Career Step, one of the leading training providers in the medical transcription industry, has released a new online training program designed to help medical transcriptionists prepare to take the Certified Medical Transcriptionist (CMT) exam and earn their CMT credential.

"Career Step has been dedicated to the professional development of medical transcriptionists for over 17 years, and our new CMT Exam Prep program is designed to help experienced transcriptionists take an important step in their careers," said Career Step's Vice President of Product Development, Celeste Harjehausen.

Career Step's new training program focuses on reviewing material that will be tested by the CMT exam, including grammar, medical terminology, principles of healthcare documentation, and body systems. Once they finish the training, students will have the opportunity to test their readiness for the CMT exam by taking a mock test. The program is designed to be completed in 75 hours.

The CMT exam is offered by the Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity (AHDI) and is designed to improve the medical transcription industry and recognize the accomplishments of each individual who meets the set professional standards. Industry employers recognize the CMT credential as the mark of a qualified, competent, and experience medical transcriptionist, and those who have earned the credential are often in higher demand within the workplace.
