly created 50,000 HIT-Pro jobs out there just WAITING to be had. I think it stands for health information tech, the "industry's"
answer to the rush to convert to EMR.

Uh-huh. Wonder how much it costs.

STILL, asking these questions are not allowed here. - (sm) anonMT

I took her post as informative to a newbie. What was posted is the simple truth. This site is not for students to ask their (test/homework) questions - it's for on-the-job help when research fails, or you just cannot get that accent.

Just got a letter from the IRS saying they concluded that I performed services (2013) for the firm (Alpha) as an employee! So looks like Alpha and their COO and CRO "team" weren't playing by the rules, although their webpage currently boasts Ms. CRO "ensured compliance with Federal law and managing the payroll benefits for IMedX" in her bio. I see their new webpage no longer has IMedX attached to it--what's up with that anyone know? ...
