Reputation of "At Home Professions" - Becky


Posted: Nov 10, 2009

Does anyone have any information about a company called "At Home Professions"?  i attended a seminar presented by that company to learn more about medical transcription as a profession.  I was impressed by the information and the materials but want to hear from someone who has taken their course.  Is the company credible?

Thanks!

at home professions - not sure

I worked with an MT back about 10 years ago that had taken the class. The place we worked together really did not want to hire her becuase it was not a well-known or reputable course, but they thought they would give her a chance. And this was 10 years ago. Now not sure if companies would hire that easily if it is not a reputable or accredited course. She struggled a lot and finally left the profession because she did not feel she was educated well enough to want to continue working as an MT.

I went to one of the seminars myself after I was already an MT and was not really impressed by what they were promising even back years ago. Maybe it has changed

At Home Professions is not an AHDI accredited school, and therefore a lot of employers do not consider this a "real" MT school. If you are thinking about attending a medical transcription school, you need to make sure that it is AHDI accredited, or you are wasting your time and money.

At the hospital, we send the op reports out, probably 60 a day.  They get done by a company owned by the former Q but they claim they're done in America.  Every day we come in to 50 of t ...
