On more than one occasion, quality is a secondary issue. The only way to have quality and quantity is to have a sound foundation of education in the medical language. And, the premise that anyone can do this is false. Do not take it for granted that if the individual holds an academic registration behind their name, i.e., RN, PhD, MD, MA, etc, they are qualified to teach or design a medical transcription educational course. Investigate the source of the program.
Nothing hinders a student more than being trained on out dated equipment.
There are many sites on the Internet that offer skillbuilders and these are fun, educational, and a good benchmark for the student to judge whether or not they are being prepared adequately. As you can see, there is a lot involved in making an informed decision. Do not settle for second best in a course, an instructor, or a place of employment. Some individuals have actually changed courses because they became aware that they would not be educated properly to enter the career.
