Re: First day at school!
by Instructor Kristi - Hi Sandra ~ Welcome! I also have prior MT experience (20+ years). Your background in medical terminology is definitely an advantage. You will have medical terminology questions on your credentialing exams. I find it easier to code op notes at work with my MT background -- I have a good understanding of what is routine in that procedure and what is not routine. I was a heavy op note transcriber in the past. That was my favorite type of report to transcribe. :)
