What is a good online medical transcription training program?

1. The Andrews School based out of Oklahoma is the best, imo. That's the program I used and even though I didn't complete it (couldn't motivate myself to finish - I was working full-time) the materials and support were top notch. It's also one of the most expensive... $3800. for the whole program when I was doing it about 6 years ago. There's two other programs I also kept coming back to out of all the programs I researched and they are: M-TEC and Career Step. These three were the best that I could find. http://www.careerstep.com/workathome/?uid=a0321 http://www.andrewsschool.com/ http://www.mtecinc.com/ Good luck - they are all excellent schools!
2. Those are the same three online schools that I always recommend. I trained for medical transcription through Career Step and was able to find a job as a new graduate within 2 weeks. You could also check out http://www.ahdionline.org/scriptcontent/mtapproved.cfm for other recommended schools. To be able to obtain employment after graduation and with no experience, you will need to obtain training through a recognized program. There are a lot of companies that will not hire without experience, but there are quite a few who will allow you to test for them IF you have graduated from a quality program with good grades. Good luck!
3. I went with Meditec.com. I liked it because it was thorough training but didn't throw in the kitchen sink. I was able to finish the course in 4 months, and then went into their internship program and started working right away. It was fast and affordable.
