Medical Transcription Proofreading and Specialty Training
|
Medical Transcription Proofreading Training is a great class. Many transcriptionists want to "move up". Proofreading also known as editing or quality control requires much less typing! We can educate almost all of our students, but we can't teach curiosity. The curious, ambitious student will continue the learning process as long as she or he has room to grow or earn a higher rate of pay.
Specialty Training teaches advanced medical transcription skills. This class prepares the student to work at a higher level and with increased pay opportunities. The student has access to an experienced instructor at all times in the Student Forum, by phone or email.
Proofreading Internship is a truly unique class. Many transcriptionists want to "move up". Proofreading also known as editing or quality control requires much less typing! Some transcriptionists have trouble with carpal tunnel. Other MTs wish to use their experience to move up the pay scale. And still others enjoy the chance to move into an area that allows them to "train". We don't know of any other Medical Transcription School offering an Internship for Proofreading. Are you best suited being a Proofreader?
Learning is more than absorbing facts, it's acquiring understanding. Students understand when they can ask questions and get answers from their own instructor.
Specialty Training is a thoroughly comprehensive 19 hours of physician dictation in five main medical specialties: cardiology (4 hours), gastrointestinal (4 hours), orthopedics (4 hours), pathology (4 hours), and radiology (3 hours). You must know these Specialties to work at the top level of the transcriptionist profession. These reports challenge the student. Specialty 1 is "the finishing touch", preparing students for work in any medical transcription setting. This program is very self directed.

Prerequisite: Completion of Training Steps or equivalent Length of class: This class will take approximately four (4) months total (400 hrs.). This is a very thorough study. A three (3) month extension is available.
A seasoned medical transcriptionist is responsible for creating a document which is accurate and returned to the system in a final polished form. This means editing and proofreading skills are a must! Once again Internship is the best teacher.
Every first-rate healthcare facility and medical transcription company has a quality control department which checks all their transcription. The purpose of this course is to prepare the student for work in this setting. In this Internship you will learn how to proofread and edit work typed by other medical transcriptionists.
A great attitude is both free and priceless at the same time. You'll learn how to acquire this skill if you don't already possess it. Proofreading is more than imparting knowledge to those you edit, it's also a matter of inspiring some changes.
Prerequisite: Completion of Specialty Training or equivalent. Length of Proofreading Internship: This internship is not self-paced. Your schedule is established by you and your mentor. The entire Proofreading Internship is to be completed in no less than four (4) months. A three (3) month extension is available for students who have scheduling issues.
Once a person loses the spirit of learning and rests on their achievements, their progress stops.

"Unfortunately, some students learn about Bright StartTM only after spending hundreds, or thousands of dollars on inferior training."

"I have just completed an Advanced Medical Transcription program with ........ College in Canada. I now understand the importance of a mentor, which my program does not offer. Although it has only been two weeks, I am already experiencing the frustration of trying to find an entry-level position. Is your mentoring program open to MTs that have not taken your program?"
Many students come to us recommended by employers that would not hire them because of "inadequate education". Try our Make Up Class
