Debra Said:

Has anyone completed an online course thru US Career Institute for Medical Transcription ?

We Answered:

I understand the appeal of courses such as this. Very low down payments and monthly payments. Promises of $50,000 a year starting out. Traditionally, education clearinghouses, which are businesses that offer training in 100s of different programs are not the best for training medical transcriptionists.

I used to assist with hiring for an MT service and I looked for graduates from top schools and those with some experience. I would not consider graduates of educational clearinghouse businesses.

Best wishes to you.

With schooling, please steer clear of those online, for-profit schools (course credits may Not transfer either) such as penn foster, US career, kaplan, ITT tech, everest, sanford brown, ashworth, devry, argosy, stratford career, walden, ashworth, capella, ashford, remington and others: http://www.ripoffreport.com and can type into search.

Another consumer site: http://www.complaintsboard.com (and http://www.pissedconsumer.com )

Please also forgo those private $$ career/tech schools and instead opt for the more affordable county vo-tech school or community college as long as the program is Accredited within the industry.

Regarding those online/'work at home' jobs, please know that just about all are scams especially if asking for money upfront or for personal info which may put one at risk for identity theft: http://www.ftc.gov and can click 'identity theft' or such.

Has anyone tried the US Career Institute medical billing/transcription? Is it worth it, did you get a job? ?

We Answered:

I believe that US career is one of those online, for-profit schools which also include penn foster, stratford career, university of phoenix, capella that are merely out to 'make a profit': http://www.capellauniversitysucks.us

There aren't supposed to be too many jobs for medical biller or coder (or medical assistant) despite what those private $$ careers schools proclaim :)

Not really sure about the job market for the medical transcriptionist but please ignore those so-called work at home opportunities as most are a scam especially if asking for money upfront or personal info which can put one at risk for identity theft. For more info on identity theft: http://www.ftc.gov and can click on term.

If still interested in training, please opt for the more affordable county vo-tech school or community college as long as it's accredited within the industry.

For general career info on MT: http://www.bls.gov/oco and can search 'medical transcriptionists' or such.

Those places are overpriced certificate mills. Shouldn;t you have checked for "success stories" before you paid them?
