Medical books are one of the main ways that someone working in the field of medical transcription can stay current with their ever-changing professional field. Medical books are still the most important source of reference material when the medical transcriptionist is working. Every professional MT has their own library of medical books that they depend upon daily to earn their living.
The AAMT Book of Style is one such reference book - one of those "medical books" that no professional medical transcriptionist should be without. Okay, its not a medical book, but everything in it is for the use of the medical transcriptionist in their daily work. Most of the references are to all things medical and how to properly use them, including proper English grammar and punctuation. Whether it falls under the "medical books" title or not - it is a required reference. The book also comes with an accompanying CD of the same information. This is and always has been our #1 selling book. Medword Medical Transcription is a proud corporate member of the AAMT.
