And by the way, I am totally against your scheme to make credentialing and licensing mandatory, for many reasons. <br /><br />I will also never again join AAMT (now AHDI). I will instead, if I choose to join anything, join the new American Transcription Association, which is also TOTALLY AGAINST mandatory credentialing and licensing.<br /><br />Regarding your scheme: "Cui bono?" Ever heard that? Means "Who benefits?"<br /><br />The individual MTs out there, struggling to earn a living in the face of a recession and pay cuts, will not benefit if your scheme comes to pass. <br /><br />You, sir, and your cronies and the various bureaucracies will benefit at our expense--you all will have nice salaries and perks... all without ever having to break a sweat and actually transcribe a line of dictation. <br /><br />No, sir, you do NOT represent my voice, nor do you represent the voices of a good many medical transcriptionists out there.<br /><br />A long time ago, AAMT stopped representing individual MTs, well before you did your name change to AHDI. <br /><br />I have written a more complete reply to the latest puff piece in Advance for HIM Magazine; hopefully they will actually print the letter.Pam Maltzmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05351644181383382427noreply@blogger.com
