Hi Jari!
Hope all's well with you, yours, and Meditec!
I just wrapped up my internship -- It was a fantastic experience, and your advice (not to take feedback personally) was right on! Along the same line, I happened to catch an Oprah show where she spoke of their staff having a saying--"Feedback is our friend"--and it became my mantra!
I also kept a detailed log of QA feedback I affectionately called "the good, the bad, the ugly", and absolutely loved the challenge and the sort-of detective aspect of filling in the gaps and learning something new each day. I have to say my favorites are the the psych reports and autopsies.
The Jumpstart program is such a valuable and unique feature of Meditec's offerings, and I am so glad to have been a part of it. In terms of job prospects, MT is actually a second career for me, and I am in the fortunate position of it being something I want to do as opposed to something I must do. Yesterday, exactly 6 months to the day from my Meditec final exam, I signed on with *****(withheld name of company) as an IC. It suits my lifestyle perfectly, and I am delighted!
Thank you, thank you, for all the ways you and your staff have had a hand in making this whole new opportunity a reality for me and so many others. I am looking forward to honing my skills and becoming certified, and will continue to recommend and endorse your program to friends and family...it's the best!
Fondly,

Medical Transcription Certificate Program
What is Medical Transcription?
Virtually every encounter that takes place between a health care provider and a patient is recorded either by voice or electronically. When dictated, the information is then transcribed (typed) by a Medical Transcriptionist and the report is filed in the patient’s chart (hard copy or electronic or both) using a computer and a word processor.
As a career, Medical transcription is one of the few legitimate career choices that allows you to work at home. An average MT with one year of experience earns a minimum of $18 to $20 an hour with many MTs making considerably more. According to the Government’s Occupational Outlook Handbook, this career field is expected to grow by 11% through the year 2018 due to an increase in the aging population. This makes medical transcription both a stable and lucrative career choice. Click here to request our free eBook to tell you all about Medical Transcription.

What About Certification?
Certification is available for most of the career programs we teach. Certifiers may require some level of actual experience before allowing a certification test (coding, for instance), but allow students to join as “associates”. Most students who successfully pass our program are well prepared to pass certification exams from either AHDI (which strongly suggests 2 years of acute care experience before taking the CMT exam) or Med-certification (which offers an entry level certification for newly trained MTs).
