A must have

Simply put, this book is a must for any person wanting to get into the MT profession. I bought it about 2 years ago, and here I am 1-1/2 years later in the MT field. :) Highly recommend.

HIGHLY RECOMMED

I AM IN THE PROCESS OF BUYING THIS BOOK. I AM STUDYING AT HOME TO BE A MEDICAL TRANSCRIBER. THE OWNER OF THE SCHOOL RECOMMENDS THIS BOOK TO ALL HER STUDENTS. SHE STARTED THIS BUSINESS ON HER OWN AND HER REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS ARE GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME.

A High Recommendation

I am attending a highly acclaimed medical transcription school. The owner/director of the school says that this a tremendous help for those of us entering the field. I will be purchasing this book in the near future.
