The CMT Review Guide is the first and only resource currently available that follows the outline of the American Association for Medical Transcription's new Certified Medical Transcriptionist (CMT) Exam.

Every core content area of the CMT exam is topically addressed in this text. In addition to transcription standards and style, English language, medicolegal and privacy issues, and the healthcare record, The CMT Review Guide takes an organized approach to medical language by providing learning objectives and 50 review questions (30 in print, 20 on CD-ROM) for each major body system covered on the exam. With this systematic approach, the test candidate will gain the confidence and competency needed for successful exam preparation and performance.

Prepare yourself for success with highlights like these—

• System-based chapters featuring 30 review questions to challenge your level of preparation and identify gaps in knowledge for further studies
• A bonus CD-ROM packed with 20 additional questions for each system chapter as well as dictation excerpts to enhance preparation for the transcription portion of the exam
• A separate section outlining key HIM, medicolegal, and HIPAA issues
• Proofreading and editing exercises to develop your skills and test your abilities in advance of testing
• And much more!

Review

The Oregon Voice, 01-DEC-05 -- "I wish this had been around when I was studying for the exam, and those of you who are thinking of doing this in the future have a real advantage now that this is available." Advance for Health Professionals, 17-JUL-06, Volume 6, Issue 15, Elizabeth Aschwege, MM, CMT -- "Overall, this is a well-written, comprehensive tool that can be used to prepare for the new CMT exam, and as the book states, "With a review guide this complete...it almost feels like cheating!" CMTs and certified-wannabes will find this a valuable reference."

I was very please with my CMT Study Guide. It was supposed to be used but it was in perfect condition - no markings, no turned-down pages. It was perfect!! And I was so pleased with the cost compared to a new one on other sites. Thank you for making it available.
