Internet.
A complete
module dedicated just to Laboratory and Pathology with extensive transcription
practice in this area. We have found that graduates
of other programs have come to us just for this experience, but we've
included it here in this course so that YOU will become an expert
MT.
Special
module dedicated just to Pharmacology. Learn about
different drug types, drug laws, drug classifications, sound-alike
drugs, drug dosages, abbreviations for pharmacology. We include quite
a number of transcription exercises that focus on Pharmacology so
you will learn the most common drugs, what they are used for, and
what dosages are most common. Not having to guess, but rather KNOWING
this information is vital to the Expert MT and your future career.
Extensive
Anatomy & Physiology study within each body system with interactive
self-tests to reinforce your learning experience.
Our photographs and drawings help you understand each body system
as it is explained. Here are some of the body systems you'll learn
about:
- Skin and cellular system
- Skeletal system
- Muscles and joints
- Nervous system
- Blood and Lymphatic
system
- Cardiovascular system
- Respiratory system
- Digestive system
- Endocrine system
- Eyes and Ears
- Urinary system
- Male reproductive system
- Female reproductive
system
- Obstetrics
- Pediatrics
- Radiology and Diagnostic
Imaging
- Oncology (Study of Cancers)
- Psychology (Mental Health)
- Gerontology
Extensive learning within each body
system of root words, suffixes and prefixes. We teach
you how to recognize any medical term just by analyzing its root words.
Thorough discussions of diseases and
medical conditions of each specialty. Our photos,
once again, help explain each condition thoroughly.
With our extensive Resource Library,
we include links to hundreds of web sites and articles so
you can study specific areas of interest in your spare time if you
like.
We cover in depth all the major diagnostic
tests done within each specialty . With photos and
in-depth articles, you'll learn what each test does and what it means.
This includes laboratory and pathology testing as well as radiology
and other diagnostic testing.
Learn about all types of surgical techniques
and operations for each body system. Not only will
you learn the most common surgeries, you'll also get a peek inside
an operative room that teaches you procedures like these from start
to finish. Learn the instruments as well as the prepping and draping
that occurs just before surgery. Then learn different types of incisions
and sutures. You can polish that newly learned information by transcribing
hundreds of minutes of surgical notes. This alone will help you become
eligible to work anywhere – clinic or hospital – as a medical transcriptionist.
Extensive vocabularies and glossaries
within each module with voice files so you can hear each word being
pronounced. Now you KNOW what each terms sounds like
as you read the written word. Listen as many times as you need to.
The audio portion of this course is awesome, as you learn the term,
learn its meaning, and then learn the pronunciation as well. That
way, when the physician dictates the word in real transcription, you
KNOW what it is.
You can practice transcribing all throughout
the course! With our practice dictation at the end
of each body system, your ear is slowly trained to carefully listen
and transcribe what you have just learned. Practice as much as you
like or as often as you like. You can even go back to a previous body
system at any time if you like and practice some more. This is an
excellent beginning teaching tool that is a stepping stone to the
intermediate and advanced physician dictation you'll be doing later
in the course.
Transcription
Tips and Techniques are scattered all throughout
the course in the appropriate place to help you learn the real world
of transcription, not just transcription in theory. Our goal is to
see YOU succeed!
Extensive abbreviation lists for almost
all specialties. Not only will you learn the most
common abbreviations, you'll also be introduced to the ones that are
not so common. Again, self-tests help you confirm that you understand
each abbreviation as it is explained.
You will have access to the comprehensive
on-line resource library which contains hundreds of interesting articles
with full color photos , in-depth vocabulary lists, and thousands
of medical reference links. This is an invaluable
resource only available to our students. Our online vocabulary lists
are massive – some of the biggest collections of words in the industry,
now in a format available for you to download FREE.
Use of the Beginning SUM reports on CD, Intermediate SUM Surgery reports
on CD, and the Advanced SUM reports on CD which together are more
than $3,000 worth of instruction! This plus our own
in-house dictation is between 800 and 900 hours of authentic physician
dictation transcription practice (although most students don't need
that much to graduate.) No need to buy expensive practice tapes and
cassettes. We even include the keys! The Advanced SUM CD contains
reports of all types of dictators: foreign dictators, mushmouths,
and mumblers -- all designed to strengthen your skill as a transcriptionist.
Beginning SUM training reports on CD with keys – these reports alone
help you enter the medical transcription field at an entry level.
Intermediate operative
training reports with keys are a little harder than the beginning
reports and are designed to wean you gradually into more difficult
transcription with a focus on surgical specialties.
Advanced SUM training reports
on CD with extensive instructor feedback on every one!– these reports
are advanced specialty reports that include difficult dictators, many
different foreign dictators, and hospital terminology you'll need to
know. (Note: In order to control the costs of the course, the SUM CDs
are provided on loan only and must be returned upon completion of the
course.)
In-depth
instruction in how to access dictation using FTP and use of a Wav
pedal which is the industry standard for sending/receiving
digital dictation. A Wav pedal and software – this equipment takes
the place of the old-fashioned tape transcriber and allows you to
transcribe audio files from anywhere. With a Wav pedal, you can access
transcription in California while living in Florida . We teach use
of this equipment as it is becoming more and more used by transcriptionists
all over the world. (Note: The Wav pedal becomes your free gift from
us upon graduation. No need to buy your own just for training! Wait
until you are offered employment to find out what type of other equipment
you will need for your career, if any, as there are several different
types of other equipment that could be used.)
Interactive
typing tutorial software. (This will help you to
build lightning fast speed!) Practice as often or as little as you
like. This specialized software (with your permission) will even monitor
your typing speed and habits in other programs in which you type (such
as chat and/or reports) and show you your weaknesses. Then the program
will create exercises to help you strengthen those weaknesses. No
other typing tutorial is more comprehensive.

terminology flash cards - These professional cards
help learn and retain more information, even when you're away from
the computer. Now you can practice your suffixes, prefixes and root
words away from your computer. 1000 cards professionally designed
and published.
