Posted: Oct 22, 2011
Is there a training course you can take to ramp up your lines in VR? Even a book would be nice. Anyone know of anything??
I know there is facebook site that was just - started, which is SM

designed to help with VR. It has to do with using expanders to speed up tasks routinely needed during editing. I can't remember the name. Hope someone else will respond. If not, go on the company board and ask specifically about this facebook site.

Greetings. I am replying to your question via e-mail because MT Stars forbids mention of social networking sites.
The name of the page is "Medical Transcription Editing Tips and Tricks to Share" and actually it's a group. It is maintained by the proficiency analyst at Transcend, but it is not an "official" Transcend page, and you do not have to work at Transcend to join.
Feel free to c'mon over and join us there. A lot of folks are finding it very helpful. :)
I am considering an online school to learn Medical Transcription. What does the future look like for upcoming MT's? With all the medical changes coming, would this be a career to consider? Thanks for any help!

I am a mom of 3 boys with a lot of secretarial experience. I have taken several college courses recently including Anatomy&Physiology, Medical Terminology, Medical Transcription and Advanced but cannot find a job. Everyone looks for experience. I am in the process of applying to Everett Community College for their certificate. I would love opinions from current MTs regarding your opinion on beginning this career. Is it still a good option? I hear so many differing opinions on the future. Do ...
How long does training takes? How long do they give you to get up to speed, meaning getting your required lines in. Do they pay a shift differential? ...
Anyone know how long you are supposed to get training pay?
Came back to company for some extra $$ and thought I was told this is a 90 day thing, but 2nd paycheck was on production pay though I am still 100% QA?
Anyone have any suggestions on this? I am so confused now. ...
hello... I'm looking for opinions and advice from MTs as to where I should get my MT training. Where do most MT companies like their MTs to have their MT training? Thank you
...
I am still in training, but was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on the software and or equipment I could go ahead and purchase to help me get through my training more smoothly. My dictation at this time is on a CD disk and wondered if a foot petal would help me at this point.
Thanks,

Has anyone tried to train someone else to be an MT on their own, without the courses? I am a CMT and have 18 years experience - I have a couple family members that would like to learn to become an MT but cannot afford the course. I am considering trying to train them myself - any suggestions? ...
What is the latest on the training for no pay? Is is still going to happen? Did it happen or did TT decided to do the right thing and pay for MTs time? ...
Has anyone here taken CNA training, leading to LVN, maybe an RN some day. I am taking an accounting class, but after doing medical transcription for so many years iit is not very stimulating. ...
Good morning, everyone
I am just beginning to learn VR editing and I was wondering if anyone has any tips they can share about how to learn all the keyboard shortcuts there are ? There are so many and I am feeling overwhelmed.
Thanks everyone ! ...
About 6 weeks back I finished the training for 7.0. We were then told that go live was August 20, and that we had to do new training. I just did it. Ladies and gents, I am sorry to say I am scared to death. First of all, I have ADD, and it is hard for me to understand things right away. I am not stupid, but only a person with ADD understands what I am saying. I am going to go over all the training again and again, as that is how I learn things (even in college ...
I asked my CCM and she said no training pay, other than watching the videos. I know some people on this board said they got addition cpl during the first week. Wish there was some consistency to this company! Who to complain to?? ...
I'm finding it difficult to obtain an answer to this. Does anyone know if they pay for so many hours of training? I'm fearing they do not pay training at all.
TIA ...
Hi all! I have applied to a few jobs since leaving my last one, and I'm finding that most companies do not even pay while the MT is training or trying to ramp up. Then, I was looking at Amphion, and they pay new MTs for 3 months while getting up to speed? That doesn't seem real! How can anyone afford to start a new job?! ...
Every day ASR gets increasingly of base. There are so many times when I have to sit and search each line looking for anything that remotely resembles what is being clearly dictated. It started out with maybe 35% accuracy before editing. Now it barely makes 20%. It inserts phrases that were never dictated, apparently just because that dictator dictated that phrase at one time in the past on a different patient. It is having fun with "ALLERGIES" now. It started off only usi ...
Okay, I was laid off in March and I know there was a post about an organization that offered training...and for the life of me I cannot find my notebook that had my notes about it..my husband got ill and I was taking care of him for the past 3 months (all is good now),...could someone please repost the information. I know there was a claim number or something that we would file under...ughhh.... thanks in advance.. ...
To the coding trainees with MModal, when do your classes start and do you have the option of working and/or training in the morning or afternoon? Thanks, just curious... ...
Offer letter states $10 for installation and training but also states prior to release from QC 7 cents a line... Is $10 hour only for installation and enrich training? ...
I can't believe the number of emails, forms to fill out, meetings, more tests to take & phone calls. It's very time consuming and haven't even started yet. ...
Please let me know if there are any schools that prepare grads to take the CCS exam (besides Andrews). I've been trying to research this, but having trouble finding another one that prepares students to take both CPC and CCS. There has to be more than just one that does this. Thanks for your help. ...
I believe that these are old reports used for training, but I don't think they are training new MTs on the account. I believe they are training VR. Someone mentioned below that it doesn't make sense to pay someone to do old reports that have already been done, and I agree with that also. Plus, think about the fact that MDI had never, ever trained like this before, even after receiving email after email asking where all our work was going and why we had no work. ...
To those of you who have completed a transcription course, who did you go through and why? I don't know if this is too specific to ask here, but I did not see any rules against asking about the schooling. I have been an MT for eight years, and received OTJ training, plus I have an extensive medical background prior to transcribing. However, I have a friend who would like to complete a program, and while I have a few schools/programs in mind to refer her to, I would like to ...
Just informed that I have to take MANDATORY HIPAA training without pay because I can take it "anytime on my OWN time!" LOL!!! The course is 45 minutes long! It is not enough that we have to learn account specifics "on our own time", read the constant silly e-mails "on our own time", but now we have to do mandatory training "on our own time." Oh, yeah - and we have to pass the class with a test at the end too! I feel like I am in a volunteer job! Hmmmm, I ...
Why do these "schools" continue to advertise? There is NO WAY someone can learn what we do in 8 weeks. I am amazed at advertisements such as these!!! ...
