Medical Transcription Online Training
CBT Direct now offers training to become a Certified Medical Transcriptionist/Registered Medical Transcriptionist. But first, why is becoming an CMT or RMT so important?
Certified Medical Transcriptionists are in high demand throughout the medical support services sector of the healthcare industry. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, “With experience, medical transcriptionists can advance to supervisory positions, home-based work, editing, consulting, or teaching”, and “Employment of medical transcriptionists is projected to grow faster than average for all occupations through 2014”.
Although generally paid by the word, or by the line, professional medical transcriptionists can earn a great deal of money, while often enjoying the benefits of working from home, as recent advances in computer and networking technologies have allowed medical transcriptionists to use the Internet for the uploading and downloading of information. As with any position, pay rates vary by region. In some areas, the median income for an experienced Medical Transcriptionist can be approximately $30,000.
Certified Medical Transcriptionists (CMTs)*, following prescribed and established document formats, transcribe or convert recorded dictations by physicians and/or other healthcare professionals into a written text. These documents are the primary mechanism by which physicians, hospitals, and other medical professionals communicate patient record information with other physicians, insurance companies, etc. CMT’s also edit dictated material for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and clarity.
*The CMT requires at least two years of acute care-type setting, or equivalent experience, in a multi-specialty environment. Or, for those who do not have the required experience for the CMT, the Registered Medical Transcriptionist (RMT) is a viable alternative.
