Product Description

Review

George's Morton's book is like a long conversation with an experienced medical transcriptionist. No glossing over problems, no promises of training being quick and easy, nor suggestions of quick rewards. Instead, the profession is explained well and the questions most frequently asked instructors and practitioners alike are answered. I will suggest that my students read it thoroughly. I know that it will save me a lot of time going over and over the same material, so I am excited to have it available. -- Marcy Diehl, CMT, author of Medical Keyboarding, Typing, and Transcribing, nationally the most widely used medical transcription education textbook

I am really pleased to have gotten my hands on it. It provides a solid look at the profession and deals honestly with a lot of the questions I have about the work. I had not been able to obtain this kind of in-depth, useful information anywhere else. I'm glad you wrote it. -- a reader

I've just finished reading your book and just wanted to say "thanks"! I am convinced now, more than ever, that this is the career for me! You certainly covered all the bases. Now I'm ready to develop a plan of action. -- a reader

This book will be a valuable tool for anyone who does not understand what a medical transcriptionist is or does, and does nothing but give the honest and actual facts. A great contribution to the profession. -- Stella J. Olson, CMT, business owner and past president of the American Association for Medical Transcription

5.0 out of 5 stars Honest Writing, Sep 20 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Become a Medical Transcriptionist: A Career for the 21st Century (Paperback)
I am just starting a medical transcription training course and this was one of the first books I bought. The book is very honest and straigh-forward and he doesn't try to sugar coat the aspects of the job. Gave me an honest look at what to expect.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Decent Review of Medical Transcription, May 9 2002
By 
This review is from: How to Become a Medical Transcriptionist: A Career for the 21st Century (Paperback)
This book is not "what you'll need to become a medical transcriptionist", as in books and equipment. Rather, it is a general "What is Medical Transcription?" along with things to think about while studying to be one.

I bought this book expecting the former but I'm not disapointed I read it. It explains the current situation in Medical Transcription as a job and answers questions like, "Is Medical Transcription right for me?" It also talks about the job itself and what one should expect - where does one work? are people paid well?

However, I am looking for a book that helps one study on their own to be a Medical Transcriptionst. Most courses seem pricey so I decided to just begin studying on my own. There are tapes of Medcial Dictation (with their transcripts) available on eBay. Unfortunatly, this book did not help too much in this regard except to ephasize the necessity of being competent with Medical Terminology and the importance of being certified by the AAMT.

If you're thinking about being a medical transcriptionst and want to read a gentle introduction to the field then this book is great but don't expect to read the exact steps to take for completing your own education.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide!, Mar 5 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Become a Medical Transcriptionist: A Career for the 21st Century (Paperback)
This book answered every one of my questions about Medical Transcription. It brings you past those glowing home-training advertisements and gives the real facts about what is involved in the training and actual work of this profession. It outlines everything from what skills/traits are needed to the various workplaces. I appreciated Mr. Morton's first hand thoughts about Medical Transcription since I've never met any MTs!

This is a definite must for anyone with some level of consideration for this well-respected career!
