MT at University - -sb

Do Universities generally teach MT?
I've seen the schools on-line but would rather take it at a college.

Just curious.

Some community colleges have a certificate in medical transcription. - mrs.krabs

I know our local two year community college has a MT program and that the four year university does not. And why would you want to pay what a four year university charges as opposed to a community college? The local State university is about three times the cost of the 2 year college.

my local state u. does - pumpernickel

One of our state universities that happens to be in my town has a college of technology that offers vocational programs with certificates and associate's degrees. They have an associate's degree program for health information technology (RHIT program) that includes a transcription class and I think they also offer a certificate in transcription.

so do the online schools! - sm

do not offer medical transcription as a degree. Some offer a degree such as health care administration (usually a masters). Your bachelor's for something like that would most likely be in business, computer science or nursing.

So about 6 months ago I started the MT program at Kaplan University and have been really enjoying it so far. I was reading in this forum earlier, however, and read about a school called Andrews. I was just wondering what the difference was between the degrees that are offered at Kaplan and Andrews and if anyone on the forum has graduated from Kaplan or is in their program and what they thought of the program and if they were abled to get hired right away or not. ...

Can anyone tell me if Precyse still has Precyse University for training. I went to work for them a few years ago and quit because I was only doing 1-2 hours a day for a couple weeks going through the University and waiting for things to be approved in order to move on and was not making any money, got fed up and quit. I would like to reapply but do not want to if they still do Precyse University training. ...
