Re: MT Apprenticeship?


I did not think Jay meant that the schools his company accepted
apprentices from were deficient ... I thought he simply meant that he
preferred to accept students from those that had a good reputation for
producing well-rounded MTs, and that his company provided the stepping
stone of additional "ear-training" that every single new MT must get,
regardless of what school they graduated from or whatever innate
ability for MT they may have.

No school, even Andrews or MTEC, can provide hours and hours and hours
of real-time "ear training " that is necessary for a new MT to be able
to hit production levels that services require these days with 2-4-6
hour TATs. Providing "ear-training" is one of the most costly facets
of
breaking in new MTs that any service has ... and many services only
do
acute care these days. They simply do not have the smaller clinics and
single physician dictation available to enable them to hire new MTs in
much larger numbers than 1 or 2 at a time. Frankly I am kind of glad
that there is some sort of interim stepping stone out there for these
MTs, otherwise they would be part of the many MTs on various message
boards posting that they are unable to find that "first" job because
services cannot afford to hire them without working experience.
