AAMT Book of Style... A definite reference necessity for medical transcription

I am currently working through training as a medical transcriptionist. I occasionally have errors in completed reports which almost always are corrected after reference to this book. With constantly altered 'rules' on formatting, this book allows for the easiest 'final proof' of formatting that I have come across. I would recommend this to anyone who is serious about investing into a career as a medical transcriptionist. This reference cannot be replaced!

Excellent reference book

This book is an excellent reference book for the new and experienced transcriptionist. It is easy to find information and gives all the rules necessary to be an experienced and knowledgeable transcriptionist. I have used this book since 1995 and have found it to be extremely helpful in several areas of transcription.

Superior education and instruction reference.

Being a medical transcription practictioner, supervisor and educator, I would like to encourage everyone who is serious about medical transcription as a career to invest in this manual. The AAMT is a trendsetter and an asset to any transcriptionist's library. User friendly and extremely informative for both the student and experienced. It is even helpful when educating the physician, helps when you have it in print!!

The best reference for medical transcriptionists.

Since I am new at transcription, I needed a great reference book to be at my side. This book is great because its sections are in alphabetical order - if you need to find out the correct spelling for "mid portion" you simply turn to the "M" section, and there is "mid" and the different and correct uses for the word. I have used this book frequently and I haven't seen a book for transcription that has been this useful.
