Welcome to MTatHome,

Below are some of the Main Contents of what you will get with your Medical Transcription Training through MTatHome.

What you will get with your purchase of the course:

Compete Course Training Material (All Course Training Material is the same - the only difference in each package is the equipment or extra material you do or do not get is varies with each course # package.)

Medical Transcription Training Material

Medical Transcription Terminology Textbook - This textbook is very large it has over 20 chapters full of extensive learning on Medical Terminology. To see a list of what the textbook covers Click here.

Anatomy - You will learn all about the different body parts with our Medical Transcription course. It is very important for MTs to learn about the human anatomy for proper training.

Pharmacology - It is vitally important for MTs to become familiar with different prescription drugs and what kind of medical condition they are used for. You will learn about prescription drugs and different dosage terms, and much more.

It is impossible to memorize every prescription drug, however learning about them and becoming familiar is an important part of any MTs training.  Of course you will want to have a prescription drug reference book for reference when you start working as an MT or a pharmacology drug reference cd.  (Our course 3 comes with this CD; you can also add it to any of our other course options.)

Style & Format, Grammar, Punctuation, Medical Abbreviations - MTatHome follows the AHDI Book of Style for Medical Transcription. This is very important because most employers will expect their new MTs to know all of the current Medical Transcription Style & Format guidelines. 
(AHDI was formally known as AAMT - The American Association for Medical Transcription) 

Authentic Doctor Dictation in Digital CD Format to be used with a Digital Medical Transcription Foot Pedal / Transcriber. (Course 2 Bonus & 3 Ultimate includes a digital transcriber / foot pedal.)

Our dictation has all the medical fields that you will need to learn to do medical transcription. We do not just train you in a few; you are trained in all the ones that MTs need to learn. The dictations also include ones that are easy to hear, a little harder to hear, Doctors with accents, etc. The reason for this is to expose you to any type of situation you might run into when listening to the dictation that the Doctor you work for may give you to transcribe.

Timer Program - To be used to time your medical transcription work to accurately get your accurate LPH.

Medical Terms for Word Speller Dictionary - this will import into Microsoft Word - This helps when you are transcribing your work and happen to type the word incorrectly, the speller will let you know you have spelled it wrong. Most Word processors do not recognize medical terms as spelled correctly. Without a medical dictionary imported into Word you will waste a lot of time trying to tell it that the word really is spelled right. It is important to have the words as they are  supposed to be spelled imported into the dictionary. We provide this for you.

Bonus FREE CD that will cover the elements of inside the human body.

Medical Report Format Training - (It is important to know how the proper format of each type of medical report transcribed should look. While some doctors may have their own preference to bold, capitalizing, it is still important to know how the transcribed report should look.) 

Access to the Student Area -

Detailed Course Direction

Access to the Student Online forum - To talk to other students and MTatHome Staff.

Access to Grammar Sites - To improve your Grammar and punctuation skills.

Access to online tutorials - These tutorials will teach you how to upload and download files to servers online. This is important to know how to do for when you start working.  New tutorials are added on an ongoing basis to help you improve your skills.  

Online & Off-line Training Support - (E-mail, Online Support, Toll Free #) When you have a question you can contact our staff both online and off-line for questions and answers. Many companies (not just MT Training companies) will have their customers call long distance for support questions. We provide our customers in the USA a Toll Free number for support questions.  (Note - Outside of the USA will have to call our local #) There is a good reason for this! How many times have you called a support line, and you have been put on hold forever or have to leave a message on the voice mail for support team to call you back. Both ways can cost you money:  If you are put on hold for a long time it is on your phone bill that you end up paying for it. If you have to keep leaving messages because the company might be busy it is on your phone bill each time. With our company either way it is on "our “phone bill when you use the Toll Free number.

We also have LIVE chat with our student advisors from 9 AM - 9 PM. We are closed on Sunday.

Certificate:  You will receive a certificate  at completion of passing the course. 

Job Assistance at the completion of the course. A lot of times companies will want an MT to be experienced before hiring is considered. However, when you have completed a reputable training course that Dr's; Hospital’s, and MT contracting companies have an acceptable agreement to consider "New MTs" with a transcription test provided by the physician looking to hire you. We will offer this service to you for up to 2 years after you have completed our medical transcription course. This means that if you are not happy with the physician you are working for and want to locate another position; we will assist in this with you!

If you already have a computer that is not real old and has MS Windows XP or Vista then you probably do not need to get a new computer.

You will also need to have the program Microsoft Word for both the course and for working as an MT.

NOTE: Because we are a Christian company and believe in being up front, we wanted to let you know that if you choose to get a laptop through us, please check around online first. Sometimes depending on the time of year you might be able to find a laptop cheaper online. (For example: around the holidays or when school starts.)

We get them at a set price and therefore we cannot lower our rates when other places have sales. We cannot change your enrollment if you do find one cheaper online. Please do your research before adding on a laptop to your enrollment!
